One of my last posts was about what to expect from food while you're in Guangzhou. Even knowing all that we do, mistakes still happen.
Gabby saw a baked potato with butter and sour cream on the menu of one of the restaurants we went to. It wouldn't seem like you would have to explain exactly what you wanted since the menu was this specific.
Gabby got her potato and everything looked great. The potato was on the small side, but there was butter and sour cream in little dishes on the plate. Gabby was so excited to get something that she would like. So, she doctored up her potato with lots of butter and sour cream. It was looking good. Then she took a bite. It wasn't quite right. It tasted kind of sweet.
John said, "Do you think that it isn't sour cream?" So, I dipped my finger in the white stuff and immediately knew that it wasn't sour cream. It was light and fluffy to the touch. I was pretty sure what it was, but I took a taste anyway. Yep, it was whipped cream. Gabby had just made up her baked potato with butter and whipped cream. It could have been worse. At least whipped cream tastes good. We're lucky that it wasn't shaving cream.

Gabby will have lots of stories to tell her friends. We are back at home and imagine you will be starting back soon.
Love, Mom & Dad M.
