We didn't do much this weekend. We had breakfast at our usual place Saturday morning. And then I found a grocery store nearby the cafe called "City Shop" and it almost felt like shopping at Kroger's at home. I was able to find most of the ingredients for the recipes that I received from people. And they sell salmon imported from Australia. I haven't been eating fish or any other seafood here, knowing how polluted the waters are in China. And they have a wide range of organic products, including organic milk and eggs. The best part is that it's not too crowded on the weekends like Carrefour is so we don't have to get up early to go before the crowds show up. Sydney is about to be in for a culinary treat -- no more mac n' cheese, no more fried rice with ham, no more spaghetti. We had pan fried salmon with thyme and steamed carrots and green beans for dinner last night. She was falling asleep in her high chair but would not let me get her down because she wanted to continue eating. She was probably afraid that I would eat the rest of it and then she'd have to go back to eating mac n' cheese.
I took Sydney to the Kid's Discovery Museum on Sunday, which was terribly disappointing. There was a play area, which was also lame, but there were other kids there so Sydney wanted to hang out and run around. It only costs US$4 to get in so it was worth it for the hour that we were there.
It has been raining on and off all weekend so we spent the rest of the weekend indoors, putting blocks in a bag and then taking them out, and then putting them back in the bag to take to another room, and then taking them out and them putting them back....you get the idea.
