Chinese/American Meal

So I had over one of my good friends (a Chinese student) for dinner. I decided to make a semi-American meal so she could taste some western food. I made yellow rice with some veggies cooked with some chicken. I used taco seasoning to cook the chicken. It was definitely yummy, but it was a weird mix between American food and Chinese food. There was rice, but it was yellow. There was a "stir fry" (because they only cook on the stove top in China), but I did not use oil. Now you must understand that Chinese people usually eat communal style, while we selfish Americans like to have our own plates :) So My friend asked for a bowl for her rice. I asked her where she would put her other food, and she said she would just pick it off the dish. I, of course, decided to take a plate and put the rice and the dish together and eat it with a fork. So I ended up pouring the rest of the dish into a large communal bowl just for my friend while I just ate with my fork on the other side of the table. It was a comical experience. We both laughed a lot. We decided it was a picture worthy moment for us both.

As you can see, later that week, Nancy (my teammate) and I decided to show up at Caleb's (another teammate who did not seem excited about Christmas before Thanksgiving) Apartment to remind him that it was officially Christmas time! He did not like the idea of celebrating Christmas "early", so we decided to be the first to bring him a little Christmas Cheer! And don't worry, we actually brought him the Christmas tree for him to use. No red noses, but aren't we cute little reindeer?

"MERRY CHRISTMAS CALEB!!!" and all of y'all from home.
