What's For Dinner Mom??

We visited the Night Market this evening.  It is crazy there!!! There is absolutely EVERYTHING for sale on a stick, including snake, starfish, seahorses, silkworm pupa, scorpions, and live beetles of some sort.  If you don't believe me, check out the photos below!!!  After losing our appetites, we carried on to the hutong, a neighbourhood market that is jam packed with everything for sale.  I bargained like crazy and got a few trinkets to bring back home, nothing of any great value, but it was fun to barter and get a good price on things  Over all just a fun evening out.  Everyone of course is so impressed with Grace.  People stop us on the street and babble on and on in Chinese, fussing over her, smiling and playing with her in the stroller.  She's quite a sensation to them and they all want to know if she is Chinese.  That always makes me laugh!!!


Here were our dinner choices tonight....
