Lovely #wysteria #bonzai plants in the Humble Administrator’s Garden in #Suzhou – So pretty! 🌼
#travel

Wwwwoah! 🙂🙃The #hotel 🛌 is so nice! Concierge, private entrance to the city protected #garden, indoor & outdoor #pool, #breakfast on the patio – everything in classical style #Chinese #architecture. I’m officially lost – I don’t think I remember the way to the hotel entrance we took so many twists in here. Balinisian massage – multiple restaurants, opera and tea shows! Wow! I picked it cause it was closer to the subway 😂😜 Lucky me!




Ready, Set, Jet! 💺🗺 Happy #Qingming Festival (Tomb-Sweeping)🏮 to everyone! Off to #Shanghai & #Suzhou for a few days!🛫 🏙 🛬
Exciting!

😜😝 SUPER friendly train (or creepy – depends on how you view it).
I don’t think people would like it if I pet them, but maybe it’s a new social strategy – whatcha think???

Made a delicious and pretty #meatloaf from scratch!
2.5 pound Homemade hamburger (we shredded the #beef ourselves cause hamburger isn’t always available in China)
+ 1/2 head of #garlic (never can have too much garlic!)
+3 eggs
+2 Green Peppers
+1 Onion
+3 TBSP Wostershire Sauce
+1 TBSP Liquid Smoke
+1/2 Cup #BBQ sauce
+2TBSP Honey Dijon Mustard
+1/2 Cup Cream
+1.5ish cups #Oatmeal (till it held shape but still wet).
Random salt & pepper
+4 small tomatoes sliced into 4 pieces.
Throw everything except oatmeal & tomatoes into a big bowl. Mix together with a spoon or fork.
Add oatmeal – mix again.
Take a large #castiron skillet and smooth it out. It shouldn’t be more than 2inches thick or it doesn’t cookas fast. Not less than 1inch thick or it dries out.
Cooking = Easy! Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil (keeps it from being dry).
Oven on 425 (190C) and give it 45minutes. Check. If done, you’re good. If not, maybe keep adding 15 minutes then check until it is done.
It was a big hit! 😃 Easy for #beginner cooking

Which one is YOUR next favorite snack?!? Duck Gizzard? Neck? Claws? These were in the ‘meat snack’ aisle 😝 Sure to be a crowd favorite at the next #Easter carry-in #potluck at church!
