Barefoot in the....kitchen....

Have I cheesed everyone out on how much I love my husband. Not only does he bring home the bacon, but he cooks it too - well vegetarian bacon anyway. We are starting to cook at home sweet home but after a day of Tai Tai lunches and massages, who has time to cook? Where did this man come from? We spent the day shopping, then took a nap and now it is Saturday night and we are cooking!! I'm his favorite first assistant - you know - so much so I'm in here typing the blog while he is working away. We are making pickles (Will found this fab recipe from Jewish Woman Today magazine - and who better to tell us how to make pickles!). We are making pita/nan bread, Raita (cucumber/yogurt indian sauce), and we, ehm... Will, is making fresh yogurt - but I paid for it. It's technically true. Will almost got paid for the first time today, but after being here for 7 weeks the last day of the month happens to fall on China's "golden week" so the banks are closed for one week. Sigh... So we are living off of my tutoring money.
Gosh this house smells good. I'm going back to help him and then we are 18 hours into season 3 of "24" - Will Jack save the world from the Cordelia virus? Did he *really* kill Nina Meyers - we're *dying* to find out! So here are a few pics of Will picking basil from our fresh basil plant (the rosemary is right next to it), Will chopping a little garlic (hmmmm) and lastly, his barefeet in the kitchen - priceless! I just want to add one final picture - I organized a few ingredients - it wasn't much, but isn't the presentation fabulous!

OMG! We love 24! Keep watching..it really is addicting! Hey are you telling us you're pregnant? ;)
i think Tracy was trying to tell us she convinced Will to have the baby! ha ha!
...and i thought my three "angels" convinced you to wait!
the ingredients to our meal last night was macaroni and cheese.. and to make it gourmet, we added some chicken. we are the envy of the neighborhood.
How lucky you are...having Will cook for you. It looks good and healthy to boot. You are such honeymooners =)
So, now you are tutoring? Wow! You worked out a job fast. Good for you! How do you communicate with the little guy? Are you able to speak much Mandarin - is that the right language?

We'll see how long it takes for us to switch to Ramin Noodles - although since our Ayi is starting next week - we are going to be trying some authentic chinese food shortly.
And I don't really communicate with Calvin - he's 5 and we run around the house (he's 5) - I talk in English which is what his Mom wants - I know a few Mandarin words that I'll repeat and then repeat in English, but hopefully my Chinese lessons will help. I also picked up a few English/Chinese Alphabet/Numbers books to help as well!
