A Sure-Fire Diet!

It's been too long since I talked with y'all! I went to CHINA the last week of October and while there, I found a fantastic way to lose weight! Now I understand why the people are rather small in China! Mike, Carol Ann, Monica and I took a taxi to the area in Beijing where there are all these food vendors set up selling their yummies. This place was featured during the Olympics on The Today Show. These folks need to come to the Texas State Fair and see how we Americans can pack on the pounds by eating funnel cakes, deep fried snickers, fried banana splits, fried cheesecake. You name it, they dip it in batter and deep fry it! Giddy-up! Anyhow, here are the Chinese versions of "snacks."

A Sample Menu:


Yes, you are seeing what you think you are seeing. Sea Horses on a stick!


We didn't actually see any dog meat.


This guy was telling me this was "Cow Stomach"





Yep, here are the Silk Worms!

Finally some "normal, fresh fruit"


Some sort of a rice dessert..........

Now, this is how we ate. Whew!!! And that's why I didn't lose weight on this trip!
