Yummy

There are a few things that we love eating here that you can't get in the US. Our favorite veggie lately is the stem of the lettuce plant (I don't know the name of it in English). Since it's kind of a hassle to prepare (lots of peeling involved), we usually don't make it ourselves. But we often order it at a restaurant or have our house helper cook it for us about once a week. It is soooo yummy! Come visit us...we'll feed it to you!

Here's a picture we took awhile back of what it looks like when you buy it from the market:



Here's the dish we ate for lunch today, stir-fried with garlic and served with pork, and ready to eat!
