Good facts Jo-Anne.
No rain here, driest July on record, but yes, it's August now, still dry.
Dearest Jo-Anne,
ReplyDeleteMost of those Chinese dishes outside of China are not authentic and have been altered to the taste of the locals.
Honey is a pure and natural substance so I'm not surprised about that!
Hope the rain will stop.
We got rain and thunderstorms all week in the forecast so that is not good for planning anything.
Hugs,
Mariette
I worked in a Chinese restaurant when I was in high school and none of what the chefs and owners ate is anything I've ever seen on a menu in an American Chinese restaurant.
