Water Buffalo for Lunch

Yes... I said Water buffalo...

Like I said before..."What will Jim eat next"?

It started out a quiet day in Changxing.

I took a drive with Davids niece and her aunt to a school that I teach at in the country.

I saw a water buffalo on the way.

It was HUGE...Like an SUV!

Davids niece's name is Seven...Like the number "7".

She's teaching me Chinese on the drive to school.

The school is very nice, very modern architecture.

The drive is beautiful except for the factories belching out pollution.


Afterwards Davids wife invited me to lunch...David met us there.

Well...On the menu today:

Some kind of fish with Tofu.

Frogs...Not just the legs like my grandma used to fix back in Florida...The whole frog!

Craw fish...Just like back at dads place in Mississippi.

I'm not quite sure what this is? And they couldn't translate it into English.

Chicken...Feet and all...

And cow stomach...Pass on both.

I had cow stomach at the Hot Pot...Too rubbery!!

I even had some fried eggs. Just like I cook them.

Davids wife gave me a whole bag of eggs so I can cook them back home.

One of my favorites...Egg and tomato soup.

And my favorite today...Water buffalo with rice...(RICE again?)

This is our cook...I don't remember is name but he cooks a MEAN Water buffalo!!

Take care and thanks for dropping by...leave a comment or drop me an e-mail if you get a chance.
