This was her first time at Guitar Hero...I love playing with beginners, it's the only time I feel like I have any skill.- She never wants to get married or have children. (She decided this before ever leaving Taiwan...I swear it wasn't made after spending a day at our house ;)
- I told her I won't be surprised when I get a wedding invitation and then baby announcement someday.
- She loves to talk.
- I listened to some teenage Taiwanese music, and it was good, even though I couldn't understand any of it.
- She wishes my feet were smaller so she could borrow my shoes.
- Taiwanese children are all naughty. HA! Her words, not mine.
- She is beautiful, inside and out...and today I'm praying that God gives her a glimpse of that today.
- She can cook like none other.
Rebecca preparing, it's a process...I should have paid better attention...
The finished product. Pepper steak with green peppers, cabbage fried with bacon (my kids ate a TON of this...CABBAGE?!?, rice with pork sausage in soy sauce (this was one of my favs), fried eggs with green onion (again, my picky kids couldn't get enough of it) and then the chicken...oh the chicken. She marinated it with garlic and ginger root, green onions and soy sauce and then fried it in oil. Delish.
My kids tried everything, and I seriously could not believe how much they ate and the fact that they liked all of it!
I'm no idiot, I'm pretty sure the fact that Rebecca made it and not me helped them think it could be nothing but delicious.
Having Rebecca here was SO much fun! Thank you Rebecca!
Julie (our exchange student who will be coming August 1st) let me know that she should probably be kept out of the kitchen. She's so sweet, I think she thought I'd be disappointed...but really, it makes me happy because then she's likely to be pleased with my one-dish wonders ;)

I'm sure it was wonderful! One nice thing about one dish wonders.... they don't require as much cleanup!!!
ReplyDeleteIs it wrong that I wished I could have tried her dishes too!?
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful treat A) to have someone else cook the meal and B) have a meal from another country.
And she's HOW old? And never wants to marry or have children? That made me laugh, because with her skills she could have a houseful! Of children not husbands, just one of those.
Isn't it funny how our kids will eat things for others and never what we put in front of them.
I enjoyed this post Sarah. Now pass the chicken and cabbage please.
That is Awesome!! I am glad that you had a great time!!
ReplyDeleteIt made me chuckle that she doesn't ever want to get married or have childern. I had a friend like that now they have both!
What a fun post!!!
ReplyDeleteIf I ever will be able to cook you some Norwegian food, it certainly will not be Fisk head with cabbage to it. My grandmother once gave me that. I've had nightmares ever since...
ReplyDeleteRebecca sounds wonderful. Wish I could meet her
Love Julie

That looks AMAZING - enough to make me want to move to. Or maybe it's just the idea of having somebody cook some awesome food so I don't have to. :)
