What would you do if your refuge disappeared, if your stress reliever turned to DUST!?
... or more accurately, turned to CHICKEN FEET and Crusty fish?!?!?!
Eating is more than just a means for me to get nourishment
It is a stress reliever, a form of therapy, a friend.
Luckily these feelings are commonly shared particularly between Noelle, Kirsten and I.

We devised a plan:
We would take a trip to town,
A trip to town dedicated to stuffing our American faces, happily and shamelessly!
The execution went off without a hitch!
..... Except that Kirsten was WAY sick and stayed home:( .....
Along with our hunger for anything fried, we also hungered to go to new parts of town.
We followed the silhouette of a tower in the skyline to a beautiful temple garden!

It was super cool!
BUT IT'S NOT WHY WE WENT TO TOWN!
STAY FOCUSED!
We went further into town and the feast began with Pizza from PizzaHut!YAY! PIZZA makes me feel at home! They even had one little dinky Easter decor outside. SO FESTIVE! We also ordered a salad because we are constantly Jones-ing for fresh veggies. We ordered ranch and were given something that resembled mayonnaise ... despite the interesting dressing (which wasn't bad) we still INHALED the food so fast I couldn't think to take a picture! But you know what Pizza looks like... If you forgot go out and get some... please... do it for me...
We wanted bugers but couldn't find the McDonalds... In fact we aren't even positive if there is one in Fuzhou... We may have been thinking Nanchang. So we stopped in at our favorite little bakery, HappyCake! We got doughnut type things, egg-y custard tarts, "sandwiches" and "Egg-pizzas" that are really weird but still good and Pudding!
Next we hunted down a street food cart we had bought thick tortilla-like bread with sauce, sesame seeds and green onions.They are DELICIOUS and we had to have them! THE GOD OF FOOD SMILED DOWN ON US! That's right! WE FOUND the little cart we had passed at least 2 weeks before. We had a miscalculation and bought triple the amount we meant to... but no one cried over it.
Although we realized we were not going to be able to locate a McDonalds, We OBVIOUSLY still NEEDED fries. We stopped in at good old KFC. Frenchies were hot and yummy smothered in ketchup! To top it all off we threw in fudge sundaes (though technically Noelle and Garth got Strawberry).
Even though good food takes a 45 minute bus ride... it was all worth it.
Hopefully this can become a regular thing...
Oh food... I love you.
remember our pizza best friend necklace?... i do.
