Silver linings

Remember how much I hate saying goodbye?  Well, just like all things in life, goodbyes have silver linings.  Like how Xu FINALLY taught me how to make pão chinês (Chinese steamed bread), which has been one of my favorite things since I lived in China.  It is SO GOOD.  

Anyway, I asked him like the first week here if he could teach me how to make it, and he said yes.  But then we just never got around to it.

On Monday though, since I was leaving, it was a perfect excuse to make time.  So at 6:30 in the morning, he taught me how to make this wonderful food:

I don't know what it is that makes it so delicious; it's just white rolls that are steamed instead of baked.  They're super easy to make, and now I know how!  They are so good...

Yep, that's a silver lining :)
