I was talking to my mom-in-law today and we got on the subject of fish. She has a beta in a bowl. She hates this fish and wishes it was gone. She was telling me how dirty it was and how much she hated cleaning it. As it turns out, she has quite a unique method. Here goes....
She dumps the fish into a little net while she changes the water and cleans the bowl. Well of course you can't put a dirty fish into a clean bowl so she gives the fish a bath too! Asian women are very practical. She rubs him all over with her fingers under the running tap water until he is no longer slimy. Then she dumps him back into the clean water. She said she doesn't think he likes it b/c he goes straight to the bottom and lies down! Imagine that.
She and Honey's g-mother are here visiting for a week or so. We've had a great time. Halmony (the g-mother) hasn't been in the states since 4yo was a baby so she's missed a few years and a couple of babies. She said she wanted to come and stay for awhile so that she could get to know the kids and not just visit them. Isn't that sweet? The kids have enjoyed them both.
I enjoyed watching them on the couch today. Halmony taught MIL to crochet who is now teaching 12 yo. Together she's helped #2 make a purse, a glasses case, and is working on a hacky sack. It was a sweet picture.
Tomorrow we're going shopping for egg roll supplies. YIPEE! You wouldn't believe how incredible good these are. These are real egg rolls. Not the frozen boxed stuff from Sams. We'll make these and dumplings tomorrow and make plenty for the freezer. She also makes a very spicy hot sauce to go with them that no one could ever duplicate. We'll be eatin' good!!
