Hi! I’m back from Beijing safe and sound Of course one of the first things I did when I got back was eat a couple of Diddy Riese cookies.

The cookies in China aren’t the same Good thing I packed a pack of Pepperidge Farm cookies in my suitcase, otherwise would have gone on withdrawal again.

On my last day there, we went to a tea house where we did get some cookies:
The cookie on the upper left is my favorite. It’s called “Pear shaped cookie” and (while tasting nothing like a pear, just kind of looking like one) it tasted really good! Those of you who know me will know that I really like crusts. I forgot what was inside, but the outside was soft and slightly crumbly, and very sweet. The one under it is a flower-shaped cookie with ..jujubi? in it. I just pretended it was chocolate. It wasn’t a very good chocolate cookie though. The one on the right is a taro with green tea cookie. I hate taro, so I didn’t try this one, although everyone else at the table said it was really good.

happy eats everyone!
