The summer days can be horrific -- heat, humidity, auto exhaust, cigarette smoke, smog, etc. all sitting in the air, not moving.<br /><br />What an amazing adventurer you are! Traveling around China like you do is like an alternate universe to me, but a good one. <br /><br />Hope your trip continues to be as interesting and as culinary a treat as possible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-71896468873333650302013-12-04T22:28:41.582-05:002013-12-04T22:28:41.582-05:00Mmmm….beer…..Mmmm….beer…..Other Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08079055348844157557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-8613926557954721912013-12-04T12:46:22.762-05:002013-12-04T12:46:22.762-05:00CORRECTION: Sorry to jump in on your post, Lisa, ...CORRECTION: Sorry to jump in on your post, Lisa, but I was just informed that I incorrectly announced in my blog post on Saturday, that I'd be speaking in Chicago's National Hellenic Museum tonight.

I am not a beer lover, but I was happy to experience the culinary treats, especially the duck. That's a horrible story about the car crash. It never ceases to astonish and sicken me that people who feel that's a useful way to protest. "We hate the way the government is treating us. Let's go out and kill innocent people and ourselves in the process." Really? And that is supposed to help? UGH! However, just seeing the word "Uighur" brought me back to "Rock Paper Tiger." I loved that book.Annamaria Alfierihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12311596277267789834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-80125221521677454562013-12-04T08:21:23.703-05:002013-12-04T08:21:23.703-05:00Thank you for bringing me home again, Lisa. Well, ...Thank you for bringing me home again, Lisa. Well, sort of. When I was a kid growing up in Pittsburgh I heard tell of air like that during the "war years," But by the 1950s Pittsburgh air was clean even though national jokes persist to this day to the contrary. Never, though, did I ever hear someone speak of Peking duck and mutton kabobs, for the Original Hot Dog and an Iron City beer--and much later the Primanti Brothers fries on your sandwich-- approach to fine dining ruled the city.
