Kevin made some cookies the other day. A German neighbor had given us the cookie mix as a gift (English gift, not German gift-- ha ha ha!). We tasted the first batch and realized they weren't very sweet. So Kevin added some sugar to the second batch-- and then threw them all in the trash. Yes, instead of sugar, Kevin had sweetened our cookies with salt.
Ha ha ha! I told our Ayi this story the next day, and after a brief chuckle, she told me, "Well you know, sometimes I have trouble deciphering what's what in your cupboards, too."
What? You mean I'm the only one who can tell the difference between my unmarked Tupperware containers of random white powders?

Ayi and I took a few minutes and labeled all my cooking powders, in English and Chinese, as sort of a celebration of our having lived in China almost a year. Hmm...
I think they look cute now, and Ayi and Kevin are just happy they can tell the difference between salt and sugar (and baking soda, powdered milk, corn starch, baking powder.... okay, I'm surprised no one's throttled me before now).

I love how you keep all of your "white powder" and other things in tupperware! What a great idea.
The containers look great! I'm glad the cookie mix was the English "gift" and not the German one :)
You better Pinterest this! :)
Obviously my google account is old! I didn't know I had any accounts left under "Ms. Floyd"!!
