I skipped lunch today (Friday… I know, your mind is blown, as you’re probably reading this on Thursday evening) knowing that I had an all-natural energy bar “made with organic oats and soybeans”. I was actually pretty excited about this Clif bar that I got from Trader Joe’s because its flavor was Chocolate Brownie (package pictured at right). I brought four such bars to China with me. Two Chocolate Brownie and two Honey Banana Nut Bread. I had one of the banana nut bread bars the first morning here when I had a light breakfast. It was actually very good and reminded me of my own banana bread, which I haven’t made in forever and I’ve wanted to… it’s just that I don’t have a copy of the recipe, nor do I have any bread pans, but that is besides the point. I was impressed with my first exploit into the realm of Clif Energy Bars (the company’s website here). I had actually intentionally not eaten the Chocolate Brownie flavor anticipating that it would be the more delicious of the bunch and wanted to save it for a special occasion such as today. I never expected what I was going to actually find when I opened the package…
It looks like a straight-up turd. Okay, so it was really delicious but it looks like corn-nugget filled poop. I’m sorry, but it does. Look at it!

Loving your blog! Sounds like you are having quite an adventure! I hope you have some food you like soon. It’s hilarious that the Chinese are attempting to drink you under the table and or break you with spiciness. Love you!
