Tonight while thinking about what to post, cats wandered into my thoughts.

Twins, Cat, Old Twins Picture, Memories, animalsSo, I decided to find some pictures that had cats in them. I like this picture of twins with a cat.

Cat - Feline - Cat Eyes - Tarragon the Cat - KittyWhen I think of cats I think of whiskers. Tarragon definitely had some great whiskers.

Kedma Village, White Cat, Israel, Two Color of EyesHave you ever seen a cat with eyes of two different colors? This is known as heterochromia.

Five Years ago in Shanghai

Posted on January 13, 2021 by vanbraman

I was having trouble coming up with a blog post tonight so thought about what I was doing five years ago. I checked and found out that I had been enjoying some great food in Shanghai, so here are a few pictures from five years ago.

Dumplings, Vinegar, Peppers, Garlic, Cabbage DumplingsChina is one of my favorite places to visit for good food. Here are some delicious dumplings that we enjoyed.

Chinese Noodles, Handmade Noodles, Xian Noodles, Chinese FoodWe visited a Xian Noodle restaurant just down the street from the hotel. They made the noodles right in front of you.

Xian Noodles, Bowl of Noodles, Xian Noodle ShopI really enjoyed the noodles and we ate there more than once that trip and again on future trips.

Unfortunately, I can’t visit the noodle shop on my next trip there as it has since closed and another restaurant has taken their place.

hot pot, students, Class Dinner, Chinese FoodWe had a nice class meal at a hot pot restaurant. We ate some interesting things.

Ox Belly, Hot Pot, Chinese Food, Food TextureThe ox belly had interesting texture as did some of the other items.

Now I am hungry and must have a snack before I sleep 🙂

The trip to Shanghai was actually my second trip that year. The week before I had been in England.

I hope you enjoyed my food memories.
