Rounding out our study of China with Egg Drop Soup and Honey Ficken (‘ficken’ = fake chicken).
It’s educational.
Ellie helped cook.
I promise that I’m working on that second mermaid arm. And a Rooster.

A rooster?! Like a big rooster with dangly legs? And a mohawk comb? Oh please say yes!
You read my mind! In this case it’s a regular old “Chicken Chicken Chicken” pattern Rooster. But I’ve been thinking about a giant (Alphabet Animal Size) version for about a year! I almost did that next instead of the Mermaid – but Ellie wanted a mermaid.
I had to giggle about “Ficken.” I’m so happy you post about these vegan food items. My husband is Eastern Orthodox. Several times a year we go on very long fasts. No meat is allowed. After 15 years, I am stinking sick of fish. We were supposed to have a two week fast, but I threw the biggest temper tantrum! My doctor wants me off white carbs, so I can’t eat potatoes, rice, pasta or sugar. So fasting has become a bad word in my vocabulary. I will look for Ficken and Furkey and anything else you can recommend that doesn’t taste fishy and isn’t fried. I’m desperate Em.
Try Gardein! It’s really good – and not in a sad way. You can find it in the freezer section at Publix, and our Wal-Mart even carries a few kinds. Some things are breaded, but most varieties aren’t.
Looks like you guys are having a blast. I love that you framed her first piece of knitting!
That sounds interesting and tasty! Is Ellie eating with her knitting needles? If that is real chopsticks they are cute!
They are real! They are “training chopsticks” – the flamingo on top holds them together.
I had never seen training chopsticks before this and right after I read your reply I saw them on Amazon.com with little bears on them. They came up in my recommendations, isn’t that something? I think it is a real cute idea and good way to learn to use them.
