This is what kids in China do for fun--crawl in plastic balls in the middle of a river. I wanted to do it too, but apparently I'm too big or something crazy like that. However, I'm 15 lbs. smaller than I was this time three months ago, so maybe in another three months they'll let me play in the ball too.

Tonight, I was supposed to make mashed potatoes to take to dinner at Liz's. You might not realize this, but making mashed potatoes without a KitchenAid, or a beater, or a potato masher is a bit of a challenge. I spent half an hour mashing potatoes with a fork, and then I gave up and used my hands. It was like playing with Play-Doh. My method wasn't perfect, though. They were more like lumped potatoes than mashed potatoes, but it's China--gotta take what you can get.
