We spent most of my spring break this year in Shanghai.

*pinches self* Yes, that’s true. Wow. Amazing. We are so blessed.

The week was kind of a whirlwind, involving overnight trains and Great Wall hikes and all kinds of culinary…intrigues. But best of all was the time we were able to spend with our good friends Dan and Sylvia and little Grace. On the day before we left, we were ready for some down time, and Sylvia (who is Chinese) asked me if I could teach her how to make pie for Dan (very American). I thought I’d just share a few of my favorite pictures from our baking session with all of you.

I love this last picture because it’s such a perfect image of America in China, apple pie with rosebud tea.
