Day 34

September 23, 2010 - Xi'an, Shaanxi Provence, China

Day two of my lock-down. It's raining outside, and cold. I think it might be colder than yesterday, actually.

Today consisted of:
Watching Fringe
Running to the market
Eating at KFC
Watching Fringe
Napping
Watching Fringe

That's about it. I wish the weather were better. I dunno, not a very exciting day to live. Or to read about, I guess.

Incidentally, at KFC I tried a menu item they only offer in China:

Xi'an,China
Tender Beef Pentagon. A beef option at the Chinese KFC. Photo stolen from http://shanghaiscrap.com/.

The packaging claims that the flavor of the beef is "Sichuan," which in Chinese terms seems to mean "Sichuan pepper." Honestly, it's in EVERYthing here. It is amusing, however, that KFC in China essentially sells Crunch Wrap Supremes, and that they're made of beef instead of chicken. Maybe the first Chinese Taco Bell isn't far off. Who knows.

  1. i think tender beef pentagon is a much better name than crunch wrap supreme. i think we should start calling all foods by their shapes
