It’s time for soup
The colors of autumn is the topic of Justin’s show-and-tell this week. And we forgot to prep him. Great parenting Jimmy!
Autumn is the best season in Beijing.
In my 4 years of living in Beijing, autumn is my favorite season.
The weather is comfortably warm and breezy. Perfect weather for al fresco dinning which I think Shanghai lacks compare to Beijing.
I remember one time walking out of the Black Tiger gym after BJJ training and witnessed the most amazing sunset and thought to myself, if Beijing is like this everyday, I would never leave.
But then I left, mostly due to the air but also to get serious about my career. Agency career trajectory in Beijing is limited to say the least.
That was the last time I switched jobs. This time, after 8.5 years, I’m back to the agency where I started.
As the weather is getting cooler now, it is important we stay healthy and not get sick. Which is why I like making soups during cold weather. My favorite last year was chicken with fish maw soup, lots of garlic and ginger.
Today I’m not gonna make that, I made pumpkin soup, to be in-line with Justin’s show and tell theme. I made sure to make a ton of garlic and ginger as well and he did not like it.
In fact, I didn’t enjoy it either, too much ginger but hey, I felt better drinking it.
Then we also made clam chowder, that I enjoyed, in fact I ate the whole pot.
Justin had fun helping as well
Time to teach him to be a live-streamer so daddy can retire early!
Look at Justin, so happy
