Can you read the only English on this bag of brown sugar? It says, "A woman in childbirth brown sugar". I thought for sure it must be another one of the many hilarious mistranslations we've seen, but when I asked my Mandarin teacher about it, and she read the Chinese characters, she said that this brown sugar must have extra minerals that make it healthier for pregnant women.
Really? I have to say I'm skeptical.
On a side note, I used the brown sugar to make gingersnaps last week, and it worked just fine.
Enjoyed visiting with your dad on his brief visit in Phoenix last night. Was so good to see him and spend a little snipit of time with him. Am missing you all and pray that you have a blessed visit when you come to the states, and a wonderful Christmastime! Love you!
