    <description><![CDATA[Could it be key to the Chinese ability to eat three oil saturated meals a day and maintain their girlish (or boyish) figures?  No.  Trust us.  Even the fruit salad comes with mayonnaise.  Your western genes weren't made for this diet.  So listen to this Mandarin lesson on eating fruit salad and come prepared with loose pants.   Make peace with your paunch and revel in the Buddha belly noogies given by admiring locals.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Judging from the lesson intro, it seems that fruit salad doesn’t come with mayonnaise in Western countries. I didn’t know that. Mayonnaise is a “magic” dressing material when you want to make food look Western-style, at least at my home in Japan.    

Mayonnaise
沙拉酱 (sha1 la1 jiang4)
色拉酱 (se4 la1 jiang4)
美奶滋 (mei3 nai3 zi1)
美乃滋 (mei3 nai3 zi1)

I don’t know which of the last two is more authentic.

        <description><![CDATA[I got a good idea for a lesson you could pray about doing. 

Maybe it would fit better in a elementary lesson. A lesson that would help you carry on conversations about farming and gardening. For example:  As a question: 

In the past have you grown much grapes? 

Do you lose much of your crops because of bugs or animals? 

When I grew up I had a grape vine in my yard. 

I would like to learn a lot about gardening and growing plants because I love being able to grow my own food.

Maybe I am just dreaming on here. Does anyone else think this would be a good topic in the future?]]></description>
