Lamb Fajitas & Chinese Mashed Potatoes

A word from Grandpa Laban about the food here in Linxia.....

I really like most of the local food. It can be rather spicy and sometimes pretty hot. The first picture is lamb, bell peppers, tomatoes, and other spices. We thought it was like having lamb fajitas.... all we needed was the tortillas and guacamole. The second picture is what they call Chinese mashed potatoes. Believe it or not there are mashed potatoes under all that other stuff.

Of course you can get Muslim soup anywhere, anytime..... noodles of all shapes and sizes, some a half meter long. You have to put your head over the bowl and slurp it up with the chopsticks. Most of the time it is easier and cheaper to eat out. There are many restaurants. The four of us can eat a 5 course meal for about $6.00 US total. Often it takes a little time to adjust to the food as Susie and I both are having a little problem with the big "D" or should we say M A O's Revenge. By the way, in Linxia there are no McD's, BK's, PHut's, or Tex-Mex although we did find some fried chicken yesterday that was pretty good. More @ a later time....
