24、earch on the Internet. Always ask yourself, “Is this reliable?” Dont make the mistake of believing everything you see. Some websites are unreliable and some information is false.

28、s into a big bowl. “Eat this tomorrow after Im gone, you lazy bee,” she teased, dismissing the piles of books, clothes and electronics across the table waiting to be packed into her luggage.

29、lack the patience to peel them properly. Mom doesnt have the patience either, except when it comes to feeding me. Her hands moved gently and swiftly, while her eyes looked carefully at the small watery little seeds, attentively trying not to crush(压碎) them. When I woke up the next day and opened the

30、 fridge. Sure enough, waiting for me was a clear jar of perfect smooth and shiny pomegranate seeds.

31、s, rice puddings, sesame filled sweet dumplings and many other sweets I struggle to find English translations for. I love watching her turn the loose white flour into moon-shaped dumplings magically, and place them neatly into a tray. Whenever its time to say goodbye, mom would never say that she mi

32、sses me, or that she loves me. Instead, shell just say: “dont starve yourself while Im not with you”. Thats because she belongs to a generation where food is an expression of love.

In her generation, people would greet each other saying “Have you eaten?” We dont do that in China anymore, but I still look forward to the tradition of my whole family gathering together to prepare food across a big kitchen

34、table at special occasions, such as the Chinese New Year. Such sweet childhood memories have stayed with me. Its funny that living in the super health-conscious city of London has taught me to think about food in terms of calories and carb content. Well, moms home-made dumplings dont have any food l
