Celebrate Chinese Language Day & Pineapple Upside Down Cake Day & Lima Bean Respect Day.
We think of China frequently because we have family living there. That's why Chinese Language Day made it on my calendar. It's amazing to hear my family from overseas speak Chinese as fluently as they speak English. It's a very difficult language to learn; an inflection can change the whole word. Several years ago, Katherine liked to pretend that she spoke Chinese and would just talk gibberish, very convincingly.
SPD (aka stockpilingmoms.com) has an Easy Pineapple Upside Down Cake recipe to try. The cake looks like it takes more time and effort than it actually does. Which means it looks impressive when you serve it, right?
It's also Lima Bean Respect Day - a day to give some respect to the lowly, unloved lima bean. (At least, it's unloved by my children.) But it should be respected just like the black bean and kidney bean (which are loved in my family).
Genesis 11:9 That is why it was called Babel - because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
