Taiwan is a small country, about the size of the state of Maryland. Many things made on this tiny island nation are smaller than their American counterparts.
Apartments (ours is 250 sq. ft.)
Coffee cups (holds 6-8 oz)
Grocery stores (some have only one checkout line)
Washing machines (hold 3 days' worth of clothes)
Restaurant meal portions (remember Cup O' Noodles?)
It even has the Miniatures Museum of Taiwan, dedicated to miniature...everything. Kalan and his class get to take a field trip there on Thursday.
This week, however, we learned learned that not everything is smaller in Taiwan.
"What is that?" you ask? It's a 6-pound beef liver. This is what the butcher gave me after I told him I wanted enough liver for three people. Not bad for $3 US.
Kalan loves liver. Liver is good for babies since it's high in iron. It only took Kalan an hour to cut it, cook it, blend it and freeze it. What a guy.
Speaking of things that are bigger in Taiwan, Keira has hit the 19-pound mark. Hello 12/18-month clothes.
"C'mon mom; liver is great!"
