(posted by Stephanie) According to Adam, next time he's invited to a casual game of charades, he's going to rule! Getting a lot of practice in demonstrating American recipes to his Chinese cooking staff. He said that he spent 45 minutes one day trying to explain that cornmeal was flour made out of corn, not flour with pieces of corn in it (I think he was trying to cook corndogs for the athletes.) Imagine how complicated lasagna would be to chefs not familiar with Italian cooking!
Despite 15 hour days, he's having the time of his life. The athletes are incredibly grateful for what he's doing for them, and he is truly thrilled to be spending so much time with world class athletes and their coaches. Apparently, quite a few of them are mentioning the great food at Dalian in their own blogs.
Although Adam has moved into a room with better Internet access a few days ago, he's working such long hours that he doesn't have energy to blog or download pix. Things might calm down a little later in the week as the athletes start leaving to go to Beijing for the opening ceremonies and their competitions. We're hoping to score some tickets to events in Beijing when I've joined Adam there.
