RE: Chestnuts Creating Community

in #ecotrain7 years ago

It must be chestnut season! One of my EAL girls (Hong Kong) came in with a bag the other day. 'What are you eating, Avril?' I ask (because I'm not the kind of teacher that says: 'don't eat in class'!!) and it was a big bag of chestnuts. She was waxing lyrical about them - she'd been in Melbourne city and there was a woman selling chestnuts and she was sooooo excited and the woman realised that and gave her extra. It reminded her of home. Bless.

Sort:  

Chestnut season is just starting here in Northern Thailand an yes, they're all over Southern China. NOT that Hong Kong is vaguely part of China LOL.... They're delish and pivotal in so much Cantonese cuisine. GLORIOUS huge trees!!
