Break Fast

One of the sucky things about not having eaten for three days is it's really hard to start again. My stomach revolts at most Chinese food as just too greasy. I even had trouble with steam buns this morning, which is not a good sign. Further, the act of eating at all is slightly repulsive to me at this point. Nothing has flavor.

I did get down a third of a plate of meat-strip chaomian and a bowl of broth tonight. Probably not the best idea. We'll see how I manage it.

Rice and steam vegetables maybe?

Or try jook (rice soup). It's heavy, but definitely not greasy.

It's called zhou in Mandarin (jo) and I can't find it anywhere in Nanjing! I think I need to get out of the tourist districts or something.
