My husband and I go to his grandmother's house for dinner almost weekly. She always prepares several elaborate, delicious dishes for us, and we always leave with leftovers. Unfortunately, Grandma doesn't speak very much English, and I don't speak Mandarin, so it's hard for me to express my gratitude for these excellent dinners in words. I've learned the Mandarin word for "thank you", but it never seems like enough.
This week, I decided I was going to bake something for Grandma. She doesn't bake herself, and she usually seems to like the things I make for her.
