Something Sweet

I must have some sweet Western blood in me because the mosquitos here just seem to latch onto me.  Yesterday afternoon (4pm) I went for a run outside (Yes, I know it was a mad idea to think about that in the heat, with the air quality, etc., etc., I thought of every excuse but went anyway) and well 3.5 miles later I came home with arms, fingers and legs full of bites!!!

 Yep, even managed to get bit on my knuckle!?!?!?!  That one hurts the most.

 And the other elbow.

I'm a Wisconsin girl and I've spent plenty of summers in the U.P. which in turn means I have had tons of mosquito bites, and never, ever, have I had a reaction that I can remember like I have had here in China.  I certainly didn't think that in the middle of the afternoon especially while running there would be mosquitos chasing me.

Today's adventure involved picking up bug spray!   I went with the Raid since I know the Johnson's brand vs the off shoot Chinese brand.  We'll see if this helps at all with future bites.   

I also decided that since I was out I should pick up something sweet and actually try baking in my oven today.   BROWNIES!   So far they look like have turned out, I'm just not sure how they taste yet!
