Chinese New Year, that is. Happy Year of the Rabbit!
Chinese New Year began on Thursday, and we have spread it out to sufficiently stuff ourselves for an entire week.
On Monday Tim and the kids and I made potstickers to share with friends. Super yum.
On Tuesday I made a beef-broccoli-noodle thing. It was pretty good.
On Friday we went out to a nice Chinese restaurant and had a delicious, and really loooong, meal with another set of friends.
Today we went to a FCC event with Tara and her family, and we did Chinese paper cutting, made paper lanterns, and watched a CNY show. Then we went back to their house and cooked. We made homemade egg rolls, mushu, noodles, and tea eggs. It was all pretty good, but the egg rolls were fabulous. Shout out to Tonggu Momma for her post about CNY recipes and other fun stuff!
I have definitely achieved my one-new-Chinese-recipe-a-year goal this year!
Oh, and if you are wondering where the pictures are for all of this fun, they are a bit lacking this year because I have somehow managed to lose my camera. I can't for the life of me figure out where I have left it. This is par for the course for me. In the last month I have managed to lose my glasses, my wallet, a pair of earrings, my favorite Burt's Bees lip color, and my favorite nail clippers, in addition to the camera. Everything has turned up except for the camera. I am still hoping.
In the meantime, Tara and John took a ton of pictures of today, so maybe they will show up somewhere?

Yeah! I am so glad those links were helpful. I was so proud of myself for venturing further into the world of Chinese cooking this year. Before that, I felt terrified (because of my food allergies and the labels I can't exactly read). So glad you've met your goal. I think I came up with three recipes this year, which was a start anyways.
