Gung Hay Fat Choy 2002!

Every Chinese New Year's Eve, we celebrate it by eating a special meal consisting of several dishes including a cold starter plate, a chicken dish, soup, a fish dish, vegetables (including the "Fat Choy" fungus which has the same pronounciation in Chinese as "Fat Choy" in "Gung Hay Fat Choy" which means happy new year), noodles, fried rice and dessert! And more!

Normally we have it at Barb's parents, but this year because we had a special guest from Hong Kong, we had it at Spicy Court. It was delicious and nice not to have to worry about cleaning up!

Even if you are not Chinese (I'm not but I'm learning), I think it would be nice in mid-winter to get together and share a meal (It doesn't have to be Chinese) with your family. Give it a try! Who knows maybe you will start a new tradition!

Here's a picture of the soup we had tonight.
