Year of the Dragon

Happy Year of the Dragon!

May your year be filled with good health, great wealth, and an abundance of joy & happiness.

And of course, may your dining table always be
surrounded with great company and filled with delicious food.

I apologize for currently not having any food updates. This year started off quite busy and I've had a lot on my plate to handle, especially this past week and in the coming weeks. However, I will (hopefully!) make something soon to share with you all.

Also, it was nice to finally have a little break yesterday to go to the Lunar New Year street festival with my mom and aunt. Lots of hustling and bustling in the beautiful weather.

L to R, T to B: fried fish w/steamed leek; steamed napa cabbage w/ground chicken; braised beef on a bed of lettuce & tomatoes; cold dish of vegetables w/shrimp, 1000 year old egg, chicken (apparently the chicken skin was re-stuffed w/grounded chicken, pâté, and black peppercorns! to which it now looks like cold cuts...), and pickled leeks

and of course, we had to end the day with CORN IN A CUP! :)

I hope everyone also had a wonderful weekend!
