Gong Hey Fat Choy! Chuc Mung Nam Moi!

Happy New Year!  We welcomed the year of the dragon in full style! 


I cooked up a delicious Vietnamese and Chinese feast!  We had spring rolls, dumplings and potstickers; chow mein, orange and mandarin chicken.  And fortune cookies of course! Yum!

Yep, it was a lot of work navigating my way through all those complicated Chinese recipes the Panda Express drive-up window! 

For the record, I did actually get out of my car to buy the Vietnamese food. 

The evening included red envelopes filled with money and chocolate coins,




reading our favorite books on Tet and Chinese New Year,


and eating moon cakes (white lotus seed and red bean)! 


Happy New Year!  The Year of the Dragon is said to be extra lucky!  It will be!  I can feel it!
