>Oh my goodness…kids, could you POSSIBLY have missed that Chinese New Year is on its way?? This weekend??? On Valentine’s Day????!
That’s right – our beloved red n’ gold, money-slingin’, noodle eatin’ holiday is on the same day as our OTHER beloved red n’ pink, rose slingin’, chocolate eatin’ holiday. Booyah!
Seeing as it’s such a big week for us, I’ve been thinking all day about how I wanted to share it with y’all. Here’s what I’ve decided: I’m going to keep track of what we do to celebrate, and I’ll stop in periodically to share it with y’all. Sound good?
In the meantime, here’s a fun post I found this morning: Over at Jaden’s Steamy Kitchen, she’s posted a list of what they’re eating for dinner this Saturday. In China, and on New Years especially, foods carry a lot of meaning. Noodles are left long to represent long life, lotus roots are served to represent family unity, and whole fish are served to represent…I’m not sure, but nobody thinks it’s good luck to take a perfectly lovely fish and hack it to bits. That CAN’T mean anything good!
So, head on over to Jaden’s Kitchen, and then pop back in here (or subscribe in a reader) to see how New Years is going to go down this year, LoLo style!
