A Chinese New Year Weekend

Are you celebrating The Chinese New Year?

According to Wiki the Chinese New Year is February 18th this year and it's the Year of the Boar - I hope it's not a bore though!

To finish off the Birthday Extravaganza, The Boyfriend and I are taking a cooking class at Sur La Table on Friday evening, it's actually a hands on class so I think that we'll be forced to eat what we make. I promise that I'll wash my hands before we begin. The class is celebrating Chinese New Years so we're going to make all kinds of chinese foods - be ready for me to recreate the menu for you when you stop by for a visit!

Then on Saturday it's our Annual Dim Sum Outing!

I'll have to plan this better next year because I really had no idea that it was Chinese New Year when I planned it, I hope it's not too crazy in China town...but then isn't it always better to go visit someplace when it's really hopping!

I promise you that I will order - and eat - some of those chicken feet....I'll even get one of my friends to try it, I have an idea of who I think will join me in that little event!

So what are you doing for Chinese New Year? Interested in Chinese Astrology - check it out HERE

Every year I try to organize a little trip to Dim Sum - in the middle of winter. This weekend we're doing it again, we have a blast eating gross food and watching people eat gross food.

Typically we have a lot of different things, but we sorta stay within limits, you know like the bbq pork buns are to die for, they're my favorite of everything. Then's there the dumplings and the rice balls and egg rolls, tofu, shrimp balls and seafood dumplings...oh yum.

I think that I'm going to get and eat the chicken feet*(**)....have you ever eaten them?
