Happy Chinese New Year's Eve!

'Tis the day to clean your homes, and prepare your feasts!

Because MM has just come off an overnight shift, we will be playing the night pretty low key. For dinner I will be trying my hand at a couple Chinese dishes, of course, most with symbolic meanings.

Among them:
Noodles (for longevity)
Fish (for wealth/abundance)
Dumplings (for wealth)
Turnip cake (because I love it)
Egg tarts (just because)

Luckily, I did most of the cleaning earlier this week, because this dinner sounds like it will take a while.

Hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful Chinese New Year's Eve! Tomorrow it will be the Year of the Rabbit (my sister's year)!
