Today is Chinese New Year and the start of the year of the Rabbit! My child will be a rabbit.
New tradition: Now that my sister and I aren't the richest people in the world and can't fly to Hong Kong for Chinese New Year, we decided that every year on Chinese New Year, we are going to eat Chinese food. In reality, both of us probably make some sort of Chinese food ever week anyway, but that is going to be one day each year that is a Chinese food MUST!
PS I know this sounds silly, especially as a "half-breed" and eating it 3 times per week as a child, but I don't know how to make fried rice. Pathetic eh?
As for the "I don't live in poverty" part of my title, there is a reason behind it. John and I made a mistake while we were gone. To make a long story short and to try to keep me from sounding like an idiot, we had no running water in our house this week. Luckily, we have kind neighbors that let us shower at their house. Today, we went down to Utah again for a business trip and came back tonight, turned on the water in our tub, and 10 minutes later, the water started flowing! We have running water!
Now I can do the dishes (in the bathtub) and possibly shower (in ice-cube temperature water). Life is grand ain't it!
As for the rest of the night, Happy New Year!
Kung hey fat Choy to you too! Yep, eating Chinese food on Chinese New Years is indeed a brilliant idea thank-you very much.
ReplyDeleteGlad your water is finally running again. Unfortunately for you though, you will no longer have a good excuse for not doing your dishes!
