Tomorrow starts Chinese New Year. This starts the year of the Ox. It is a very big holiday in China and Taiwan. We are celebrating it with our dear neighborhood friends today. This will be our 2nd annual celebration. Last year it was at Michelle's, this year at Joanne's. We all make a main course dish and bring it. I am making the same as last year. Bokchoy with shrimp.. my family loves this and I make it during the year. I am also trying a new recipe. It is a Taiwanese dessert that has been modified by a Taiwanese American.If it comes out good, I will post the recipe and the source. It stems from shaved ice desserts served in Taiwan. In the American version it is made more like a Trifle.
This is a special CHINESE NEW YEAR... Our friends Melissa and Brian will be traveling in 2 weeks to go get Owen from China. We have our referral of beautiful Min Shan from Taiwan..... It is exactly one year ago today, that we were officially waiting with our Taiwan agency (JOH) for our daughter. Back then I could not imagine that this moment would finally arrive, one in which we would see her face. Next year, we will all have our children and it will be an especially joyous occasion.
I will post picts later this week.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
