Okay, with the deep freeze and the blizzard conditions, Valentine's Day is a bit of a bust. So.... let's look ahead to CHINESE NEW YEAR. This happens to be the Year of the Pig. This year it occurs on February 18th and the year is 4705 on the Chinese Calendar. How, you may ask, is the appropriate way to celebrate? Well, since I'm a long way from Chinatown I have to improvise.
Believe it or not, it is appropriate to CLEAN THE HOUSE to sweep away the bad luck from the past year. So there you go. I'm snow bound so what better time to get rid of bad luck? Laundry is spinning, broom is handy. And for lunch today? Sesame Chicken. (one of those fine new entrees from Lean Cuisine.) Another fun tradition is rubbing honey on the Kitchen God. (pictured above) If he can get here in the big snow today, I'll certainly try to make it worth his time. ;)
