My Chinese New Years eve dinner was spent at my bf’s place. Despite the snow storm, everyone from his
family showed up. Of course it was play
time for me with the baby. Well except the baby
has now mastered the art of walking (except for stairs). He preferred to do things on his own. He tolerated my camera but rebuffed all my
attempts to pick him up. My bf cooked up
a storm and supplemented the dinner with roast chicken and roast pork from the store.
The abalone with mushrooms was very
good. (ed note: he’s a bit too shy to have the pics of his
food posted here)During dinner, his older nephew went for the drumstick from the chicken but couldn’t find
it. They were now reserved for the younger
nephew and niece. I chuckled out loud at
the “changing of the guard”. For many years, the 2 drumsticks were reserved
for him and his sister. He accepted it
very graciously though. I did notice
afterwards when I went for the roast pork that most of the crispy skin from the
pieces in the dish was missing. It was
just the meat that was left behind. He
gave me a sly grin when I jokingly asked out loud what happened to all the
crispy skin.Just as well, I really need to hit the gym.

Heheheeheheh...crispy skin rocks
I miss spending new years with family...
That is sweet. Catching up on ur blog. The one about your parents listening to classical music over hot tea is really touching
I go for the crispy skin all the time. I think because of my age I win most of the time. That is unless my niece gets to the kitchen to "help" before I do. Love family dinners!!!
