Some pics
This is a bit late…
Over the holidays, hotpot at a friend’s place
shrimp, crab, salmon & scallops
I think this is lamb or maybe it was pork?
mushrooms, veggies, tofu
Chinese / Lunar New Year:
This is the temple that J and I go to every year. It was jammed and very hot in there and I didn’t take a lot of pictures. I couldn’t even move.
In the last couple of years, they had a wishing tree. This year, they had the wishes hung up against the wall.
I can’t believe we’re about to head into March soon. 2013 seems to be moving so fast.

Wait the time goes more quickly as you get older

I’ve never done the hot pot thing, believe it or not. Somehow it wasn’t a big thing in our lives, I wonder if it has to do with exactly where your family or you’re from. I like the custom, though, especially the thing at the end where you make a shared broth out of everyone’s dipping sauces. Health departments would probably look down on that nowdays in a restaurant.
Great food pics … well except the seafood since I’m allergic to it
I love hotpot!
I enjoy hotpot.
I love hotpot! Hope your wishes came true during the Snake Year. Did we just catch a glimpse of J’s hand?
Gong hei fat choi!
Hope all your wishes come true and you have a very good year Matt.
Could never get sick of hotpot! Best comfort food ever haha. Pretty pics from your temple btw.
Yummy!”"2013 is really moving so fast”"
@Fatcat723 - it’s going by so fast now. I really want to slow it down.
@n_e_i_l - I didn’t realize you make a broth out of everyone’s dipping sauces – that’s interesting.
@kachino - I bet it makes your throat swell / itch or both. My dad is allergic to shellfish.
@hilabpartnerxD - me too, it’s simple and no one needs to be in the kitchen for ages.
@ElusiveWords - Exactly! The lips also swell up.
Oh, hot pot – haven’t been for that in a long while. Maybe I should convince Tawn to go there this week. Problem is, he hates to smell like his food afterwards.
@ElusiveWords - That’s one thing I’ve heard. It looks like what you do with the broth at the end varies …
@stevew918 - we should do hotpot sometime.
@CurryPuffy - no, that is not J’s hand. It was someone volunteering there. I hope both you and W will have a happy and healthy year.
@CareyGLY - Happy New Year to you too Carey!
@ZSA_MD - thank you Zakiah!
@xx_smilez - I always stuff myself silly from hotpot and thank you for the compliment.
@xxMissforbiddenfruitxx - I need to slow down 2013… I have no idea why it’s in such a hurry.
@christao408 - I feel the same way w/ Korean BBQ, all my clothes pick up the aroma.
@ElusiveWords – me too but I love this year. Full of blessings and surprises
that’s definitely pork. ps: i really like that last pic.
I’m hungry now…. Hot pot instantly reminds me of family. I’m glad my parents have a hot pot every CNY eve. Makes me happy just thinking about it.
And by golly gosh, you’re right, it is almost March!
