I had a small get together with some friends for Christmas. I served Indian food, I made some and I also ordered some from an Indian restaurant near by. The white rice has some tadik pieces on top. Tadik is fried pita bread that placed at the bottom of the pan with olive oil and partly cooked rice is poured on top and cooked. When done, this is what it looks like.

Lunar date December 30th (À°ÔÂÈýÊ®¡ªl¨¤ yu¨¨ s¨¡n sh¨ª) Solar (Gregorian) date February 4th, 2019 Activities & traditions The reunion dinner, the most important meal of the year, takes place on this day. After dinner, the children will receive red envelopes. The family will then stay up late and wait for the New Year (ÊØËê¡ªsh¨¯u su¨¬).

Because of logistics, I wasn't able to pick up any fresh or frozen foods but had a good time looking at the beef pizzle, pork bungs, duck tongues, etc. I did pick nice red paper and hideous gelatinous rice cake fish :o
T tikiskip Grand Member (8 years) Joined: Nov 26, 2005 Posts: 5994	T tikiskip Posted posted on Thu, Jan 17, 2019 8:41 AM We know this girl from China and she brings me Chinese cut paper, they hang these in the windows. They cut them by hand! Watch this to see true skill and artistry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQMwH6y1nus Red and Yellow are two of the colors for this new year, like is that not always the colors? I wish they could or at least would not act like they don't understand what Americans say when we go into their stores. Have been told that many of the people that say "I don't understand English" can understand what you are saying they just don't want to bother. The foreign students at OSU were the best, so interesting to hear of their lives where they lived. Plus they would shriek "mr. John" when they saw me how can you not love that. Am going this weekend, the decs you got are cool. Going to make Lobster Bisk if I find good lobsters. [ Edited by: tikiskip 2019-01-17 08:43 ]

Thursday we had our Daughter's requested B-Day Dinner. I got a local piece of Lamb (17.00 a lb, thought it was 2 racks-$80.00, but it was a large untrimmed rack-talked to them and got a 35.00 gift card) from Cedar Creek Meat Market and butchered it down to a Rack-Garlic and Dijon crusted, and we had it with Roasted Asparagus and my Wife's bodacious Baked Stuffed Potatoes. BTW, Skip, Yes, I have a great new therapist and am starting to use a cane...slow but sure. Thanks.
