Post Holidays..

Hope everyone had a great chinese new years!  I spent it with my uhm..friend's family...played Mahjong, Cantonese style...and cooking...yes, me cooking...I actually love to cook, something even my friends find it hard to believe, until they see it and taste it...   I'm actually not bad of a cook ...I guess it must be a little hereditary.  My grandfather and dad are fom Sichuan and they both cook really well, so I somehow have a knack for it...

Anyways, cooked Taiwanese "Cao Mi Fen", made my vesion of a  few new salad creations like scallop pomelo salad, stewed a lovely broth for hotpot,  also I made dessert like rice krispies but added different nuts and white chocolate chips...and brownies...and cookies...well needless to say, I'm fat once more!!!  Gained 2 kgs...it's so painful to lose especially when the years tack on but at the moment of eating it seems so worth it...

I cooked from new years, through Valentine's, and my b-day as well....it made me realize that I am looking forward to being a homemaker down the road...  Now just gotta wait for someone to propose...

So, would love to hear any interesting new years story if anyone wants to share...

I attached a photo of hotpot day as requested...it was only taken cuz one of the guests didn't show up so wanted to show her...u can see I made a salad, it was with apple and avocado...pretty yummy...as for CNY,  I was slavin' away in the kitchen so unfortunately no proof...haha...next time
