Happy New Year!


That is Chinese New Year of the Horse!


The above banquet/Smorgasbord/yànxí is in celebration!  

Again we received THREE,as you can see,3, fortune cookies:

"Never does nature say one thing and wisdom another."  Words to live by.  

"Just because you put tap shoes on an elephant does not mean it can dance."Oh so true.  

"Knowledge and not doing are equal to not knowing at all." My personal favorite.

Hubby is an OX on their Chinese calendar.
I am a tiger as so many of my school chums are. Below is the chart for you to see who you are just for fun!



"The Chinese New Year Calendar - With Its Associated 12 Animals

The lunar Chinese New Year (CNY) calendar below shows which of 12 animals you are!  Naturally the animal depends on the year in which you were born.  Note: if you were born in January or February you need to check if your birthday was before or after the date of that Chinese New Year. (If it was before this day your animal is the one shown for the previous year)."

PS: I am not Chinese, but as I understand my Jewish heritage has made me a big lover of anything in the respect of enjoying that cuisine on all special occasions real and made up. And I follow that dietary law as strictly as possible. BIG SMILE HERE!
