Bringing In The New Year With Food!

I love New Year's Eve!  A chance to stay up late with the whole family!  A feeling of hope, combined with love and laughter. 

And hot chocolate and candy canes of course!

We watched the movie Julia & Julia (the quintessential movie for foodies and bloggers), which combined perfectly with Lan Lan's desire to cook Chinese food. 

"Long Life Noodles" from a book we found at our local library, The Young Chef's Chinese Cookbook.  The family review gave it a 5-star rating.  Yum!

Happy New Year!  May 2013 be filled with family, friends, faith, and FOOD!
