Our Chinese New Year

 

Every year we like to have a family party with the Boulder City folks. Due to very busy schedules it's always a challenge finding a date that everyone is available (this year we missed Lorin and Nancy).  That date this year just happen to fall on the Chinese New Year.  Perfect theme. 

I love doing an event where I pull out all my collected finery 

and really "put-on-the-dog"

 The last minutes stir-frying of the veggies.


 Our Menu:

Egg Rolls (Costco)
A yummy Green salad (Thank you  Pam)

Fried Rice (recipe)

Steamed rice

Chicken Pad Thia (Little Dumplings)

Beef Broccoli  (recipe, I used low sodium soy sauce and chicken broth)

Joseph's Chicken Coconut Curry

Orange Chicken (Winco Deli,  good but not as good as Clark's )

Cheese Cake (with cherry drizzle or Chocolate drizzle)

Frozen Blueberry yogurt for those wanting something lighter

Lighting the candles

The crazy relatives we like to party with.

I love that they always "dress" for the occasion.
