Happy Year of the Ox!

Happy Year of the Ox! (I need to get this out before the Year of the Tiger sneaks upon us...)

The 2007 Lunar New Year post where I mentioned that I loved how banks in California offered red money envelopes.

  2. ABC,
    2010 is the year of the tiger. It doesn't start until February. Hence why I said I wanted to get this post up before the year of the tiger begins.

  4. ABC,
    Ha! Since I'm about a year behind in my blog posts, the confusion is understandable. :P

Thank you for stopping by. I try to respond in a timely manner, but am not always able to do so. I do read every comment, however, and eventually respond to each and every one. If you're awaiting a response, check the post in which the comment is made or click the "Subscribe by email" option.

If you're not a blogger and you'd like to leave a comment, you can do so using your Google/Gmail account. I believe the act of signing off with a name, real or made up, makes people more accountable for what they say. Plus, I plain old dislike not knowing who said what, no matter how innocuous the comment. Therefore, all "anonymous" or "unknown" comments will be deleted, regardless of content. If you made one of my recipes and wish to be linked or want to share something with me, then please email me the info instead. Because of repeated Spam, all comments with links will be deleted, regardless of content.

I welcome questions, discussions, and feedback, but please be mindful that this is my home online. It has always been just me cooking, photographing, writing, and editing everything. This is not my full-time job. My blog is my happy place; I reserve the right to delete any comment that is anonymous, offensive, or promotional. Thank you for reading!
