Happy New Year

My mother and grandmother are wonderful cooks.

Yesterday and today I was summoned home to celebrate the Lunar New Year, and happily ate (and took photos of) my favorites that my mother and grandmother cook.

Among the dishes were nian gao (my absolute favorite!), 

Hong shao shrimp,

Lovely green string beans, that looked so fresh and welcoming,

And more. Needless to say, our dinner table was quite overflowing.

Today, my mom insisted I go back and eat won tons and tang tuan.

If every meal were like this, I would eat way too much to be healthy :)
