THAT time of the year again...so soon..??! (This is me, still not over the fact that 2008 is off and gone..)
The lunar new year is yet again a cool, cloudy and extremely wet affair. It is the Chinese New Year eve today and along with dodging the heavy rain that's steadily pounding against the windows, the morning was spent throwing out more stuff we've been hoarding for years, vacuuming the house and making a vegetable and meat broth for our annual new year eve's steamboat tonight. At least the weather is giving us a free auto-cleaning service for the outside of the house.
As a form of respect for Grandma's passing late last year, we are not celebrating Chinese New Year this year, so no decking of the house in shades of red or having a jolly good time. But hubby and I will still have our little intimate steamboat for two. To all my readers of this blog, Chinese or otherwise; wishing everyone a happy and prosperous year of the Golden Ox.
Gong Xi Fa Cai!
