We got together tonight with some friends to celebrate Chinese New Year.
Now, to be honest, I'm pretty much what you would call a "banana." I know way too little about the actual holiday, or about Chinese history and heritage in general.
I do however, know and appreciate a good Chinese dinner.
Katie and I made some New Year treats during quiet time.
No these aren't traditional Chinese fare. They are just sugar cookies with what I think is a symbol for "spring."I found a tutorial here.
We used an entire bottle of red dye and the icing still looked bubble gum pink.
My characters generally looked more like fleur-de-Lis, especially the first half dozen or so.
But, they tasted yummy and our friends seemed to enjoy them.
Happy Chinese New Year!
