So... Whats for lunch?

[Lise]

Hi hi! Sorry, had to step away for a bit.

  Really? Getting your teeth extracted this year is bad luck? Never knew that. Funny all these supertition that comes with one's culture. You're more aware of them when you live in Asia though.

  Yay! Finally hung up our CNY decorations. I had to brush away the dust from them but they look fantastic. Lise Jr. had a ball hanging them up.

Awww..how sweet.  

  My mom told me not to get teeth extracted during that week of CNY.  Before or after, we're good to go.  

  I hung up the chinese "fortune" sign on our door early this year.  I had cut it off from the chinese calendar my mom gave me.  Pretty.  

  What's for lunch Lise?

[Lise]

Leftovers in a minute. Tempura fish. Oh crap. Forgot to turn on the rice cooker....

  How about you?

[purelife]

Probably going for some baked chicken and potatoes.  

[Lil Me]

 Hi purelife and Lise!
 
 What cha cooking for CNY, Lise?
 
 Going to your mom's house, purelife?  
   

[Lise]

 Hey Lil Me.

  I'm making crabs in tomatoe chilli sauce, vegetarian noodles for long life, BBQ duck (buying, not making)... skipping out on the spring rolls - too lazy or I might just buy them already made.

  How about you? Doing anything special?

  Did you make the baked chicken, purelife?[/DIV]

[Lil Me]

My whole fam is going out Sat night.
 
 Sunday night, we've got the annual Scouts potluck dinner for Baden-Powell week.
   

[Lise]

Ah..... that's so nice you guys are going out. My family here won't understand nor appreciate CNY reunion dinner.

  Be sure to have lots of roast piggies on my behalf.

Hi there Lise, PL and Lil Jon!
I guess you all survived V Day!
I have a bunch of cheese, crackers and pate left over and maybe that will be lunch?
Haven't decided yet.
 

[Lil Me]

Hi!  I just ate some leftovers, too.  (pasta from last night) with avocadoes and reheated coffee.  

[tenkani]

Sounds good!!
Have you noticed how quickly avacados turn brown when you slice them open and try to save some for later?
Someone told me if you sprinkle some lemon juice on them they will keep longer.
But that might be a fairy tale.
Speaking of which I saw Pan's Labyrinth last night OMG    :O
 

[Sportsdude]

you saw that movie tenk? Is it good? I'm thinking of seeing it this weekend.  

[tenkani]

I think each person will react differently.
It is an adult fairy tale.
It is grim and bleak and absolutely beautiful
Do NOT take children to this film.
 

[Sportsdude]

cool.  

[Lise]

I've heard about that movie. I think it's been nominated for a whole bunch of awards at the Cannes Festival. Must be terrific and yeah, I don't believe this film is for children.
