I was born in the year of the pig. Oink, oink!
A true Chinese New Year celebration is quite fun and enjoyable. I've lived in Taiwan in the past, and have had the great fortune of celebrating Chinese New Year there and in the US with Chinese friends. I love the foods and the festivities. Where I recently moved to will not allow me as easy of an access to certain Chinese or other Asian groceries. I might have to order them online or finally get my husband to go to China with me, in the future. I do know how to cook many traditional foods.
新年快乐! [Happy New Year!]
