In Chinese Astrology the year 2020 celebrates the Rat; they are intelligent, adaptable, ve quick-wit, charming and gregarious people. I myself am a Tiger ( yep born leader over here) so I need to wait till 2022 for my year to come around again. In the meanwhile, let’s celebrate the Chinese NY with some good food.
I have GREAT friends! Not only because they are there for me, in good, crazy, hilarious moments but also when I cry, am sick or need a hug. AND they bring me great stuff from far away places like China (Txs for the bowls Laurence!)
I absolutely LOVE these blue bowls – aren’t they just GORG – and with a little transatlantic brainstorming with my friend William in NYC – voila my Chinese New year celebration homage – Beef Noodle Soup.
