HAPPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

I know this is not an Ox :P

This year of the Ox, A Series of Kitchen Experiments would like to wish you a happy and pr"ox"perous new year with many returns and luck! Don't let the global economic crisis get you down because there is still the good bountiful earth. Time to rethink how you can plant your own food instead of just relying on grocery stores for your produce. This year, for summer, I am going to think about planting my own tomatoes, runner beans and potatoes - AND create a root cellar(space) for storing gourds, roots and taters!

I am currently soaking up a lot of sunshine and getting a good tan in Malaysia. Things are great here, especially with the food. I have had nasi lemak, roti canai, banana leaf rice with a side of excellent fish, chicken and mutton cooked in veritable spices, yee sang, a 9-course vegetarian meal and many, many more!

Anyway,
Happy Chinese New Year
to all you Chinese foodies out there. May this year be a bountiful and hopeful one regardless of circumstances!

xoxo,
Elaine
