My friend Crystal invited friends over to celebrate the Chinese New Year. She is Chinese and she made a wonderful dinner of authentic Chinese dishes and desserts. It was more than she prepared at Thanksgiving and it was all delicious!!! Her dishes included dumplings, pork lo mein, vegetables, sticky rice
, steamed rice cupcakes, Chinese egg custard tarts, and a traditional Chinese New Year's cake. That's about half of the dishes but I can't remember the rest! Everyone helped themselves buffet style going for seconds and thirds. Sydney helped herself to colored steamed rice cup
cakes before and after her meal so needless to say she was not very hungry when it was time to eat...but how could she resist those pink, blue and green cupcakes when they were just in her reach? They were a hit with the other children too. Crystal set up a small, low asian table for the kids to eat at and the adults sat around the dinning table. Her daughters were beautifully dressed in matching outfits. Everyone enjoyed tonights' menu and had a great time chatting the evening away!
