Year of the Golden Rabbit

It felt like we just celebrate the new year 2011, then Chinese New Year is now upon us.  Yes,  the year of the rabbit is ready to hop out and make an entrance for the next three hundred plus plus days.

I've received a lot of email, sms and text about the 'prediction' of the new year.  It says that those who are born in the year of rabbit are articulate, talented, and ambitious. Wow, it seems like some admirable good qualities are bestowed on those born in the year of the rabbit.  No wonder some famous people born under the Sign of the Rabbit including Albert Einstein, Frank Sinatra, Pope Benedict XVI, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, and David Beckham,  

It also says they are virtuous, reserved, and have excellent taste.

H'mm ... speaking of excellent taste, that reminded me of the article about "Year of the Rabbit Stew" !  Some cultures celebrate food by having to taste it all,  but somehow it is a different story for me to think about the fluffy, cute little thing as something to stew in.

If nothing else teaches me more in my experience in Rosemary Bites, it's the appreciation of good food and life.   Thus, it our motto not to waste food and definitely not to waste life away.

Oh stew or no stew,  Chinese New Year is definitely another good chance to feast and be merry with family and friends.  To those who can't be home for Chinese New Year this year,  please know that we look forward to see you soon.  For those who are fortunate to be home this year,  cherish the moment and Have A Wonderful Golden Rabbit Year !
