Our 2005 New Year’s Day dinner
New Year’s Day dinner menu included:
Peking Duck (marinated overnight in local Hood Canal Brewery Agate Pass Amber)
Stir-Fried Broccoli
Rice
Almond Jelly, Lychees and Fortune Cookies
Asian Pear Wine
Notes:
One college friend gave me the Peking Duck recipe years ago, and another provided the Almond Jelly recipe when we were living in RI. Thanks Y and E for the friendship and memories through the years!
I became curious to try the Asian Pear wine after reading the article Enoch Choi linked in his del.icio.us feed (this feed is recommended reading!). Article quote: From Washington state, AP Wine makes a unique wine from Asian pears and gives all its profits to affordable housing in the islands.. Website link: The story of AP Windfall Winery.
Elisabeth said fortune cookie for the first time, requesting her treat, and she said it well. This time I bought the cookies, rather than trying to make them myself. My two fortunes were Your lover will be true to you (okay, I traded Abigail for hers) and You will be admired for your internal beauty….not a bad way to begin a new year! 😉
Sorry to have missed Lisa and family’s Tuesday Night Family Dinner: Welcoming the New Year with Dim Sum: yum!
