    I believe my face is a result of the fortune cookie implying indifference to um.. “intimate activities”. As though, cheeky fortune cookie!!

    Thanks again to you and Hua for being the most wonderful hosts and talented chefs. You two are inspiring!

    Happy Niu Year! Congratulations on being featured as a 24, 24, 24 blog. Your party is excellent. I want some of that white chicken.

    We also did a 24, 24, 24 dinner on Saturday. Though nowhere near as big. That must have been a lot of work!

    That is it! I’m moving to San Francisco. And I might have to set up a tiny bed in your kitchen. What an amazing meal you guys planned! Your guests will be the richest, luckiest, most fruitful folks around.

    Great Post! I recently read that fortune cookies are an American invention. That surprised me because they are soooo associated with Chinese restaurants! Yours are fab! GREG
