新年快樂 我的朋友們!

Happy New Year, my friends!

Xin nian kuai le, wo do peng you men!

Do I have it grammatically correct?

DH and I went to our fav Chinese place for dinner last night, and had Shanghai noodles, Twice-cooked pork made with pork belly and chili, and another pork dish of stir/fried small diced pork, diced tofu, and diced garlic sprouts stuffed into a toasted sesame bun. Wonderful! I had remainders for breakfast. Yum!

Obviously I had no hangover or queazy stomach!! Clean living!! LOL!

No queasy stomach? Ach, I had hotpot yesterday, and my stomach is murder. I managed to down two small steamed egg custard buns and some boiled taro chunks(left over). I don't think I even want to look at thinly sliced beef for a while.

Happy New Year everybody! I wish you an adventurous 2005. Be brave and go try out something that you have never eaten before! I have plenty on my list.

Jo-mel: that's very good. Though one thing to remember... English sentence structure is usually the opposite of the Chinese sentence structure. That's why it's a bit difficult for non-native speakers to learn Chinese. I know it was difficult for me when I first learned English.

So your sentence should be written as:

我的朋友們, 新年快樂! :smile:

.....

shrimp in blk bean garlic sauce hot plate, chicken in BBQ sauce hot plate,

Dejah: What is a hot plate? Is it a "sizzling" plate? Like an iron plate heated to red hot and you pour food on it?

Yetty

Well, Yetti, you'll be glad you're not eating at my house today. We had to cancel our dinner party because of a winter blizzard! :sad: It started snowing yesterday and developed into a full scale blizzard by this afternoon.. We've had at least 10" of snow so far. The wind was gusting at 50km/hour. I was glad we were at home. Can't complain compared to diasters elsewhere in the world.

Hubby, kids and I ate the finger food I had prepared... finishing off with a chicken in BBQ sauce "sizzling hot plate" ( yes, hzrt, sizzling cast iron plate). Luckily, I hadn't thawed the shrimp or made the wontons yet.

Will check out the pictures tomorrow and see if there is anything worth uploading.

Winter came in like a lion, perhaps it'll go out like a lamb.

Happy New Year to all of you and especially Jo-Mel!

We cooked for New Year's for a few friends - the menu was supposed to be:

Garlic Pate w/crackers, carrot and celery sticks (from Garlic Garlic Garlic by Linda and Fred Griffith)

Raspberry Cilantro Salsa with Mexican Tortilla Chips (from Heather's spice shop in Cleveland)

Belly Lox, Mini Bagels, Cream Cheese and Red Onion

Thai-Style Turkey Soup

Golden New Year’s Noodle Pillows with Crab Meat

Roasted Duck stuffed with Sauerkraut, with Apple Dressing (from Garlic Garlic Garlic)

Roasted Fresh Chicken

Home made Cranberry Sauce

Bob’s Home made dinner rolls

Jalepeno-Garlic-Cheddar Spoonbread (from Garlic Garlic Garlic)

Cherry Trifle

We wound up with so much food, and having so much fun, that we never made the Noodle Pancakes (and we had to toss the crab meat because, even though it was frozen when I bought it, it had been mishandled and wasn't very good) or thhe Apple Dressing (the cranberry sauce did fine). The duck was so fresh, they still had heads on them - I guess that means we'll be making duck soup next!

hzrt --

Ah yes! I was thinking like I speak ---- not as I was taught!

And shouldn't it be "zhu ni xin nian kuai le!" -- 祝

Also, I DO know it is woDE, not wodo.

------------------------------------------------

Looking at all those menus, I want to invite myself!

The word 祝 is optional. It is implied.

Also, I DO know it is woDE, not  wodo.

For a minute, I thought you were refering to the practice in New Orleans! LOL

Happy new year everyone!

I started to work at China46 NJ last new year. In there, I met Ms. Jo-mel, Mr. & Mrs. Perlow, Mr. MarkK, and Mr. Tommy, and many of the great members of the Egullet community.

It is really great to know you guys, and do you have any plan for the comming Chinese New Year in Feb?

Happy new year to everyone too! But all the Chinese kids know when is the real new year(hint... red pocket). :biggrin:

Haha, you've got me on that one. That's why I don't ask for anything during the American holiday season. Means more of the ka-ching when it counts. ;)

I hope she just figured enough was enough and retired, rather than that she got sick or died. I miss her and her delicious egg cakes. :sad:

To be clear, this is the corner of Mott and Mosco we're talking about, and she hasn't been there for at least two years or so, I guess. Unless she is there only when I'm not. :raz:
