There’s my list.  Well, a partial list, anyway.  I know there is more (I tried not to make it too terribly food-centric but that was hard.)

What would your list look like?  Similar in a lot of ways?  Or very very different?  I’m imagining my husband’s list and I absolutely know how different his would look.  Of course, on the Chinese Zodiac, we are complete opposites.  I’m a dragon and he’s a dog.  Oh, that makes me think of something - Special Fried Rice from DingHo.  I should have put that on my list, huh? 

Happy Easter to those who celebrate it.  And happy Sunday-with-no-special-meaning to the rest of you.
