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.
