Chinese New Year

One blipper asked: 'was is good' ?  The answer was yes and it was so good that I was inclined to post this on 'google' on the internet. The restaurant's name: Olive Tree, Chinese Kitchen.
My 94 year old Chinese friend Mary recommend this place years ago, but we had not been there for years. Now we got some take-out and it was the best Chinese Food we ever had!
To my girlfriends who might try a new trick or two,
Here are some Chinese rituals for observing Lunar New Year. They physicalize in actions and symbols, our aspirations for spirit. Got time to purge musty demons and make way for our better angels waiting in the wings? Get out your broom and start sweeping! This year, it falls on Friday, February 12th.
 
1) Cleaning: Your house should be clean by end-of-day Thursday. Don’t even think about vacuuming on Friday — you’ll suck all your good fortune away!

2) Oranges: Round and golden like gold coins, oranges symbolize prosperity. Place them in every room in your house (and your pockets) to attract good fortune.

3) Candy: On Friday morning, give your kids a piece of candy to eat, first thing, to ensure they will speak sweetly all year. Include adults for good measure.

4) Money: It’s traditional to give children money in a red envelope for luck. They are encouraged to spend it (don’t save it). 
 
5) Dress: Red is a good luck color — wear it if you have it.

6) Ancestors: Honor your ancestors with red candles, incense, etc. When you dine, set extra servings for them and take a little time for remembrance. 
Gung Hay Fat Choy! (Happy New Year!)
