(Chinese New Years hot pot feast we whipped up at elonweis's place.)


Happy Chinese New Year!

Wait. That was last month. Come to think of it. I missed the regular New Year. Christmas too. In fact, I haven't posted in about three months.

Erm...


(Christmas Tree at Cat's parents', December 24, 2008.)


I think I've got an excuse that some of you may even buy. I got promoted in the first week of January.

Yup, promoted. A really big promotion. Damn near a miracle in this economy. Since then, my already busy schedule has kicked into super-hyper-overdrive. I haven't really slept in the past two months. A whole bunch of 12-16 hours workdays and weekends later, I think I've finally got a handle on everything. ... I hope.


(Playing for sympathy with a cute beagle.)


So, I'm back. I hope those of you still out there, lurking behind the tumbleweeds, dust bunnies, and crickets, will join me again my culinary meanderings. There's still a lot of great food out there. Let's find it together.


(Shameless attempt at bribery.)
