Tonight I made my first five course meal for Corrie, Joe, Sandi, and Brian. This fulfilled the tradition of having Chinese food during Christmas even though it turned into more a new years celebration.  I was also excited to win at the game Loaded Questions.  It is so fun. If you have not played then you are really missing out. Thanks again to Corrie and Joe for bringing it.  I was also excited to receive bees from Sandi and Brian. They made a donation in my name so that a family could get bees and become economically self sufficient.

Here is the menu that I prepared:

• Hot and Sour Soup
• Szechean Vegetables with Tofu
• Asparagus with Sesame Seeds
• Stir Fried Bok Choy
• Fried Rice

I guess that I should say all four of us prepared the items. I got home from work and was cooking like a champ. I took out a chopper to take care of the carrots. This thing was lethal.  I managed to cut my hand three times. I bled through all the band aids I had in the house. I called Sandi and Brian to ask it they could bring more.  I was getting nervous about needing stiches.  Fortunately, the bleeding has stopped but the sight of the cuts still throbs.  Cooking can be dangerous.

The pain in my fingers soon lessened as I won Loaded Questions for the first time.  I am looking forward to playing it many more times in the future.  In the meantime, Happy New Years Eve!
