THE CHEF - DENNIS! He works hard preparing all the food for the evening. He starts several weeks in advance shopping for his special ingredients at the Chinese markets. We usually make a trip to Las Vegas around the middle of January. Most things you can get here but some things you have to get at the Chinese market. He is a fabulous cook and everything he made turned out so yummy and delicious!
The menu was as follows:
Appetizers:
Spring Rolls
Paper Wrapped Chicken
Shrimp Skewers
Sweet & Sour Dipping Sauce
Main Course:
Corn Egg Flower Soup
Sweet and Sour Chicken
Teriyaki Vegetables
Ham Fried Rice
Lion's Head
Dessert:
Mandarin Orange Sherbet topped with Mandarin Oranges
Lychee Nuts
We played games and socialized after dinner. We always play a Chinese game called pop, pop, pop. It is named that for the firecrackers they light off at New Year's.
Here we are after the dinner cleaning up. My sisters-in-law Helen (left) and Nadine (right) worked hard after the dinner helping clean up the dishes, kitchen and dining room. What would I have ever done without them? Thank you very much!
It was a fun evening and good to just sit back and relax after it was all over. Until next year.
Dennis had a long day! Another triumph, my dear!

We were so disappointed ... and sick ... that we were home with the stomach flu instead of to your house with all our friends and that yummy food. Dennis goes to so much work for everyone and we are honored to be on the guest list each year. Phyllis you look so pretty!
Your dinner looks delicious! Yummy!
