Reflections on the Chinese New Year

Good ChoiceAs the Year of the Snake  approaches, I realize I have spent much of the past Year of the Dragon in Chinese restaurants.

Good Choice

I’m afraid I didn’t always make good choices.

But, despite my occasional bad choice, I always tried to display…

Good Taste

And when I did, the result usually tasted good.
