Hi everyone…for the next few weeks you’ll find everything you need from my various radio shows posted here instead of my website while my webmaster is away. Oh, and my wife Ramona has a new blog called The Lasagna Project. Check it out.
Pacific Palate, January 10th Chinese New Year Preparations
This morning I welcomed Melina Hung into the studio. Melina is the marketing manager with T & T Supermarkets, a chain of amazing Asian grocery stores with outlets in Vancouver, Richmond, Alberta and Ontario. I have a lot of fun just going down to the shop in Chinatown and hanging out by the live fish tanks and taking in all the action.
Melina came by today with some samples of the special ready-to-serve Chinese New Year dishes that T & T is making available to customers in advance of, and just after, the Lunar New Year, which this year falls on January 29th as we begin the Year of the Dog. Pictured here are Happy Jumping Shrimp, Supreme Buddha Temptations, and Pearly Crab with Glutinous Rice. All the menu items are reasonably-priced and you just have to order them 2 days in advance. Thanks, Melina!
