Today is the traditional Chinese Lantern Festival. This is the tradition festival for people getting together. We plan a small party, just for 4-5 people. Tangyuan(汤圆) or dumplings is the staple food for this festival, it means the reunion, like the shape of Tangyuan---round. We prefer preparing Hot Pot by ourselves as our dinner and enjoying the TV program together.
Step 1: Preparing
We assign jobs: Allen and I respond asking needs and shopping. It’s not an easy job. Even it sounds so easy. Different 5 people have infinite thought, as we are so familiar with each other. They can change their thoughts at any time with no complains. HEHE, but we feel happy and relax about it. After collecting suggestions, real work begins.
We must calculate the most fit food amount for 5 people and consider the budget.
Fortunately, there are only 4 plastic bags need to carry, but so heavy, because so much meat and gefilte fish balls. Don’t make little of girls appetite.^_^
Step 2: begin the Hot Pot
This is a wonderful process, so harmony and happy.
Of course, the other 3 must take care of our 2. Jojo responds the food making. Flora and Jenny are ready for washing balls after hot pot!
The evening party of CCTV made more topics for us.
Step 3: Having the traditional Tangyuan!
This is just a very normal and happy party. But I start to know that we sometime just the leader of our part, even ourselves. The success for a group is the cooperation and understanding. If everyone responds their parts carefully, then get together we will succeed.
