    Happy Chinese New Year! China Series Recap

    Welcome to the year of the rabbit!

    We in Boston are still digging ourselves out of mountains of snow that fell on us the last two days. However, things are definitely looking up. The sun is out today, the snow is melting, and Punxsutawney Phil didn't see his shadow yesterday! Maybe hopes for an early spring??

    As many of you are aware, I have been running a pretty extensive China Series detailing my (two!) recent trips to China this past fall (both during Project Food Blog, no less!). It's taken quite a bit of time to write up all the posts, but I'm nearing the finish line. My last post? A hand-pulled noodle class that I took in Beijing! That particular post is taking a bit longer because I have some neat video footage from the class that I want to put together. [Update - the post is here!]

    Stay tuned for that final post to round out this series!

    Meanwhile, I've compiled the rest of the posts together in one photo montage. Peruse and enjoy!
