fewer leftovers hopefully
I don’t believe it myself but Chinese New Year is slightly over a week away and I haven’t even started my grocery runs which typically involve hauling back boxes of mandarin oranges and food gifts to be given away in the customary gift exchange.
My biggest problem every year is that I tend to overbuy. You know, that just-in-case mentality. The truth is there’s always plenty to go around because when someone brings a basket of food gifts, you just recycle what someone else brought earlier.
This year, I’m cutting down, buying on just a little extra, just to pacify that just-in-case mentality. I’m tired of having all those leftover cookies and crunchies that last for months after CNY. Seriously.
Visitors get served basically the same stuff at every house they visit. Typically The kids would’ve gotten so sick of eating them that by then, no one’s interested in eating any more.
