MR. GUNG'S HAY MAKES A FAT MRS. CHOY

Gung Hay Fat Choy! The first time I saw that on my comments I thought "is someone trying to recommend a delicious dish of food to order at a Chinese restaurant?" .... I am brilliant, so it only took me about a gzillion blogs to realize .... it must mean Happy New Year or some kind of a greeting. So right back at ya... GUNG HAY FAT CHOY or Mr. Gung's hay make a fat Mrs. Choy. WHATEVER....

For fun today and in the mood for self celebration of the CNY (no CNY celebrations on Sunday in this town) I baked the Barefoot Contessa's Coconut Cupcakes.. with cream cheese frosting (YUMMMMM) and to make these treasures of scrumptious YUMMMMS in the spirit of Chinese New Year I dyed the coconut RED!!!! I passed it out to friends and family with the above greeting.... Mr Xia and Fong (my neighbors) were the first to get this greeting.... I only hope that the characters were indeed saying the intended greeting.... I have entrusted the Internet blindly on this one.....
