Chinese Food!

From Heather Breeland:

I love a traditional pot luck dinner and last week's dinner did not disappoint. Some brought old favorite recipes to share. Others showed up with a new recipe they wanted to try and declared us their "guinea pigs." That's funny! I thought last week was all about groundhogs. Oh well, I enjoyed every bite.

I have a story to share before I tell you the theme. You see, Chris and I have always tried to avoid the commercialism that surrounds most holidays. When we got married 22 years ago, we decided that we would not buy gifts to exchange on Valentine's Day. Rather, we would make it a point to do something special and make it a tradition. And so we have. Every year I pick up a movie and he picks up take out Chinese food. We pull out our fine china and watch the movie while we dine by candlelight. (Mushy, isn't it.) So, even though it will be after Valentine's Day when we get together again, can you guess what our theme will be? That's right, Chinese.

Please remember, as you plan your dish, that Melissa has invited those who are interested in learning more about the Co-Op to join us for dinner. So, make a little extra and I'll see you around the dinner table.
