I don't know if you have a tradition for what goes on on New Year's Eve, but here....usually all bets are off as DH has to run reports for Year End at his work. Month End and Year End always seem to loom ominously.....and the hours take their toll.
So...he worked today....told me he would be late...and I decided, it was a good day to break with tradition and go grab some Mooshoo Pork to go at the hole-in-the-wall chinese take out place near me. MAN...it's been a while since I've had it, and it's messy and wonderful and I was reminded all over again how much I love Mooshoo Pork!! If you have never had it, try it this year. It's almost like eating a chinese burrito....the stir fry yummy-ness is wrapped in a rice wrapper much like a tortilla and a hoisin sauce is spread over the top before wrapping...truly a taste treat!
At the end of my feast, I grabbed MY fortune cookie, eager to see what the words of wisdom would hold for me on this last night of 2009.
"You will have gold pieces by the bushel."
Quickly my smile spread ear to ear.....Gold pieces by the bushel?!?? What else could they be talking about other than my SCRAPS!?? Whoowhooo....that's the right kind of fortune for me...bring on those gold scraps, and throw in some cheddar ones and some orange ones and some yellow ones....I'm ready! :cD

How cool is that fortune?
Happy New Year!
Mu Shu Pork (how we spell it in these parts!) is my favorite Chinese dish! Can't wait to see all the gold scraps that appear in your quilts this year!
Happy New Year Bonnie hon, I wish you wonderful things for 2010 - and it's my hope that we'll be able to catch up in April.
Quilt on!
*hugs*

Happy New Year to you! I've never had Mooshoo Pork however I'll try to find it tomorrow for lunch. Today I'm spending today working on a quilt today with a friend today. This has become an annual event!
I have some friends in Massachusetts who always celebrate "First Night" by ordering Chinese Food. So you've just moved a northern tradition a bit south!
You are so funny :) Thanks for the giggle!
Of course you would think of scraps!
Happy New Year Bonnie and may 2010 be full of lots of scrappy fun and many more mystery quilts!
Moo shoo pork is my favorite... It's all about the hoisin sauce in my book... LOVE that stuff!
What a great fortune! And gold makes me happy, so maybe some happiness goes in with those gold pieces.
PS I like the name Gold Pieces for your next quilt.
Happy New Year to you too, Bonnie!
Hope the fortune cookie is right :o)
Good luck:o)
