Double Happiness


I love the Chinese Symbol - Double Happiness.
We used it as the theme for Camille's wedding.
To achieve happiness - make someone else happy and as a result you are happy too.
Double Happiness - so simple, so profound. 


I use Double Happiness as a symbol to celebrate
 Chinese New Year - (It is the year of the Dragon) and Valentine's Day.   
My wish for all - An Abundance of Double Happiness!

Lettuce Wraps
Peanut Sauce:
2 tsp. fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon sweet chile sauce
1 cup chunky peanut butter
1 tablespoons sugar
9 tablespoons peanut oil
lime juice
1/2 cup water
Marinate 4 chicken breasts in teriyaki sauce - 2 hours or more.  Grill and thinly slice.
Prepare 1 package angel hair pasta.  Add half the sauce to pasta and refrigerate for several hours. (You can easily skip this step and serve noodles plain)
