Today is officially the beginning of the Chinese New Year…the year of the Monkey! If you’re feeling festive, it really is easy to pull off a quick party theme…especially since you can order takeout from your local Chinese restaurant and add thematic touches with store-bought items like fortune cookies and chopsticks! So we pulled off a fun celebration with several family friends over the weekend…a semi-new tradition started by my youngest son a couple years ago! I’d like to share some of the simple ideas for a Chinese New Year or even a casual, Chinese takeout dinner party…it’s easy to make a simple meal simply festive!
