Year of the Cat!

Lunar New Year 2023 is the Year of the Cat if you are Vietnamese; it's a Rabbit year for the Chinese.

May we all enjoy good health, happiness, prosperity, love, peace, good food!

1 - Offerings to the ancestors on Tet eve.

2 - Harvesting luck: my turn this year (my Tiger is compatible with the Cat) to go out before midnight and be the first through the threshold during the new year  to usher in luck to the family.

3 - Good luck greens and good luck money.

4 - Transferring the protective red bracelet  that got me through my transformative, but potentially fraught, Tiger year to Sis, who may need it during her Cat year.

5 - Sugared coconut for a sweet year.

6 and 7 - Tet dinner: Eggrolls over "bun" rice noodles.
