<\/p>\n

A VERY HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR <\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

I applaud the decision of the People’s Republic who this year have mandated a change from the traditional association of a Year with an animal, to identifying a Year with a vegetable or other form of produce. <\/p>\n

This heralds the beginning of a new epoch… one devoted to healthier eating habits and no more hiding-the-beets-behind-the-mashed-potatoes young man! <\/p>\n

This is Year of the Radish<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

And then in succeeding years: <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Arugula <\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hot House Tomatoes <\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Turnip <\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Butternut Squash <\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brocolli or Cauliflower <\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eggplant <\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Green Giant Le Soeur Peas <\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bok Choy (aka Chinese Vegetable) <\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Baked Beans (from scratch) <\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vegetable Stir Fry <\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

All Phallic Vegetables (Carrots, Asparagus etc.) <\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

You are obligated to eat the Veggie of the Year everyday unless it makes you fart, or if it’s Yom Kippur. <\/p>\n

Hurrah for the People’s Republic! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
