新年快乐 from your friends at the Dog Denizens at Genesee Park (DDGP)!Chúc mừng năm mới!
New Year? you might be wondering. Didn't we do that last month? It's post-Groundhog Day.
Whether you call it Lunar New Year or Tet, the occasion allows for cleaning out homes of bad luck, paying debts, purchasing new clothes and resolving differences with family and friends. Tet celebrants usher in the New Year with the Le Tru Tich celebration at midnight (Giao Thao) that includes fireworks. The popping sounds that you heard at midnight weren't gunfire in the Rainier Valley.
If you choose to celebrate with a libation, why not go old school with the Singapore Sling? Created in 1915 by Ngiam Tong Boom (嚴崇文), a bartender at the Long Bar in the Raffles Hotel Singapore, the Sling combines gin, fruit juice, French and Danish liqueurs.
