This year's new year, we added new decorations for our place. After our Christmas tree left, we thought there was a big gap in the hall and went to get the pussy willow. And we decorated our front door with new hangings of the 12 Chinese zodiac animals (now I can recycle this door hangings every year!).
I had also added new auspicious plants like the red radish (which is the 'in' thing to grow this year). To date, the three radishes we have are growing so well that two of them had flower buds already. You can get this from the vegetable stalls in the wet market. If you buy it from the florists it'll cost you thrice as much because of the flower pots and soil. Just need to plant this radish into the soil and voila!
I've tried brewing soup with this red radish as well. Just cut the radish into quarters, 1 or 2 carrots, chicken bones or pork ribs and put everything into the slow cooker for 4 to 5 hours. You get a nice clear and sweet soup. It taste sweeter than those white radishes soup in fact.
And for the lucky kids, they're wearing the traditional chinese clothes we got from Taiwan. I thought Zhi looks like some botak monk.
Finally, an almost OK family photo except Zhi is not looking at the camera.
