Good-Bye January

It has been a productive January in J.J. Land and February looks to be headed in that direction as well. I plan on doing a Chinese Take Out night at my house next month where I prepare the food. I have had some recipes for some of my Chinese favorites fall into my lap and I want to test them before I share them with my adoring public. Also, in case you haven't seen, you can now fan me on Facebook. I look forward to gaining many fans and please be sure to tell your friends! Keep sending those recipes and photos! I will leave you with a pretty simple, yet tasty chocolate pie!
