Eating roasted turkey on Christmas day is a tradition in many western countries. This year we tried to celebrate Christmas in this way. Although it is our first time to roast a whole turkey, I have to say that it is a big success! Young turkey meat is so tender and juicy. And when I ate it companying a cup of famous Canada ice wine, so awesome!!!!!!!!!


*Chinese Hot Pot*


Ingredients: chicken broth, Bok Choy, Shanghai Bok Choy, shrimp, lamb slices, Beef slices, frozen Toufu, tender Toufu, dried fried Toufu, luncheon meat, Szechuan potato noodle, pork meatball, cuttlefish meatball, dipping sauce.


Hot pot is one of my favorite chinese cuisines. There are many styles of hot pot from various regions in China. I prefer Beijing style Hot Pot the most since I was born and grew up there. Hot pot is quite popular from North to South in China. One reason is because it is a perfect choice for many people, no matter the whole family or a group of friends, sitting together around the pot and enjoying. It makes everyone happy and warm especially in winter season. Another reason is that we can put any easily-cooked food in the pot as we like. Therefore anyone can find his/her likes in the pot, even the pickiest person! :)
