I would have waited for Chinese New Year to release this post, but I'm too exuberant to greet the fierce Fire Horse and say buh-bye to 2013. To fend off evil spirits (and in honor of my Chinese roots), here are pictures of the lucky circle of life foods. And don't forget to eat noodles for long life :P

Home made leche flan

Salted peanuts

Grilled squid

Marshmallows to cure sore throat

Donuts

Pizza

I don't know what kind of buns these are.

French macarons with raspberries

Raspberry tartlets

Welcome Year of the Fire Horse!
