Winter Party?!

As we promised, Joe made a big plate full of Spam musubi today for his extended family to celebrate our local winter festival. Everyone remembered Spam musubi from last year (for the same occasion), and yet again we were left with an empty plate at the end of the night. (OK, I ate the last couple of pieces while doing the dishes.)
Earlier in the day Joe worked hard in making and tasting the musubi just perfect. That spicy Spam, directly imported form Hawaii, was a big hit!!
Like I said, we tried to have a Chinese/Asian theme for the Chinese New Year as well. For a main dish we had Chinese Spaghetti with savory soy flavored ground pork sauce.
On the side we had shrimp/pork pot stickers, sweet/sour meatballs, and Asian coleslaw.
The main event though was the firework display over Teal Lake that we could watch from our front porch. Thank goodness it was about 15 degrees ABOVE zero tonight. A heat wave!!
