Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
There are many foods that are traditionally served during the Chinese New Year, all of which have some symbolic meaning, sometimes because of the ingredients, sometimes because of their physical characteristics, and sometimes because of the way they affect health. One of the most common things that we'll see this weekend during the celebration is the dumpling.Dumplings are served because they represent good luck, fortune, and family togetherness. Often, families get together to make dumplings, which makes it a family affair. If you have it in you to make dumplings from scratch rather than stopping at the local Chinese restaurant to pick up a take-out order, food blog Plate of the Day has a recipe for jiaozi, made with pork (perfect for the year of the pig!) and leek. The most helpful part of the post is, of course, the pictures, which show how to fold and close the dumplings.

You can get these at any dim sum restaurants but they aren't as good as the freshly made ones. Here's a link from my fiancee's family recipe: http://www.plateoftheday.com/170/
