Chinese New Year and the food was past any of the
usual adjectives — I need a teen-kid to put it right

for me but they’re all out —

Try Mega marvellous!

you can get out of the
smallest ham? My kids hate
it as leftovers (Brian even
hates it first time round) un-

book and tried:

Shirley did an appetizer
salad that we can all
duplicate but who would

me that she dreamed it up
just before- we all arrived
and | guarantee it
