Happy Chinese New Year! (There’s a Pig on the Living Room Floor)

Today this roasted pig (the entire thing) showed up on our living room floor as part of the first day of Chinese New Year.  My host mother is of Chinese descent so this is a very important holiday in our house.

She and her father, along with our live-in maid chopped the entire pig on the living room floor, then delivered pork to all our neighbors and extended family members.

My host mother is so tired from working hard to keep traditions going this past week (Chinese New Year and her daughter’s wedding) that she’s lost her voice.
