Kung hei fat choi!

Today we usher in the Year of the Rat...

Hee.

It was also Ash Wednesday on New Year's Eve, so all the cooking was done last night to facilitate the eating for today.

On a slightly funny note, my parents told me that the Archbishops in the Philippines gave out a special dispensation lifting abstinence and fasting on Ash Wednesday, since pork is traditionally eaten for Chinese New Year. What the...? Can anyone confirm this?
