"What the F*ck?" Wednesday -- It's Chinese to me

Literally. This holiday card arrived on Monday, and I guess we are supposed to assume it says something like...

"Wishing you a fabulous 2008! Kick ass and take names! P.S. It's the year of the Rat, so watch out, because rat-like Nutria are moving into your neighborhood."

Or something like that.




If anyone knows Chinese, please let me know what it really says. Oh, and here's the kicker. The envelope was all in English. WTF??

I'm eating Chinese food for dinner. I think that card was sent to you by secret operatives at China Wok to make you hungry for Chinese food.

I asked Mei to translate for you and this is what she said:

the top left is Merry Christmas and may everything be good and go smoothly for this year.

The middle writing was too small for her to read.

The four words under the small writing is basically Happy New Year.

Safe, healthy and happiness for the new year. The last line is the Chairman's name.

Boo.
I was hoping it was a nutria recipe.

That'd have been fun.

For no cool story:

Heart Healthy 'Crock-Pot' Nutria

2 hind saddle portions of nutria meat
1 small onion, sliced thin
1 tomato, cut into big wedges
2 potatoes, sliced thin
2 carrots, sliced thin
8 Brussels sprouts
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup water
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup demi-glace (optional)

Layer onion, tomato, potatoes, carrots and Brussels sprouts in crockpot. Season nutria with salt, pepper and garlic, and place nutria over vegetables. Add wine and water, set crockpot on low and let cook until meat is tender (approximately 1-1/2 hours). Garnish with vegetables and demi-glace. Makes four servings

And it's heart healthy too! In case you want a little more variety, more recipes here: www.nutria.com/site14.php
