"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:

2 teaspoons chopped garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup demi-glace (optional)

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