Once again, deprived of the opportunity to celebrate Chinese New Year in any meaningful way (read here, eat copious amounts of English Chinese food), I improvised by whipping up a batch of Chinese Five Spice Brownie Cookies. Paired nicely, I must say, with a glass of Napa Valley Syrah (Black Cat Vineyard) all of a sudden I felt quite festive. Yum!
I digress.
Gung hei fat choi to you all!

Cookies with red wine! Next thing you know, you'll be telling us to eat chocolate with red wine, and then you'll get a ton of nasty comments form wine writers who know better.
Vinogirl, sounds good to me.
Thomas has tongue-in-cheek!
If I could say anything that would receive "tons of nasty comments" I think I would write it, but few of us have that kind of power.
Well, "ton" may be a "heavy"-handed reference...
all the best from your Chinglish family.
To you too! Must get some decent Chinese food for tonight. I love the black mushroom and chicken soup they do at Shin Yua here in Oakland
Tomasso: Those kind of wine writers wouldn't waste their time on my blog, thank goodness!
The cookies are still fab with Syrah!
NHW: Best food and wine pairing I've had in a while :)
Thud: I look forward to a good Tai Pan visit in May :)
ALW: Not heard of Shin Yua, but the soup sounds good.
