Year of the Dragon - food for good luck

It's Chinese New Year's Eve. Since some things have worked out well over the last few weeks after having blackeyed peas, collard greens, and pork chops on our New Year's Day(good luck meal and good meal), why not honor the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with fish and oranges(for good luck, always needed).

Tonight we had sea bass broiled with a light olive oil covering, and sprinkled with a little salt and more than a little, but not too much, fennel pollen(rare Tuscan spice that makes everything taste good, not just fennel but the pollen from Zingerman's). Whatever. We also had pasta with lots of mushrooms, brown rice, salad, and broccoli. Thank goodness the dishes are washed because it makes me tired writing all of this. Grapefruit and oranges came while watching the Giants game.

Who knows if good luck will come, but missing bad luck is good luck so how will we ever know.
