Translation of Ingredients Terms - Chinese to English

Popovers

Can you believe the end of the year is already here? It has gone by so quickly, with a blink of an eye, a few pinches of this, a handful of that and lots of sprinkle of love with a garnish of passion, this year has gone by under my nose.  A new year of hope and prosperity awaits.  A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR to all family and friends.
