Egg Rolls

One of my favorite childhood memories I have is sitting in the kitchen with my brother while my mum cooked up dozens upon dozens of egg rolls. She stopped the tradition years ago when we all started doing our own thing. Instead of making egg rolls for New Years (as my mum traditionally did) I decided to cook up a batch in honor of the Chinese New Year, January 28. 2017 is the year of the Rooster, and people born during a Rooster year are said to be observant. What’s really unique about the Chinese Zodiac signs to me personally is that my mum, her mom and I are all the year of the Tiger.  What’s your Chinese Zodiac sign?
