In the United States, we celebrate the new year for one day and then move on. However, in China, the New Year lasts for much longer than that.
Chinese New Year, or “Spring Festival” as it’s called in China, is a 15-day celebration that starts with the new moon on the first day of the new year and ends with the full moon 15 days later.

I was craving a whole lot of sugar a few days ago, so I had the bright idea to make something super unhealthy. These brownies are the perfect combination of cookie, Oreo and brownie. I admit I got lazy and just bought a tub of cookie dough for the bottom layer. I found this recipe at www.whatsgabycooking.com. You can also use premade cookie dough and brownie mix instead of making them from scratch.

They can be found walking around college campuses in their vintage clothes, listening to the strange music of obscure artists through their headphones.
