For this Chinese Feast, the fire-breathing Golden Dragon is trying to be helpful. It is saving energy by using his fire to barbecue these chickens. It’s an AI image, but I think it’s fun. I would love to have a dragon cooking my dinner!
“Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with ketchup.”
Laurie E. Rozakis
Dragons have always fascinated me. They are my favorite mythical creature. Dragons appear in some form in every culture in the world. They are stately creatures.
For the Chinese, dragons are not merely mythical creatures but embodiments of cosmic forces, guardians of the celestial order. They are revered for their benevolence and wisdom. Their presence is believed to bring good fortune and prosperity to all who encounter them. With their fierce yet noble demeanor, dragons inspire awe and reverence, commanding respect and admiration wherever they go.
The Year of the Dragon
The Year of the Dragon comes every twelve years and always comes in a Leap Year. For those born in 1964 and 2024 are born in the year of the Wood Dragon.
“Wood Dragons are intelligent, attractive, and usually well-loved. They’re blessed with the ability to make good use of their environment and have an intuitive sense of timing, so success will not be difficult to attain.

They’re very popular and move in different social circles, but because of their fiery temper, Wood Dragons may not be as lucky or auspicious in their intimate relationships. In finances, Wood Dragons’ fortunes often come enviably quickly.”
In the realm of ancient Chinese mythology, dragons reign supreme as symbols of power, wisdom, and good fortune. Among these majestic creatures, none are as revered as the fire-breathing golden dragon. Its luminous scales shimmer with the promise of prosperity and protection. As it soars through the heavens with graceful majesty, the golden dragon embodies the essence of celestial guardianship. Its fiery breath ignites the sky with bursts of radiant light.
