Happy Mid-Autum Festival!

Yes, it's that time of year again when families gather to eat dinner, look at the moon, and eat mooncakes in celebration of the full moon. Too bad it's rainy and cloudy this evening and the moon is hidden. This is our third year to attempt eating mooncakes. I have to admit, I have grown to like the fruit kinds a LITTLE bit but still can't stomach most kinds (especially any of them with egg in the middle). Mooncakes are big-business over here. In our city, we know of one hotel alone that sells over $1 million US dollars in mooncakes each year! Kevin's school gave us these "ice snow purple rice" flavored mooncakes with lotus paste filling.

Mmmmm, Grace thinks they aren't too bad. Maybe she will grow up actually thinking these are tasty!
Kevin took this picture tonight on his bike ride home. Festive dragons are always fun...
