WOW!! Where did all of September go??

It's the 22nd of September already? How can that be? Didn't we just get here? Life has been busy here. Although it's a different kind of busy. My day starts every day with Zumba except on Wednesdays where I play Mahjong and then Zumba in the afternoon.

Today is a Holiday in China. It is the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Chinese celebrate by lighting off fireworks at 6:30am. They also have family reunions and eat moon cakes. From what I understand Moon cakes are the eqivalent of a fruit cake given at Christmas time at home. Asia was brave enough to try one last night and I think according to her reaction, they are nastier than fruit cake! I am not sure what kind she tried but she definitely DID NOT LIKE IT! Some have fruit filling and others have meat, nuts or salty preserved egg in them.

I tried them, did not like them, not even a little but then again, who does like them....I quietly waited until a month or so pass and threw them out in the trash when no one was looking. Mr Yang gave us two boxes and someone from Suonllen's work gave him some too...too bad you can't hold on to them and re-gift the next year! although some of them taste like they were :-)

Happy Moon Cake Holiday!
