Its almost mid autumn festival again, I have been snacking on my favourite mooncakes... lotus paste with NO egg yolk. We were supposed to celebrate this at Pasquale's house this saturday but his little sister, Elizabetta now has hand foot and mouth disease so we moved the celebration to our house.
Here are some traditional lanterns... which runs the risk of accidently going up in flames as real candles are used. The not so traditional ones, like Ben Ten... well have a bulb and are really annoying with the music tune... Jin has even tried to pry out the music thing but to no avail... the light goes out as well and the plastic thing is cheaper than the traditional lantern, unbelievable.
Will go out and get decorative lanterns from Chinatown, will have fried rice, jiaozi and satay, wonder if that combo works... we also bought sparklers for the kids and here is a pic of their first time ever playing with a sparkler... they really do not know what to do with it, told them to write "o's".
Its the festival that chinese pyromaniacs like best....
