If you've been reading my blog for awhile now, you might remember a post I wrote around this time last year about Mid-Autumn Festival, the popular lunar harvest festival celebrated by Chinese, Taiwanese and Vietnamese people. Last year, I was completely caught off guard and totally surprised when my co-workers surprised me with boxes of moon cakes and other little gifts. Let it be known, though, that I am not the kind of girl who forgets a good holiday - especially one that includes yummy goodies like moon cakes - and this year I was prepared.
Boyfriend was away for the weekend so I celebrated with my BFF and new roomie, Bunny. She decided that she wanted to treat me to a traditional Chinese dinner so we headed out to the biggest Asian supermarket in town and stocked up on things we'd need for our feast. (And, yes, a few boxes of moon cakes also ended up in our basket.)
While Bunny cooked, I got to play around with her fancy schmancy digital SLR camera. Here are some of my favorite shots from the afternoon -
To say that dinner was delicious would be a major understatement. It was DELICIOUS!
I said it last year & I'll say it again ... this holiday beats Halloween any day. Good food and delicious pastries and pretty lanterns and quality time spent with loved ones? Yes, please. It has officially been added to my list of autumn favorites, right up there with Thanksgiving and football homecomings and pumpkin spice lattes.
