Happy Moon
Yesterday was the Mid Autumn Festival here in China. To see more about this you can see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-Autumn_FestivalYou eat Moon Cakes (see above and below) and get together with family. Miriam is still sick so we just kept it to our family this year. But I made a whole meal with round foods. I got this idea from a book I just finished call Wild Swans- a very good story about a family in China through out different parts of history. A great story you can find out more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Swans If you want to find out more about a family in China this would be a great book.
In the book it talks about a Grandma who every year for the Mid Autumn Festival made a round meal. So we had fun with: meatballs, carrot slices and moon cakes!
Asa with moon cake- he loves them.
See below for other pics from this week.

Wow, you read so fast. I am glad you enjoyed the book and I hope it brought some insight to some of the culture and women in China.
