This holiday is right up Jia's alley as she is all about the moon - and eating! The bakers gave her a cookie too so we're off to a good start!
Is anyone else celebrating? What are you doing for it? I'd love ideas for years to come.

Moon Festivities
This Tuesday, we will celebrate the Harvest Moon Festival. We purchased lotus seed paste and red bean mooncakes from a local Chinese-run bakery. The pastries have an egg yolk inside, which represents the moon. We plan to lay outside on a blanket and gaze at the bright moon while drinking hot tea and eating mooncakes.

We read 'moon' books and this year I am making "rabbit in the moon cookies" I can't eat a mooncake..yuck. I hope you guys like them but I would have a moonpie as backup LOL
I love the Moon Festival too. We just went to our local FCC celebration Sat. night.
Hi Jane,
Can I ask what Chinese bakery you went to? We have not had mooncakes before.....not sure I can eat them either....the ingredients sound rather interesting! Let us know if you like them!

I love August Moon Festival and mooncakes. As children, we would celebrate by carrying brightly lit lanterns around the neighborhood. Enjoy your Moon Festival, Jia!!!!
