The moon certainly was very full last night.

Mid-Autumn Festival is when the moon is supposedly at it's fullest and roundest. I was out driving on empty roads in the wee hours of the morning--it's a great time to drive, as long as deer aren't jumping in front of your car--and the sight of the moon, full and bright reminded me that Mid-Autumn festival was today.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone! (中秋节快乐!)

Now I want a mooncake. Preferably a plain black bean one.

Would they have decent mooncakes at H Mart, you think? I know they are more Korean in focus. Maybe you should go and find out and let us know :) I really should get to HMart sometime and stock up on the dumplings Sophia likes, so I would be interested to hear whether the black bean mooncakes there are worthwhile as well.

I didn't see moon cakes last time I was there (last weekend), but then again I wasn't looking for them.

Reminds me though, I am all out of dumplings.....

They do have mooncakes. They're sitting by the entrance near Tous les Jours, the bakery.

Unfortunately, they only sell them in boxes of at least a half-dozen, it looks like, and they don't have any that are just black bean. Most of the boxes have either lotus seed paste or a mix of flavors, and I just want one black bean one.

But yes, I already checked. It's easier now that I live within five miles of H-Mart. :)
