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.

Happy Mid-Autumn festival to you, too, love. :-)

I want a mooncake too!

Obviously, I can't actually help, but it does strike me that if you got a box of half a dozen you'd find someone to help you eat the rest. :)

Pomelo hats for all! (Cats, that is.)

Happy Mid-Autumn festival!

I love mooncakes. I have a couple of favorite bakeries in Chinatown that make nice ones. My favorite is mixed nut filling.

wasn't it lovely? I turned off all the lights and just lay there in moonlight for an hour feeling happy about that.

Tonight's the peak of both the full moon and the equinox

Wow, I wonder when the last time was that those were within 6 or so hours of each other.
