talktoolooseI have to do some research on the Chinese Moon Festival, which we celebrated with TuTu this past Thursday. He doesn't know any meaning of the day other than a time to get together with family and eat moon cakes. As it is also known as "Mid-Autum Festival", Snake surmises that it must be a harvest celebration. Anyway, we headed off to Chinatown in the morning and bought lots of yummies which are pictured here:
(clockwise from upper left) Pork and cabbage dumplings with spicy pork ears and vinegar dipping bowls; barbecued cuttlefish; the best moon cakes ever from the Kim Moon bakery on Dundas W.; preserved eggs.
Beware dinner invitations at our house...

Like candy watermelon slices of doom!
