On Friday, we experienced our first Moon Festival celebration. This holiday is characterized by family get-togethers, moon-gazing, barbeques, moon cakes, and jubilant festivities. We were invited to go to the apartment building of one of our Chinese friends to barbeque. We grilled out sausages, hotdogs (we think), whole small fish, bamboo, vegetables, and pork. We had a great time and enjoyed seeing how the Moon Festival was celebrated. The weather was great, and we could see the full moon perfectly as it rose over the mountain. Page's favorite part was when her friend, Jessica, suggested she share the cake she brought with all the neighbors. They walked from table to table offering a piece of cake. Most all the people accepted, and several asked for the recipe. Page was a little embarrassed because it was only a Duncan Hines box mix sent from America! When asked what kind of cake it was, she just said "yellow birthday cake." She says next time she will make something from scratch...
