I hoping beyond all things "hopeable" that my wife does not read this prior to the actual event (or brushes this over without heeding any attention at all). The "event" that I'm alluding to is a Chinese holiday known (in English) as the Mid-Autumn Day. Little does she know that I have quite a surprise for her, seeing that this is her first Mid-Autumn Day away from China. I am preparing a feast (of sorts I guess), brought wish-lanterns with us on our last flight (from China) and will even be making the customary, and dreadful (in terms of taste), Mooncake (the Chinese Mooncake is equivalent to the Western Christmas Fruitcake - given and not to be eaten). One happy note on the Mooncake, my Mother bought a Mooncake mold that dates back to the Qing Dynasty (the mold is nearly, or over, 100 years old!). Here's a teaser of sorts -
Wish me luck!
Peace.
