How we celebrated Mid Autumn Festival 2009 !!

This was how we celebrated Mid Autumn Festival this year, no BBQ party and no fancy mooncakes. My daughter just invited her 3 best friends to our house, I prepared some fried stuffs and jelly mooncakes (my 1st attempted making jelly mooncake, done it last minutes only).





- Grilled Buffalo Chicken Wings (marinate with McCormick Garlic & Herb Buffalo Wings seasoning mix) , fried sausages and nuggets and homemade jelly mooncakes.

-kids playing lantern..

- My first attempted doing snowskin mooncake, very ugly skin. Everyone said this is easy to do, after I experienced it, it was not as simple as I thought, the difficult part is how to well combine the shortening, cold water and Kou flour . Anyway,I will try to improve in next year only. Check out JO's recipe or Anncoo's recipe.

- Also my first attempted doing jelly mooncakes..look not bad huh..

-Greea Tea flavour jelly mooncake with red bean paste (homemade)

-Red colour jelly mooncake, with red bean paste.
