I am not very Chinese anyway, so here are some Chinese pastries.

Today marks the return of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Every year, my mother likes to tell us of the festival's significance in our romantic lives.

Along with offering me "any prize I want in the world" to have a boyfriend, she also likes to buy me mooncakes so that I may offer them to Favorite Boy X.

This year, Matchmaker Mom reminds me to be coy and not give away the identity of my mooncake dealer:

With [Favorite Boy X] - Never tell him that i gave the moon cake to him, pleas!!!!, that will spoil the feeling. It is from "you" !!!!. You want to share, maybe he may not like it. But i think [Favorite Boy X] is the kind of guy, mind is open. Also you are not very Chinese anyway, tell him that. You know many foods are strange to others.

Moon cake festival is a big holiday, mixing of the feelings of Valentine and Thanksgiving as to Americans for now . You know some legendary story too from Chinese school. WEll only if [Favorite Boy X] has time or has chance to listen.

May you all have a lovely Mid-Autumn Festival, with a roast turkey in one hand and a box of chocolates in the other.
