We had some old friends over last night as an excuse to have a Mid-Autumn Festival (Moon Festival) meal!
 |
| Clockwise from left: Deep-fried sesame balls with red-bean filling (usually a breakfast snack, but good for noshing at anytime); Ramen-noodle salad with broccoli, and green onion & cilantro on the side; carrots and edamame; grilled pork tenderloin that had been marinated in Cha Siu sauce; beef skewers using a Korean pear sauce recipe; a lazy-susan with various lucky fruits; dipping sauces; and jasmine rice |
 |
| Chocolate and pumpkin-spice cupcakes with white frosting (because it's the Moon) ... instead of mooncakes. If I'd had more time I'd have tried making a shortcake cupcake with strawberry jam filling, for something that looked more traditional |
 |
| And right on cue, the moon came up and filled our backyard with brilliant light all night long! |
