Happy Mid-Autumn Moon Festival! (+ Geek Fun)

Eat 'em if you've got 'em.

It's Moon Festival time, which for me means one splendid thing: eating moon cakes! The Cine-Sib and my mom together sent me a big box of these things, including my favorite types -- the ones with sweet red bean paste filling and the ones with salted duck egg yolks inside. Time to make some hot jasmine tea, slice up a moon cake, and indulge!

For the Sibling and fellow nerds/geeks, here is a slightly different kind of mooncake. No egg yolks inside, but plenty of Geek Fun instead:

UPDATE: Are the Greenies going to ruin this too? Some Taiwanese are wondering if it's environmentally responsible to have holiday barbecues today. Still, the bad weather, thanks to the typhoon, may make this a moot point. Yep, stay indoors, kick back, relax, and eat mooncakes with friends and family.
