Happy Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoy your time with friend and family.
Right before the Fall term starts I was lucky enough to have snowskin mooncake from my friends. She was thinking about potluck ideas to share the culture from our country, and she ended up making something realted to Mid-Autumn Moon Festival. The feedback from my american friend was not too sweet. To me it tastes just right. Thanks for sharing the ice mooncake with me.

Recently I noticed that learning curve takes time to overcome challenges.
Most of the time I put chicken into the oven to get the main dish ready, but it takes at least 30 minutes to have the chicken all done.
When I am in a hurry, I put chicken with bell pepper on the stove. It turned out ok.
