Stormbringer

My mother is the greatest woman on earth. She just bought champagne white chocolate mooncakes. For those of you ignorant to this great-taste-of-heaven-invention:

“The mooncake (Simplified Chinese: 月饼; Traditional Chinese: 月餅; pinyin: yuèbǐng) is a Chinese cake-like confection that is traditionally eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival, although mooncakes can be eaten at other times throughout the year as well.

Mooncakes are round in shape to symbolize the moon. According to legend, when the Mongol Yuan Dynasty ruled China in the 14th century, Chinese rebels were able to overthrow the Mongols in part because they hid secret messages inside mooncakes, which the Mongols did not eat, that were then passed around.

Most mooncakes are made of ground lotus, or of bean or seed paste, and other ingredients, occasionally with egg yolks in the centre”. Reference, Wikapedia

Anyway, swoon, slice of heaven.

And if anyone knows how to get photos from a Nokia 3220 onto a computer, I’d appreciate all the help I can get.
