Mid-Autumn Festival Home BBQ Party

The best way to celebrate Mid-Autumn festival to is gather all family members to relax and enjoy grill foods. We had a wonderful Mid-Autumn festival BBQ party on last week.

How we celebrated Mid Autumn Festival 2009 !!

This was how we celebrated Mid Autumn Festival this year, no BBQ party and no fancy mooncakes. My daughter just invited her 3 best friends to our house, I prepared some fried stuffs and jelly mooncakes (my 1st attempted making jelly mooncake, done it last minutes only).





- Grilled Buffalo Chicken Wings (marinate with McCormick Garlic & Herb Buffalo Wings seasoning mix) , fried sausages and nuggets and homemade jelly mooncakes.

-kids playing lantern..

- My first attempted doing snowskin mooncake, very ugly skin. Everyone said this is easy to do, after I experienced it, it was not as simple as I thought, the difficult part is how to well combine the shortening, cold water and Kou flour . Anyway,I will try to improve in next year only. Check out JO's recipe or Anncoo's recipe.

- Also my first attempted doing jelly mooncakes..look not bad huh..

-Greea Tea flavour jelly mooncake with red bean paste (homemade)

-Red colour jelly mooncake, with red bean paste.
