Of course in doing so I almost come with a fantasy about it, when the reality was very different.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12095625947716520270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27449958.post-23115647348610197842008-09-18T06:44:00.000-07:002008-09-18T06:44:00.000-07:00Doesn't mooncake sound "delightful"?!

There is most definately always a niggling at the back of the mind I think when one of parents is from a different country/culture; I think this is even more common living in California.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12095625947716520270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27449958.post-59078214088742490892008-09-18T00:53:00.000-07:002008-09-18T00:53:00.000-07:00Moon cake is such a wonderful name! it's great tha...Moon cake is such a wonderful name! it's great that you tried some even if it wasn't so good. <BR/><BR/>It must be wonderful having a rich background. I can identify to some extent in that I have a whole Irish side to my family that I don't know at all and wouldn't really even know how to contact.

I actually really identify with you... My mother is from Panama and I don't know very much about that side of my family and it always niggles at the back of my mind. I'm glad you were able to experience the mooncake- even if it wasn't that nice... which is a shame because "mooncake" sounds so delightful!The Daily Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13843902889491327636noreply@blogger.com
