We acknowledged, though did not quite outright celebrate, two separate holidays today: Rosh Hashanah and Moon Festival (or Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival, on Sept. 12 this year). Tonight is the beginning of the Jewish New Year, often celebrated with apples and honey to bring sweetness in the new year. We had yogurt sundaes to kick off dinner! Then, after dinner, we had traditional Chinese moon cakes filled with white lotus seed paste.
The kids liked the yogurt better.
L'shanah tovah!
And see if you can spot the Moon Rabbit, because, while Westerners see the "man in the moon," Asians often see a hare. . . . (if it's not raining where you are tonight!)
I've heard of rain...I think we used to get it here.
