Moon Cake with a slice out

Ooh, this looks very good!

Photo note:

"It's time for Mid Autumn Festival and moon cakes abound! From a Western point of view -- they are neither moon like nor cake like.
The traditional Moon Cakes, they are not sweet and have two whole eggs (yolks in tact) in them as shown above in the slice. Each time I'm served a moon cake I try a piece...but I have yet to develope a taste for it.

The "New" Moon Cakes, which come in flavors like Green Tea and Mango, these, although still very Eastern in texture and flavor, are easier for me to snack upon.

Roast Duck @ New Moon Restaurant - WOW!

Roast Duck @ New Moon Restaurant - WOW!, originally uploaded by Yutai *.

This is because of the New Moon movie coming out. Am I seeing it? I haven't even read the books.

Photo note:

"Holy crap, this was an incredible roast duck. I am not srue it can get better then this.

You know how sometimes you think you love duck, and in your mind it tastes so damn good, but once you actually get some duck, it tastes a lot less good in reality?

The duck here tastes as good as it has ever tasted in my mind.

Big ups to Pierre for welcoming me into the city by giving me an awesome awesome meal my third day here.

Nothing hits the spot like a freshly-made homemade

Brown Sugar Apple Pie
(Cynthia considers gas)

Listen to Steve groan with pleasure as he takes a bite. Get with the program and pledge to eat local for Thanksgiving. See our new Cookus/Amazon Store where we have about 50 carefully selected books and cookware items. Maybe early gift-shopping?

Folks have been leaving us some kind and supportive comments. We eat them up like apple pie. Keep interrupting us with more!

Fairy Bread by Robert Louis Stevenson

Come up here, O dusty feet!
Here is fairy ready to eat.
Here in my retiring room,
Children, you may dine
On the golden smell of broom
And the shade of pine;
And when you have eaten well,
Fairy stories hear and tell.

A Poem of Soup

Günter Grass, written in 1977 about when he was wounded as a tank gunner of the German Wehrmacht sent to meet the Red Army in 1945:

I was standing at the edge
of the road to Spremberg
and eating peas with a spoon
with my seventeen years
and a mess tin in my hand
similar to the one my granddaughter L has on a trip with the Scouts
a grenade exploded
the soup spilt
but I got away
only a little scratched
but happy.

Biscuits and Gravy

Got these this morning at Pine State Biscuits. Very worth the half + hour wait outside. We got lucky, and got a table at which to enjoy our breakfast. More later. . .

Biscuit

by Jane Kenyon

The dog has cleaned his bowl
and his reward is a biscuit,
which I put in his mouth
like a priest offering the host.

I can't bear that trusting face!
He asks for bread, expects
bread, and I in my power
might have given him a stone.
