MID AUTUMN FESTIVAL IS 9/22!!

I can very vaguely recall the story my mom would tell me when I was little about a woman who lives on the moon and somehow a rabbit is there with her. Google says the story of Chang'e, the moon goddess, is that she drank a potion of immortality and was exiled to live on the moon for eternity. And then a rabbit was sent to her because she would be very lonely on the moon by herself. This holiday is actually on 8/15 on the lunar calendar and this moon is the biggest, brightest full moon of the year. Family's get together and worship the moon and pray to Chang'e. Prayers are usually hopeful and asking for blessings for personal desires.

Sweet Tooth and Cookie Monster subscribers will get 2-3 MOONCAKES in their box this month!! Mooncakes are a delicacy and made only for this special occasion. There are many different forms of mooncakes and I grew up with the sort that have a pressed design, baked, and have a white lotus Seed filling and a salted egg yolk that represents the full moon.

Since it is customary to gift mooncakes to friends and family during this time, mooncakes will be shipped on Tuesdays starting from the 10th!! Mooncake boxes will be available for order til the end of month!
