Winter Solstice

After what seems like many months, I still miss the glutinous rice dumpling （汤圆）my mother made for winter solstice （冬至）last year.

I had never fancied these soft, round stuff since young and had felt forced-fed all along. I always saw it as a chore to gobble them down as I never thought them delicious.

But last year, my mother used a different brand for the glutinous flour, and she herself could not believe that she made such soft and yummy dumplings.

I wolfed down one bowl of them (shown below) on the spot and packeted a small pot of them home.
