Every time the Chinese New Year arrives, I always want to steam a rice cake or a fermented cake to wish my family good fortune and blessings; during the Lantern Festival, I really crave a bowl of warm, sesame-filled glutinous rice balls to warm myself up; when I'm close to my loved one, I'd love to give them a chocolate cake symbolizing sweetness; when Wang Ming visits the graves, I always see my mother busy preparing red turtle pastries and grass seed pastries; during the hot Dragon Boat Festival, my nose is often filled with the aroma of zongzi; during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I enjoy eating salted egg yolk mooncakes and mung bean cakes while admiring the bright moon; in the lively Ghost Festival, let's make pumpkin pies together to celebrate Halloween; with a grateful heart, I bake a turkey pie to thank God for His blessings; in the cold month of December, I'd love to prepare Christmas fruit bread with my friends and family to spend a lively and colorful Christmas!
