My moon cake

It's time to celebrate mid-autumn festival again. This year, I have a cute taro moon cake (yes! that's my moon cake in the picture which I took it just right now) rather than a traditional moon cake. It is from Sheng Kee bakery. I love it because the filling of the cake is not too sweet and I just love taro. Speaking of which makes me want to drink warm taro milk tea. Eating moon cake under the moon light, and reciting poems ???? --- just too romantic.

How Do I Love Thee? (Sonnet 43)
by
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
(1806-1861)

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
