Happy Solstice (冬至快乐) !

What does this mean? We've survived a full season cycle here! This is our 2nd Solstice here! Ah... How time flies!

I'm really happy that the shortest day is finally over! The whole place goes dark at 4pm now. I'm better in adapting now, but still find this abit hard to accept. I guess we all do need plenty of photosynthesis.

This time round, I couldn't get the soy drink with peanuts (花生仁汤) :( So I had to prepare the soup from scratch, which wasn't too difficult, and it taste good.

If you want, the recipe is here. I also added 2 slices of ginger and used palm sugar which is much more flavorful than the normal sugar.

Looking forward to longer days. Yippee!
