According to Wikipedia, 'The Winter Solstice occurs exactly when the earth's axial tilt is farthest away from the sun at its maximum of 23° 26'. Though the Winter Solstice lasts only an instant in time, the term is also colloquially used as Midwinter or contrastingly the first day of winter to refer to the day on which it occurs. More evident to those in high latitudes, this is the...' bla bla bla. Like i care. All i know is, Winter Solstice / 冬至 means 汤圆 ( tangyuan )! And according to online translators, 汤圆 is referred as sweet dumplings served in soup or just sweet dumplings.
And just like every year, the trio made tangyuan! ( I'm still not used to calling it sweet dumplings okay. )
The flour. White, pink and peach/orange/whatever colour that's called. ( Looks like shit, literally? The peach one. )
Tangyuan! ( I'm not writing in chinese 'cause maybe some of your comps can't read chinese. I'm being considerate! =D )
Tangyuan in boiled water. Apparently those who float are okay for consuming.
Fun fact for you: Demons can make tangyuan! ;D
The red bean soup that's gona go with our tangyuan.
For amusement! Mr.Tortoise is done! *laughs* Cute? There's eyes and pattern on it's back too. (:
I made one every year. Actually i was lazy to make one for this year, but mum asked me to. Rofl.
Mr.Tortoise still sinking. ( Hope you can see it. ) The other cooked tangyuan are waiting obediently for the king. *grins*
Mr.Tortoise cooked! Doing a belly flop.
Damn, it's seriously cute. ( Note: Pic edited by KengSeng, 'cause he has photoshop sobs. Thanks! )
Mini game: Can you spot Mr.Tortoise? ( Okay i'm being insane.. But do have a try. =P )
Mr.Tortoise had its bath in the red bean soup. Ready to be eaten!
Lastly, Happy Winter Solstice everyone! Enjoy your tangyuan with your family or friends. (:
