Qingyu in the kitchen?

Yesterday was Winter Solstice(冬至). I had no idea until Zoe came home and was like its winter now, we have to eat 湯圓(tangyuan). So we had some sesame seed and peanut butter dumplings. The black sesame ones pwn. She also gave me some tea with flowers in it. I asked what kind of flowers were in it and she said 菊花 ju hua? which translates to chrysanthemum.

Also yesterday I helped Laslzo make chili, which was pretty good. And today i figured out how to use the stove without blowing up the apartment and made spaghetti. It's really the first thing I've made besides pizza bagels and tea. Yeah, I bought some mushrooms and cheese and threw that in with my Prego! sauce lol. With a piece of garlic bread dinner was done. It may not look that good in the picture, but take my word it was delicious.
