Dessert

Last night we had tangyuan 汤圆 for dessert to celebrate dongzhi 冬至 -
the winter solstice. Tangyuan are balls of glutinous rice flour
filled with sweet sesame paste which are prepared by boiling them in
sugar water. Ours had been in the freezer too long, so they were a
little dried out and had a faint gin fragrance (from a leaking bottle
in the freezer that had gone unnoticed until last night), but one of
the bags was pretty good.
