chilled crabs and dumplings

wow, yesterday we had chilled crabs for dinner. that was the first time i ate chilled crabs. the crab meat was really fresh. the meat was more 结实 than those black pepper ones or chilli ones. but i think it takes a lot of effort to get rid of any 腥味.

tomorrow would be 端午节 according to my mum. i dunno. she spent the whole day making all those dumplings. think she made around 90 pieces. that's a lot. giving away around 70 pieces; to my father's company for prayers, to my aunt, to my neighbour, to my grandma... i haven't eaten a whole piece yet, only got to pinch a little from a sample dumpling. well, i think i am going to eat one tomorrow, but i have to work out a little bit more after that...
