汤圆


在大家都高喊Merry Christmas之际,我却在烦着如何搞定这星期日的冬至。由于家里有供奉神明,Caryn外婆一早已千叮万嘱,记得要搓汤圆,来庆冬至。
老爱吃甜食的我,却对汤圆没多大的兴趣,可能是因为老妈的厨艺有限,这么多年来,煮的汤圆都是最简单的那种,什么豆沙,黑芝麻,花生,红豆的馅统统不用想。
这一年的冬至,搓汤圆这玩意儿,该是我大展身手的时候了,希望能找一些食谱,看看有哪些汤圆较简单但却有新意的。
这时,想起老人家常说冬大过年,其实,是基于什么由来呢?不知有谁能告知我吗?

哗!汤圆!原来你也爱吃甜食。我也超爱!
哎呀!SK,自己做,感觉不同嘛。

err...妈妈常说,过了冬,就大一岁。不是,过年后大一岁。

现在,我住在冷冷的加拿大,开始有一点点领悟。冬天是很难捱过的,我想尤其在古代没暖气。那时,如果,人们 (尤其小孩)可捱得过冬天,那么接下来的日子就不难了。所以,过得了冬,就代表真的大一岁。所以嘛,过年大过冬啰!

This is only my own theory, never research it. So, don't quote me ...hahaha...
