Presentation
-Surrealist painting
Metamorphosis
by Vladimir Kush
​
​
I see many things in the painting. There is moon, river, boat, two people, many clouds and hills. The moon is hidden behind the clouds. The light of the sky lit up the clouds and the people. The clouds are shaped like a hot air balloon. Two people are sitting together on the top of the hill to see the distance. The boat is rowed slowly across the river.
I think the painting means that love relationships. When two people overcome difficulties together for their future, they will feel happy. It is the beauty of love. The people in the painting may also imagine their future. The hot air balloon carry their dreams far away. It is their best moment.
I like it, because the color of the painting is very soft. When I see it, I feel comfortable and quiet. It can also clam me down and remind me of good things.
-Food - Mooncakes
A mooncake is a Chinese bakery product traditionally eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The festival is about Moon watching, and mooncakes are regarded as an indispensable delicacy. Mooncakes were originally used to offer sacrifices to the god of the moon. Later, people gradually took the Mid-Autumn Festival to appreciate the moon and taste the mooncakes as a symbol of family reunion. Mooncakes have also become festival gifts.
There are two types of mooncakes:
Typical mooncakes are round pastries. They consist of a thick, tender pastry skin enveloping a sweet, dense filling, and may contain one or more whole salted egg yolks in their center as the symbol of the full moon. There are many types of filling in traditional mooncakes: Red bean paste, Five kernels, and Salted egg yolk.

Over time, both the crusts and the composition of the fillings of mooncakes have diversified. People break the traditional appearance of mooncakes to make more delicious and beautiful mooncakes. For example, Snow skin mooncake, chocolate mooncake.

How to make it:
There are four main parts:
-
We need to do the fillings that you like.
-
Use flour to make mooncake skins.
-
Fold the fillings into the skin, then press them with the mooncake mold.
-
Finally, brush the top of the mooncakes with egg mixture and put them in the oven until cooked.
Why do I like it:
My favorite is five kernel mooncakes. Because there are a lot of nuts in it. When I ate them, I felt satisfied. Sweet food always makes me happy. On the other hand, I also enjoy eating mooncakes and watching the moon with my family and friends. I think maybe this is the main meaning of mooncakes.
