I miss those days, where we kids get to roll glutinous rice flour balls....
And see our grandmothers, aunties and mom sit at a courtyard to wrap chinese rice dumplings or make love letters.
Now where can find courtyard and burn wooden furniture bits to heat up big barrel of water to boil the dumplings?

Winter solstice is always a busy time for the family.

My siblings and family members dont like eating those glutinous rice balls. So does my nephew and neice.
I am strangely the only one who likes to make them and eat them.
