年饼（四款）CNY Cookies (4 types)

现在很多人都在倒数农历春节的到来吧？
在澳洲这个时候，很多人都会扑在学校，因为是孩子们新学期的开始。
载送孩子的任务又开始了。
今天有点寂寞，家里只剩下我一个人。
也好，这样我才有时间整理一下照片上贴子。
虽然说这里的农历新年并不比家乡的热闹，
但是随着大量的外来移民，特别是中国大陆的人们；
西澳的春节不再那么的冷清和无聊。
华人商店的年货更是应有尽有；看得我眼花缭乱。
年饼还是自己做，本来只想做几样过过瘾；
结果是越做越起劲，还自告奋勇帮朋友做。
接下来的这个星期我空闲了，只剩下黄梨饼就收工。
家里也大扫除了，这一环节本来是要省掉的；
但还是过不了自己那一关。
怪不得朋友说：Jane，你真的是不可以坐diam-diam.
呵呵。。。这就是我咯，改不了的。
