Making zongzi

I've been anticipating this year's Dragon Boat festival because I really want to go home and have some Zongzi that my mother makes. Making Zongzi is one of my family's traditions, but the preparation of making zongzi takes a lot of work. First, we have to make rice and peanuts fully mixed and half-cooked in the pan. Second, prepare meat, mushroom, eggs, and chestnuts. Third, wash all the bamboo leaves, and dry them. Lastly, wrap the ingredients with the leaves! I admired my mother and grandmother for making delicious zongzi and other delicious cuisine. Although they are not famous chefs, but in my heart they make the best dishes! I thought to myself while eating zongzi, I'm going to learn how to make zongzi and pass this delicious tradition to my children!
