my korean thanksgiving.

hello all! yesterday we had our korean thanksgiving. there were americans, frenchman, and canadians consuming the food. unfortunately, there were around 20 people, so the food we accumulated wasn't in extremes, but it was just right i'd say. poor ole' sara didn't even get any chicken. BUT. i made some KILLEr mashed potatoes! (sara helped) the following was my evening in pictures.

1. this is my christmas decoration! isn't he cute! i love him. and he makes my apartment smell delectable! 

2. me cooking my mashed potaotes. oh yes, even with a christmas mit.

1. mike and christine were nice enough to let us have it at their home - this was the view! SPECTACULAR!

2. and then there's elizabeth, my artistic friend who likes to clean. i say aside from the art degree, she and sara are one in the same with their anal cleaning. :)

1. full house i'd say! full house! thank goodness for heated flooring!

2. it's not a korean thanksgiving without the rice cooker goin'...

1. a little bit of sangria can make anyone's thanksgiving merry.

2. these are lauren's SWEET sweet potatoes! they were scrumptious... and even from looking at them you gain a kilogram.

1. it is also not thanksgiving in korea if you don't take off your shoes before stepping in the door. oh yes. i like that! (but only when i wear my slip-ons)

2. going around saying what we are all thankful for (mom, i mentioned you and the family. and chums, i mentioned you as well)

3. a special cheers to the people who went back home (barb and greg)

my thanksgiving was delectable. coke zero (zero, zero seven), mashed potatoes, chicken, and corn. (i couldn't afford to buy and ketchup... i know, i know. i am a cheap-o. but i DID pretend that there was ketchup on 'em)

and this was the beautiful beautiful view on the way home. the bridge lit blue every few minutes and the reflections on the ocean was something spectacular! 

so that, in a nutshell, was how i spent my korean thanksgiving. it was nice to meet some new faces from different countries and to show them how we'd usually celebrate our holiday. minus the whole, turkey, taking off your shoes, and pumpkin pie with whipped cream bit. it lasted for around 6 hours. the cooking, the eating, and the playing of games. everyone went out afterwards, but i was beat. so i came home, watched a movie, spoke to my motha, and slept 'til noon! wahoo! 

and now sara and i are going to go take on one of the numerous mountains! yipee-ky-ay-aye. 

much love,
