Thanksgiving: part 2








It feels so weird that Thanksgiving was only last week.  It's sunny and pretty warm here in Boston this week. 

What?! 

It contributes to the feeling that all that turkey and gravy and potatoes feels like it was forever ago... it's like Summer here, and not a day away from December. 
I'm not sure what's happening...

Thanksgiving Day was so wonderful and happy. My Mom, Dad, sister + husband all together was soooo much fun.  
We don't have very many traditions. just a few:
we play a Korean game called "yut" (pronounced "yoot")
my dad cooks the turkey
i do the potatoes
Yunnie does the stuffing, gravy, random stuff. 
then we just improvise after that.

This year, because we had a new member to the family, we changed things up a little bit: 
we made pies!! 
Nelson made one and I made one:
the battle of: 
traditional apple [Nelson] vs. layered pumpkin toffee cheesecake [Me]
we voted... Nelson's won. 
it's ok. we established that because we're married, if one wins, so does the other. :)
We also played games and games of Pounce [about 15 games......] 
we've kind of always been big fans of the game. and my husband agreed to it (which includes a lot of cheating strategy) back on that lovely April day. Thanks, love.

a happy, happy Thanksgiving.

early valentine's...


I made raspberry honey butter (the original recipe calls for strawberry, but we had raspberries in our fridge so I substituted) last night and we ate it on toast after dinner.
the color looked peeeeeerfect for Valentine's... and toast can be manipulated into any shape as long as you have good tiger teeth like us....
so i made a heart. 
I know what I'll be making come Feb. 14 next year!
