It’s the New Year!

Instead of making one of my New Years resolution,  to blog more, I am just going to do it! I have made my mind to make 2014 my year!! It’s all about a change in perspective with a little motivation right?

Most Koreans like to make dumplings for the New Years. Dumplings are to Koreans like tamales are to mexicans. Sadly, I did not have time to make any this year, but I did make the soup on New Years day (without the dumplings, of course). This recipe is called tteok gook (rice cake soup). With the dumplings it is called tteok mandoo gook (rice cake, dumpling sop).

This recipe is based on this link here and my mother’s.

Cross Country Road Trip! Part 1

Eddie and I have finally moved into our new place in Pennsylvania and we are starting to get settled in. Here’s our story of the road trip from San Jose, California to Hershey, Pennsylvania in pictures.

Home Sweet Home

The most comfortable place on earth is home. We had a chance to spend a week at the homes we grew up in and it was so relaxing.

Eddie and I spent the first three days at his parent’s home in San Jose, Ca. During that time we went to an outdoor shopping mall called Santana Row and ate lunch at Pluto’s.

Dinner Party!
