This year we hosted our second ever<\/a>, family-centric Thanksgiving – and the visiting grandparents from Baltimore had their first Thanksgiving away from home since they came to the U.S. (!)\u00a0 As a result, we had twice the amount of food in our house: a full spread of Korean, home cooked favorites – which we started feasting on since Wednesday – followed by a full Thanksgiving menu on Thursday. For logistical reasons, we got a fully roasted<\/a> bird (no room in the fridge to properly prep a turkey), but took no short cuts regardless. Here is a list of the bounty:<\/p>\n

Korean: spicy chicken wings, Asian sweet potato fritters, two styles of mandoo, jap chae (with veggies, crab, and beef), bulgogi beef with broccoli, kim bop (regular- and child sized), two kinds of kimchi, radish pickles, five kinds of rice cake desserts (even home made mochi!)<\/p>\n

American: Turkey and gravy, roasted garlic mashed potatoes, candied\/brandied yams, french bean salad with vinaigrette, raw Tuscan kale salad, stuffing with chestnuts and sausage, maple roasted Brussels sprouts (and their loose leaves as crispy appetizer chips, pictured), cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, and sour cream apple pie with cinnamon crumbs … served \u00e0 la mode and with whipped cream.<\/p>\n

We’re so thankful for our family, near and far. It was a treat to spend these three days together (more pictures to come). Happy Thanksgiving!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
