Hi everyone!
I hope you all enjoyed a fantabulous (fantastic + fabulous) weekend! It sounds like many of you had a blast at Disneyland. My favorite rides are the Haunted Mansion and the Indiana Jones ride. This week's question is pretty straightforward:
What's your favorite holiday food memory?
In the U.S., holidays are all about the food! We have turkey on Thanksgiving, ham on Easter, barbecue on the Fourth of July. We eat well, that's for sure! But one of my favorite holiday food memories is actually related to a Korean tradition. The New Year's Day is a pretty important holiday tradition. Our family gathers with my dad's side of the family to eat, play traditional Korean games, and receive money and blessings from the adults. Although our relatives are all pretty busy, this is one tradition we've kept for nearly two decades. Traditional foods eaten on this day include rice cake and dumpling soup, braised short ribs (aka galbi), various Korean pancakes, and rice cakes. More important than the food (which is pretty incredible), though, is the gathering of family. These memories of food represent, to me, times of closeness, laughter, and spending time with cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. What about you?
You already write everything I want to write. we both have new year, which has more kinks of food. Ohh, now I have nothing to write.
