For my best friends:

你們一定會白頭偕老,永浴愛河,嘻嘻哈哈,你知道我繼續就會用錯成語。

所以祝你們,每天能一起禱告,每週能一起上教會,每個月能一起吃鼎泰豐,每年能更愛對方! xo!

Dumpling Date Night

First, I want to thank UN for making dumplings with me despite having slept for only three hours the night before (he got called in around midnight). 

首先,感謝UN昨晚睡不到3小時(凌晨被醫院叫進去看病人),又上了一整天班,卻還是願意陪我做水餃!

Very unusual of me to buy dumpling ingredients, and I even bought carrot juice to make orange dumpling skins. (Halloween theme!)

Friends who know me know that I don’t enjoy eating dumplings, but I get a satisfaction from watching others make dumplings. One of my favorite YouTube channel Peaceful Cuisine has a video out teaching how to make dumplings. Watching it over and over again is so therapeutic for me. 

不知道哪根筋不對,竟然到軍營裡的超市買水餃料,還買了胡蘿蔔汁讓水餃皮變橘色!

跟我熟識的朋友們都知道,我不是特別愛吃水餃,但很愛看人做水餃。我最喜歡的是Peaceful Cuisine的無配樂水餃影片。他每個做菜影片我都愛,不吵有秩序,滿足我輕微強迫症的慾望。

Dumplings recipe: skin 9 grams, stuffings 11 grams, with cabbage, mushroom and ground beef. Conclusion: my wrists hurt, kitchen is in disarray, don’t want to eat dumplings anymore! (Sigh)

 今天做的水餃,皮9克,餡11克(以為自己鼎泰豐),內餡是白菜香菇牛肉。做完感想:手酸,廚房亂,不想吃水餃了。(崩潰中)

Visit Peach State

Our friends in Atlanta, GA!

Our friends in Atlanta, GA!

A last minute decision to come to Atlanta for the long weekend. Cleaned the house Saturday morning (a road trip routine), got an oil change, packed our luggage and hit the road to head down south! A 9-hour drive, only briefly stopped in Charlotte, NC for a quick bite. Exhausted by the end of the day, but seeing our dear friends and eating authentic Korean food was all worth it!

這趟真的猛!週五晚上和UN的朋友聊天後,決定開車來喬治亞州找他。週六一早把家裡整理乾淨(每次出門前的怪癖)、換好機油、整理好行李,直接上路!九小時車程,中間短暫停留北卡。雖然累爆,但見到朋友們的開心感加上能吃到好吃韓國料理,疲憊全消!

We probably overstuffed ourselves every meal, didn’t even skip dessert. Everything that we couldn’t eat but craved for back in Norfolk, we ordered!

我們餐餐吃超飽,甜點當然不能放過。只要在我們那吃不到的、想吃的,全部都吃過一次(好滿足啊!)

 
 
After 9-hour drive, we finally got to Atlanta, GA!
