Guests!
The aftermath
13 apples to go… or, time for another party.
K-snacks from Seoul (Insadong)
I had this idea a year ago that I would have many people over to my house for all kinds of meals. I bought extra plates and cups and silverware for this. It never happened. Occasionally, Linda, my neighbor friend came over for some takeout pizza, but i never had to bust out the pots, pans, plates, and prepare a meal. I almost held a English teacher party in the spring but i rainchecked it at the last minute.
One year later…the first party. Yes, a small party of three, but a successful dinner at the Girod residence. I invited Korean teacher friends Debbie aka Kyeong-soon and Myeong-yun. I prepared a pulgogi meal. Debbie brought over a box apples and Myeong-yun some traditional Korean snacks of sesame seeds, peanuts and pumpkin seeds. The pulgogi was OK, apples were awesome, and the K-snacks were not sweet. As usual, are conversation was slurry mixture of Korean and English, repeated phrases, I’m sorries, [molagos], and some, ah…OK i understand nows [arahseo]! It was fun and probably more so for my guests. They seemed quite curious to see the inside an American home.
Next week: party number 2!
