Happy New Year, everyone!
My trip home is winding down... it was filled with shopping, sleeping in, eating, and spending time with family and friends. all under clear blue skies and warm 60-70 degree weather. I'm going to miss this... though, thankfully, I won't have to wait too long before we move back here!
I spent new years eve, like I always do- with family! We went to my aunt's house to make dumplings from scratch. SO YUMMY. As a reward to ourselves for all our hardwork, and to ring in the new year, we had the largest oysters I've ever seen. Actually, I only had one, because I'm not the biggest fan, but look at these piles:
Afterward, my sister and I watched a movie we had rented (Smart People, I think it was called...? not that memorable) and fell asleep.
The real feast, however, began on New Years Day. This is one of my all-time favorite korean dishes... jap-chae noodles! mmm. I could have eaten this entire bowl.
and ta-da! Here is the main reason I love New Years... dumpling and rice cake soup. See those beautiful perfect dumplings? They taste even better than they look!
And of course our meal wouldn't be complete without rice cakes. The one on the left is made with pumpkin. Tasty!

Shortly after ringing in the New Year, our family left for a quick weekend getaway to Ojai, California, where we gorged on more food, did some serious damage with our outlet shopping, and went on a beautiful mountain hike.
Next up, I'm going to post my 2009 resolutions!
