happy new year!

We are well into the new year and with that came a whirlwind of work and blogging fell a bit to the wayside.

We said good-bye to 2015 with failed molecular gastronomy, good friends, selfies, caviar and, of course, champagne!

New Year's Day we were up bright and early to celebrate Gus's parents. Traditionally, you eat rice cake soup, don your hanboks, and bow to your elders, who in return usually give you some cash.

When told to bow, J2 says "I can't!"

 

Then after only moderate complaining, I got Gus to take me to see the Star Wars movie. He had already seen it opening night and wasn't sure he wanted to see it again. Not a true fan, apparently. I, however, loved it. Who knew?

Happy 2016! With the holidays over - next came my birthday week plus a few days ... stay tuned.
