Asian Short Rib – Slower Cooker Recipe

Here’s a recipe that is a sure HOME RUN! We have 4 adults here that absolutely LOVED this dish! I would add extra veggies like mushrooms, peas and bigger chunks of carrots into the crock pot if you have one big enough!

Fun in the Snow!

For the past 4 days now, Grace has been outside with our neighbor (and her boyfriend), Wilson, sledding down hills in the middle of the street! Here are some fun photos of Grace & Dad (pulling her)! You can also see a bit of Grace’s purple hat in front of David going down the hill. Who needs to go to the ski resorts to go skiing?!?!

It’s Official – I’m back working …

I have been offered a job … as David’s assistant. Apparently I am very expensive … does that mean I get a new credit card? If I don’t respond to your emails quickly, that’s because I’m now working on projects. Blah! No pictures to post.

Snow in Seattle!

Looky here! We have our first winter snow now that we are back in Seattle. The kids (Michael, Ana, Grace, John and David) all had a blast playing out in our yard and in the snow. Needless to say, I haven’t left my house for several days. Here are some fun photos of John experiencing his first snowfall in Seattle.

John’s 1st Year Portraits

Although we were a month late, I got John in to get his portrait taken with the Korean traditional costume on. It fit! Don’t worry, Mum & Dad, they are headed your way along with Joyce & Kay’s copy. Here’s a preview of some of the fun shots from the photo shoot.

Johnny’s Dramatic Tantrum

This is so typical of how Johnny throws his tantrums. Ana was prepared with her iPhone when she deliberately took away his favorite red string. I’ve been trying to capture this shot for a very long time and she did it!

It was Johnny’s first birthday! We had the whole Hawaiian family over for the festivities! Ana dressed him up in a smart outfit (which I didn’t know I had here) and his hair was done, too! As you know, we have a low-key event, with a family meal and cupcakes. This time, though, Helen and James (now nicknamed Jalen) made a delicious banana based cupcake with a toffee chip icing … all eggless and it was oh so yummy!!!

Caterina (Cat + Ballerina)

Here’s photos of Grace (nothing of John yet) dressed up for her school’s Halloween celebration. She didn’t want to wear her costume even though she was initially excited about it. Took her to school, saw her friend Zanna come out of her car without a costume, and then Grace must have felt embarrassed for wearing one plus face paint. So she cried at the front of the school door and proceeded to rub off her face paint on her teacher’s hand. Ugh!
