Duck Dinner

By Marty, May 9, 2010 1:06 pm

Just a little Sunday evening spread here. We had gone to the park in the afternoon and let the dogs run for a bit.  Afterward, we came back to the house, cleaned up and went to a famous duck restaurant near our neighborhood.  I love the Korean style dinner, with dozens of little side dishes – far from the the meat-starch-veggie routine of western meals.

In the center is a small gas stove cooking a red-pepper infused dish of cabbage, onion, garlic and duck. On the far back right side of the table is a bowl of dong-dong ju, a rice punch that has a bit of punch to it. We had two bowls of that (which is drunk from a bowl as well) and we all got lit.

With us is Su-ki(r) and Ok-dong, both doing the Korean wave. MyeongHee, half in the bag already, tries to act cool. Don’t believe it. The waitress took the above picture and somehow blurred it. The one below I took, and has a little better focus although Su-ki is waving herself out of focus.

That was our Mother’s day, although they don’t have such a thing here. It was Parent’s Day yesterday and Children’s Day on Wednesday. Here’s to everyone having a super-dee-duper Mother’s Day back home.
