Wednesday.
Had some leftover bulgogi and a bunch of veggies, so tried making some jungol, which basically means throwing all that together into a pot, I guess? Someday I'll know better maybe. This stuff wasn't bad though, but it tasted way better 2 days later.

Went to an AK Connection-sponsored Chuseok celebration today, basically just ate some food and watched a movie, plus there was a teerrrible short little informational video about Chuseok. For some reason it had two white people with European accents doing the whole thing, and the only Korean people in it seemed to be dressed in hanbok(s?) doing traditional stuff. Karin and I had an interesting talk about why they felt it was so necessary to have white people presenting the video, when they didn't even speak very good English...
But anyway, it was hosted at a church and they were selling kimchi in giant glass jars. We didn't really need the kimchi, but we wanted to support the church, and the jar looked pretty useful, so we bought some.

Friday.
So I honestly don't remember when the exact day is (although I guess I should know things like that..), we celebrated my brother-in-law Nick's birthday today! Or I should say like, three Fridays ago.
We went out for happy hour and gave him his gifts: 1) The DVD's of Kimchi Chronicles (A PBS show on Korean food/culture), 2) the Kimchi Chronicles cookbook, 3) a bottle of soju, and 4) a squeeze bottle of gochujang, like the kind they have in restaurants for putting on bibimbap.

Saturday
So Saturday was a big day... I won the lottery! Here's my check from the Minnesota State Lottery!
No actually it's a check for... $2.00. I should have taken a picture of it, such crap. Karin got a lottery ticket for christmas or something and the first thing she scratched off said $14, so we mailed it in. We have no idea how to do lottery stuff... but then we got a check back for $2.00! What the heck?? We have no idea. The letter helpfully included information on how lottery money is taxed, too, excellent.
Also on Saturday... I made bibimbap for the 2nd time! I think it doesn't look quite as good as the first time.. but I didn't get a good picture of that one. Also there's no beef in this one. But still!
Maybe that's too many cat pictures haha, but I thought it was significant, first time and we've had them for like 7 months or something now. Anyway I will probably keep taking lots of pictures of the cats anyway, they're super cute!

Lastly, Saturday was the first time that Quimby had ever fallen asleep on my lap...
