It was a dark and stormy night. So of course one thinks of Korean food. We love the intimate family style of this restaurant. The owner always takes time to help us with the menu. We started with the pre-dinner chopstick practicing. I got my usual egg cracked into a bubbling pot of stuff and Jeff got the fish. A whole fish. And he liked it. Jasmine and I spent the rest of dinner trying not to look.
Jeff got this ad in the mailbox advertising a new restaurant; claiming to have “boardwalk fries” and even naming it the restaurant. Now Jeff literally worked on the boardwalk at Rehobeth Beach, DE making such fries so the bar was set pretty high. While they were not quite at the level one expects on an east coast boardwalk, the fries were pretty darn good. And they also had the new programmable soda machine with a touch screen. You can now pick say, Mt Dew and add vanilla to it (why one would do that, I have no idea, but you could if you wanted to.) Can flying cars really be that far behind? With all that power I still got a diet coke, but I went a little wild and added cherry to it. Jasmine went crazy with the Fanta option.
After so much walking in the cold at Zoo Lights, we had worked up quite an appetite. Brian and Pattie took us to one of their favorite pizza places. The pizza hit the spot and the girls had fun clowning around with Jeff and the camera.
Once again the annual holiday light extravaganza at the zoo did not disappoint. Although grandma was sick and did not brave the cold, Destiny and her mom and dad (Patty and Brian) joined us. The pictures don’t do it justice, but we took a lot trying to capture it all.
One of mother’s Christmas gifts to Jeff was a seafood dinner. He took total advantage of that gift. The captain’s plate, I think they call it, full of the bounty of the sea. He was happy. Jasmine took advantage of the opportunity and got….chicken strips and fries. Well, you can never go wrong with the classics.
