Last week was Chuseok, one of the two main Korean holidays. Chuseok is a lot like American Thanksgiving, celebrating a bountiful harvest, but also honoring their ancestors and family. And, since we all like to eat and we've come to be each other's Korean family, and one of the two days was on a Monday, which is a night we always get together to watch the latest episode of Downton Abbey, we decided to have a little Korean potluck while we watched our show. Best. Idea. Ever.
Desiree steamed some meat dumplings, Diane made some fried zucchini, I made kimchi pancakes and the Husteds made different kinds of fried vegetables like Diane's, my favorite Korean noodle dish japchae, a famous Korean beef dish called bulgogi and a tofu and mushroom soup with fermented soybean paste as the base. We ate like kings and queens while watching a show about the English nobility circa 1920.
