Chinese for Chuseok Eve

3.0

by me (and JS)

at the cabin

-Changchon, Seowon, Hoengseong, Gangwon, Republic of Korea-

with the Family, Mom & Dad, maternal kin

As per (maternal-side) family tradition, we are celebrating Chuseok at the cabin, including a pre-dinner the evening before (which is kinda redundant because the people are mostly the same).

I am very proud of preparing the mise en place for a large scale Chinese spread (see also 13.192 Mise en Place à la Chinoise).

Last year, JS and I combined to serve an Italian spread for the pre-dinner (see 13.248 Caprese Salad with Smoked Salmon), so this year we went Chinese (see also 4.257 Chuseok à la Chinoise).  I made buchu & eggs, hofan, and mapa doufu.  He made stir-fried seafood and beef & peppers with steamed buns.  It was all good.
