A TASTE OF KOREA IN TEXAS

Good Morning, Folks...

It's been 4 months plus since I've been behind the typewriter.

My adopted daughter, Minuet in G, has been doing the blog honors.

She was new to the job, but obviously did OK.

There were lots of "hits" while she was writing.

Vannie and Dave are actually in NM,

but there was several stories I wanted to write

about before they got there...

so these next couple of blogs will

be written about activities in Texas/Louisiana.

This one is about our relatives that have

 recently moved to Keller, Tx.

Keller is in the Dallas-/Fort Worth metroplex.

It advertises itself as

"successfully balancing big-city comforts with small-town charm".

Vannie said it truly was a delightful community. 

The relatives are Brandon and Julie Honeycutt

and their two children, Hailey (4) and Spencer (1).

Brandon is Vannie's nephew.  

His mom was Susan Heard Honeycutt from Bernice, LA.

He has recently retired from the army

and is now employed in Keller.

Vannie was blessed to have attended their

wedding in South Korea several years ago.

Hailey and Spencer

Spencer has the gift...loves "playing" the piano.

An authentic Korean restaurant was in order.

Vannie said that the food was delicious, and it brought back

memories of when she in South Korea for the wedding. 

Looks like Vannie and Dave are ready to dig in.

So much food...so little time.

That big round "hubcap" in the center of the table

was the grill.  Julie was the chef of the day.

She carefully cooked the various kinds of meat (beef...bulgogi, kalbi and squid).

The sides (banchan) included rice, kimchee, cabbage with soybean paste,

steamed soft tofu with soy chili sauce, spicy bean sprout salad, 

pickled cucumber salad, tofu and egg pudding, and rustic spinach.

Dave and Spencer were enjoying the experience.

Then on to the Korean Market...

Vannie looks pretty excited about that little bite of "something"

that she just ate.

OK...Dave...what do you think?

The jury is still out on Dave's taste buds.

Everyone looks nice and full 

and ready to head for home...

I think I heard V and D mention "nap time."

Vannie and Dave are so happy Brandon and Julie

are living in Keller.  It's only about an hour

from their front door to my front door.
