From Days Past

Some time last summer, we were invited into the home of one of the Korean Warrant Offiers that David works with.  He and his wife served up a delicious meal of kimchi, bibimbap, and the best bulgogi I have ever eaten.

The kids sitting at a traditional Korean table.

They really liked the food too.

But what they really liked was their pet rabbit.

After supper they took us to their farm.  He plans on farming after he retires from the Korean Army.

I was totally not prepared to be hiking around a muddy farm (in my high heeled sandals), but we made the best of it!

Even though we had just had our fill of delicious food, we got to pick and eat all the peaches we wanted to.

Before leaving their home, they gave us a gift of a huge jar of honey - I wasn't sure just how we were could possibly use all of it. And then I tasted it.  He has his own bees, and has the best honey we have ever eaten!  David has offered to help him harvest his honey this year, and we've already requested a couple more jars of this honey so we have plenty to take back to the States with us when it comes time for us to leave. 

We did have them over a few months later and I served them up some good ol' Mexican food.  I toned down my pico de gallo a tad worried that they might think it was too hot, forgetting that as Koreans they ate their share of really spicy food too!
