We got to the HMart Plaza in Duluth just in time for dinner. We usually eat at Book Chang Dong, our favorite Tofu House on the left corner of HMart Korean market. My friend wanted to eat at Chung Dam, which is on the other end. It was my first time there. I had sashimi; it was fine, except I couldn't recognize two of the fish on my platter.

Fast forward three weeks. It's now Thanksgiving week. One set of boater friends invited us to join their family gathering of over 30 members. I could not get over how efficient these people were. Everything was set up on the kitchen counter, ready to go. The garage was turned into a hall where tables were set up and festively decorated. The drinks and desserts were conveniently laid out there as well. Too bad we forgot to bring the camera:-(! We are thankful for the delicious Southern food and the great company.
The day after Thanksgiving, we rounded up the troops and had a hot pot dinner. With all the stuff we got from Atlanta - mix seafood, tofu, mung bean noodles - plus some fresh veggies like spinach and napa cabbage, and of course shrimp, sliced chicken, pork and beef.
Putting up lights and Christmas decorations, playing Christmas music. Now we're talking. 'Tis the season to be jolly.
How was your Thanksgiving and Black Friday shopping?
