I live in Birmingham, Michigan, with my husband Kyle, our son Nathan and our daughter Evelyn. The blog is named for our late dog Pete, a Rhodesian Ridgeback who died in 2014. Late in 2015, we returned to the US after living five years overseas (Seoul, South Korea and Königstein im Taunus, Germany).

Happy Chuseok!


Think of it as Thanksgiving. 
Jesa, a type of Korean ancestor veneration held on Chuseok 

Chuseok (추석), is a major harvest festival and a three-day holiday celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar. As a celebration of the good harvest, Koreans visit their ancestral hometowns and share a feast of Korean traditional food.



Kyle ready for work!
Most businesses, including GMDAT, are closed for the coming week. Kyle has the week off, and since we just got here we're going to be "tourists in our own town." That should make for some good posts! 
Traditional market
One of the many courses of a
traditional Korean meal.
(Don't worry, Kyle didn't eat that fish in the middle)

    Yummmmm kimchi and Korean BBQ! (Though I'm sure that even in NYC, it's hard to come by authentic BBQ and my idea of Korean food is completely off...) I hope that you're enjoying your newlywed life and all that South Korea has to offer. Congratulations to you and Kyle!

    Oh, and I saw someone in a shirt that said "Bitely" on my way back from the gym and I thought of the amazing times at Pettibone and the Bupp fish who were under siege on one particular weekend...
