So it’s Christmas Eve and I’ve spent hours cooking and cleaning around the house. I went to two different groceries because I forgot to buy some ingredients earlier and it was a battlefield out there. Long lines and people fighting over parking spaces.
Our annual Christmas dinner is always at my folks house. And since mom isn’t here until this coming Sunday, I’m in charge of the cooking. Well, originally, we were going to cater and just bring the food. But my big aunt thought that it would be more better for us if every family bring their own dish. Little does she know that’s more work for us because I would still have to cook something at least. So instead of ordering food, I am making pumpkin pie, potato salad, macaroni salad, broccoli salad, fried shrimp, and pork cutlet. Yes, i know that a lot of salad, but that’s what I’m good at. I am not really good at cooking korean food unless it’s a korean roll and that takes A LOT of time and energy.
So I already made 3 dishes and I’m about to make another one tonight. I just cleaned up the bathroom and will clean up my room. Rest is up to my dad, since my brother is completely useless at the moment.
Yesterday at work, there was a cookie swap. I just made brownie out of the box while others brought in their family recipes. I only participated because I wanted sample everyone else’s. And I made brownie because I tend to burn cookies every freaking time I bake them. So anyway, I was full of sweet yesterday. And then we were given lunch at work. We had Potbelly. Mmmm… I forgot how much I missed Potbelly. It’s hard to find Potbelly in Baltimore area and my neighborhood.
Anyway, the good news is that my mom is coming back from Korea this Sunday. Yay!!!!!
