Andrew and I had a little time off for the holidays this year. Christmas Eve we had off, and decided to spread a little Christmas cheer to our Jinyeong friends Kang and Glen. The weekend before we picked up some rose wine from Home Plus and a bag of cookie flower along with vanilla, and chocolate chips. Of course the directions were in Korean, and to add a little twist on top of that, everything was in grams. We don't have a scale to measure the ingredients with, so using Andrew's great googling skills we attempted to convert grams to ml. We didn't do the greatest job but at least the cookies were edible. I also discovered that soup bowls were not going to be big enough to mix all the ingredients together (the flower alone was 1000 grams) so we had to resort to the largest thing we owned - a frying wok. And then after all that, we cooked 6 cookies at a time in our little toaster oven - Tom. ( I felt our toaster oven deserved a name after the great work he did this weekend, along with our ironing board - Frank, and the Hush Puppie dog - George)

Mixing: 400g of butter, 3 cups of sugar (1/2 of required),
10x more than required buttered-flavored vanilla, 3 eggs |

Andrew's Blog. He took a lot of the photos from our Christmas Season, and was nice enough to share them so I could post them on my blog. I was too busy cooking and washing dishes the whole time to get too many photos, so I am grateful that at least Andrew was able to document our Korean Christmas. -Thanks! And Merry Christmas
