Hello! It's been awhile, hasn't it? I thought I'd just pop in to say a quick hello and share a few snippets from life lately, even if I don't have a new recipe to share. First, the big news--we are, in fact, expecting another baby bowl. It's going to be another little girl! This pregnancy has been rougher than the previous two combined, but ...
Life
we’re renovating!
I mentioned earlier this year that we took the scary but thrilling leap of buying a house for the first time. What an adventure that was. We saw what felt like every house for sale in LA, spent what felt like half our summer driving to open houses, and just when we were convinced we were never going to find a house we wanted and that we could ...
three
Our baby is three! That must be some kind of mistake, right? In the last year, we've become the parents of a full-on tiny person. One year ago he just repeated "Happy birthday!" (or, "Ha poopy!") back at us when we said it to him, but this year he understands that birthdays mean cake and parties. He's been running around chirping "Lukie ...
clara’s 100 days
It's been 100 days with my Clara girl! (Well, more like 115.) Like we did with Luke, we celebrated Clara's 100 days with her baptism and a teeny tiny baek-il with family. We had red bean steamed rice cake, pat tteok, and pretty pastel song pyeon; I made the excellent double-vanilla cake from Tessa Huff's new ...
baby bowl: round 2!
Hi from Clara Young! Just like that, it's already been a month--four weeks of vanilla-scented newborn cuddles, milk drunk faces, swaddle blankets and Lilliputian diapers. Like her brother, she came into the world with a head full of hair, a button nose, and powdery soft cheeks. She has perfect little oval fingernails (on spidery long fingers, my ...
2018
Can it really be 2019 already? We've spent our last week of 2018 on the couch or in the kitchen (or scattering toy trucks from one end of the house to the other, one guess as to who is doing what), thoroughly unwinding and nonstop eating and generally super enjoying ourselves, and I hope you have been too. ...
a thanksgiving round-up and some news
It's a baby musubi--for a baby musubi! Now that A Common Table has been out in the world for almost a month (phew), I can finally tell you all about this little secret we've been holding onto. B4 is on the way! This time, we're having a little girl--and we could not be more excited. Or bewildered. How does one raise these "little girls" you speak ...
a common table is out!
a common table: events and preorder fun!
Hi friends! Just popping in to share a few cookbook-related tidbits now that there's just one week (!!) to go until A Common Table is out in the world! It still doesn't feel totally real, despite the whole box of copies that arrived last week for giveaways (more on that starting this Friday!) but in the meantime, here are some details on goodies ...
a common table: book trailer!
_ Oh my goodness, we have a trailer! If you've been around for awhile, you might remember that it's B2 who likes to tinker with video every now and again. This has been his recent labor of love, and I'm so excited to share it with you. There's more coming about the book in the next few weeks, including some goodies for those of you who have ...
