We are enjoying a quiet Saturday at home. Tonight we are having dinner at a Shabu Shabu place close by to celebrate Jonathan's birthday. Shabu Shabu is soup that has a spicy (very spicy!) broth, shiitake mushrooms, potatoes, garlic, onions, greens, and very thinly sliced beef. The soup cooks on a burner at your table, and you can add the ingredients that you want. The Koreans say that you should be able to dip your beef in the broth with your chopsticks, say "Shabu, Shabu," and take the meat out to eat it. We tried it, but it needed a little more time than that. Haha...
Jon's birthday dinner was cancelled on Tuesday because Typhoon Bolaven was passing through and giving us lots of rain and wind. However, we had a nice impromptu movie night and dinner with our friends Nicole, Josh, Suzie, and Hannah. Check it out...
Have a great weekend!
Jonathan and Laura
