Brief Respite

While we earmarked this past weekend for cleaning the new Crystal Springs house and unboxing all of the items from T's old place, we did manage to steal away an evening with friends down in the South Bay. We met up at the lively outdoor plaza at Santana Row and slowly made our way to a tiny Korean restaurant in a nondescript corner of the El Camino Real corridor. Suzie, our local food expert, ordered more than a table full of hearty dishes and soups. The naengmyun (cold buckwheat noodles in a light broth) was especially good as were the homemade mandu (potsticker dumplings). And as a sign of just how busy everyone has been lately, we "caught up" and celebrated two belated birthdays and one belated four-year wedding anniversary. Definitely a much needed respite from our weeklong battle with boxes.
