Dinner Parties & Bee Stings
Me and mama spent the day together {which means we spent a great deal of time cooking and eating together}
She made us mandu, mapo tofu, spinach soup, and a variety of banchan: spinach, anchovies, zucchini, and Korean radish.
I had shrimp po boys with spicy broccoli slaw for lunch.
and me and J were invited to a most lovely dinner party on the lake by some wonderful people who just insisted on making us an authentic Korean meal. Oh.hell.yes.
There was a dessert of 수정과 {cinnamon tea} and sugarless vegan ginger cookies!
Me and mama’s grocery haul. Pops goes positively nuts for animal crackers.
It was a fabulous day aside from the fact that I got stung twice by J’s bees. Believe it or not, this beauty lay still long enough for me to capture a shot…they’re such wonderful little things that I can’t even be upset…red, itchy, blotchy spots or not.
but the day ended on a sweet note with the teeniest tiniest flower ever and a single red rose with the longest stem I’ve ever seen.
Hope your day was sweet too!
Love and the bees knees {whatever that even means}
Your Squishy Monster ^.~
haha..my mom said “bees knees”…it meant the real deal, high quality “business”. J has bees? so u get free honey? ehehe ^^
That bee IS cute! But owie, sorry about the stings. Haven’t had one since I was little but I never want one again! What a lovely foodie day!
First time I got stung was on my toe… Right now it’s my back and shoulder, lol
I like to take baths in it…lol, I kid.
Haven’t had a bee stung me before. And hopefully it doesn’t happen in the near future. Glad you are OK
That is a wonderful way to spend the day with Mom! That po boy looks so good! Your bee picture is great. Sorry about the stings though…ouch! When I was little I was playing in some weeds and lifted up a piece of paper by a log…bees nest underneath the paper! I had like 20 stings on my legs and stomach. It ended with ice cream though, so I was fine with that
That soup looks really wonderful and full of flavour too! It sounds like you all had a really fun day (beesting notwithstanding ;)).
Bee stug me like 5 times in my life, not a nice feeling, I hope it did noty hurt too much.
animal crackers rock! I like the pink and white ones
Nice you and your Mom got to spend the day together Angie. EVERY THING looks great! Shrimp poboys are sooo tasty!! Bees are cute,lol some are allergic to their stings. My late great DAD was chewing a piece of honey comb as a boy where he was born and his family lived in the south, THE BEE WAS STILL IN it he discovered! !
Lovely rose Angie…..LOVE a good animal cracker,( So do some real animals I have discovered hee hee.
Day was good , fun , productie and no more flooding in my area. Warming up for good we hope slowly.
Have a wonderful day and evening Angie!
Love.
Les.
At least you had an awesome looking meal!
Vegan ginger snaps? What’s in ginger snaps that vegan’s can’t eat…?
Eggs
Right?
Glad to hear the flooding stopped, Les!
Meeeee too! +the ones with sprinkles!!
I feel like my mosquito bites hurt worse…eek, 5 times? I should stop my whining!
Family, food, fun …just how I like to spend my days
Ice cream, the all-healing balm, lol…reminds me to go out for some good old fashioned ice cream at some point soon–none of that non fat mess either!!
Not the funnest (should be a word,lol) experience.
When I saw the title I thought it was a recipe for a bee sting which is a bakery sweet thing here in Australia. Sorry you were talking about the real thing.
Sounds like you had a very good day.
Lol…wish it were regarding the former
Ooooh, the food looks so delish I can hardly stand it!!! And that cute little bee. I know what you mean, they are beautiful creatures, I just wish their stings weren’t so bad. But being cute does help. . .Thanks for sharing:)
Sounds like a great day, shame about the bee sting!
Looks like you had great…no amazing food, great company and fantastic day putting on the side bee stings–I hope you feel ok now!
I am loving the post, have a great weekend sweetie!
You too, Sandra!!
Not gonna get me down
I hope the little guy was ok…he was sooooo still!
Animal crackers!!!
All that food sounds so amazing, how do you make soybean sprout soup? (or is there a recipe link i’m too blind to see…) Looks delicious anyhow! Have a wonderful weekend Angie! xxx
I will do a video for it soon but there is a recipe for a soybean side under my bibimbap (mixing rice) dish
Bee stings are dangerous, be careful next time that you’re not allergic. Your day sounds fantastic with your mom.
Ouchie for the beer sting! Looks like you had fun with your mom
So cute that you had a day of cooking with your mom! Good quality time.
Smile. Aren’t days with mom the very best? And it looks like yours are mighty delicious too! Thank you so much for sharing!
I love days cooking with Mum and learning all her recipes hehe. Sorry to hear you got stung by bees – ouch!
Poor you, got stung by a bee! And you have such a great attitude about it! I can imagine what a great time you had with your mom, cooking and eating!
I hope your bee sting is better now. I remember telling my youngest when she was about three to just sit still and the bees wouldn’t sting her. Then one promptly landed on her and stung her. But at least yours let you take its picture!
so much deliciousness!! ooh i hate bee stings!
The bees knees (the best part?). I am very jealous of all that amazing food and those vegan cookies look incredible. I was at the beach yesterday watching bees in the flowers and they are so delicate and beautiful
i haven’t been stung by a bee but i got w=bitten on the neck by a wasp while riding my motorbike once. not fun!
Nothing like cooking with mom…and a great dinner party. Ouch o the bee sting. I am not allergic but I don’t react well. Hope yours seemed not so bad.
That tiny flower is so cute!
That sucks about the bee sting but it looks like you had a wonderful food filled day with your Mom.
Love all your food photos! You’re eating well, that’s for sure – just look at that delish spread! But ooh, sorry about the bee sting. Hope you have a good week ahead Life is good…
Most definitely made up for it =)
Now if only they made tiny vases…
eek, definitely doesn’t sound like a fun time!
Not too bad–I feel like those damn mosquitoes are the worst!
lol–courtesy of my wonderful, amazing bff!
I make it a point to eat yummy things, even when other things fall to the way side…haha, what else can you do but chuckle? =)
I second that =)
I however, had a swarm fall on me but that’s a story for another day…
Made me forget all about the crazy swelling, lol
she’s my number 1 inspiration, for sure =)
smiling for ya, Monet =)
Most definitely =)
I did, I did =)
After about a week, I’ve determined I’m not allergic but it was definitely not the funnest time to be had, lol.
Hi Angela, wow… you had a good time with your mum. Glad to read about it. I sure love your scrumptious spread. Love the flowers too, they are so pretty.
With hugs to you.
I really cherish my moments with mom
