Weekend Bits
Days like yesterday can be so bittersweet for those who have lost their mother’s/father’s and my heart goes out to all of you. To a very special someone, I know that your pops is winking down at you, beaming from ear to ear because you’ve done him proud.
It makes days like yesterday even that much more special for me. My family is the entire world to me and the fact that we can break bread, share laughs, and just be near each other makes lovely days like yesterday so worth working hard and trying harder, day in and day out. I love you so much, Daddy! Crazy plant obsession and all (he’s a mad scientist with a green thumb).
Daddy’s day menu of grilled squid, galbi, shrimp cocktail, kimchi, bean sprout and spinach banchan (side dish), lettuce wraps, fruit, and cheesecake.
Even though my baby brother’s weren’t there to physically celebrate with us, we were wrapped in love and laughter (the latter being aided by second, third, and even fourth helpings by daddy)!
Cake Batter fro-yo after dinner because when it comes to food, we don’t mess around.
To back up the weekend, I woke up extra early to prepare a Korean breakfast for my parents and it was only 2 hours later, I realized pops wasn’t going to be there. Needless to say, Mama and I had more than enough mackerel, kimchi, anchovies, veggie stir fry, and miso soup to go around between the both of us.
A mid day snack of oyster-jeon.
My baby harvest of mulberries and tomatoes (midday snack, round 2)
J’s very special pasta for dinner.
and a big honkin’ eclair for moi for dessert.
I spent an entire day dedicated to the pool and apparently forgot about breakfast (shocking)!
Lunch of veg burger and roasted local veggies. The burger came with a smoked tomato, NC hoop cheddar, spicy pickled cucumbers, and poblano garlic aioli.
Dinner of bone-in ribeye, twice baked potatoes, and green beans.
Nom, nom, and nom.
Love,
Your Squishy Monster ^.~

Sounds like a fun-filled weekend with the greatest people! The food sounds so fantastic, I noticed the shrimp cocktail right away, as my stomach was growling…lol!! A day at the pool is my kind of day. I still haven’t been in mine and it’s the end of July almost! Hoping to get in there soon!
You and me need to have a seafood party soon!!
I don’t remember when I had mulberries last time… 15 years ago maybe??? All the food looks marvellous, as usually.
I thought your pancakes were pizza.
What a wonderful day with your parents. That was quite a spread.
What are the plants your Daddy growing in his gardens?
You and I share a love for ribeyes – and our super awesome dads!
I’m so glad you were able to spend FD with your Dad, and with such good food! Too bad he missed out on the killer breakfast though! Your eats are making me jealous, as always!
Hi Angela, wow… another fun filled weekend with your family and all the delectable food.
I got to spend Fathers day with my dad for the first time in 13 years!

It’s good to know you had a fantastic time! All the food looks incredible!
A wonderful thought indeed for those missing a parent in their everyday life. Although everything is fine we had our scare as my dad had heart surgery 2 months ago. So much amazing food bits!

How sweet of you to remember those of us who no longer can celebrate physically with our fathers, Angela. Thank you. I only wish I would have thought to be as kind when visiting those who I know longer can.
I am so impressed with the assortment of food you have graciously shared with us. Your selections brings a whole new meaning to the word Smörgåsbord!
Thank you so much for sharing your days with us, Squishy…
P.S. I’d love if you could join us for the Picnic Game. The post is up!
Damn forgot about mulberries, yummy little things!
Cake batter fro-yo dinner? Yes, please!
We were all so stuffed but couldn’t resist!
If the squirrels don’t get to all of them first, jam, here I come!
I bet they still appreciated the kind soul that you are!!!
Fried oysters are always a winner in my book!
Best ever!
Your father is a soldier
Thanks, Asmita!
I should think to do the same! Hope you had a great weekend, Brain!
This is awesome news, Tandy! I hope it was everything you ever wanted!!
Crazy, right? Definitely a first in awhile. I wish you the same, dear Amelia!!
With hubby looking forward to being a daddy soon, I hope y’all had a very special Father’s Day, V!
I have 2 more waiting for me, can’t wait!!
Let’s see if I can remember all of them… Peppers, mint, perilla leaves, garlic scapes, lemons, pears, chives and green onions… Gosh, there’s so much I can’t even keep up! You guys would get along soooo well, Norma!
Smart kid!! Hope your Father’s Day was filled with joy, laughter, and happiness, Paul!
I’m in a tug of war with the squirrels and birds over them
Father’s Day with a feast! I do not like oysters but oyster pancake is the only thing that I would still enjoy eating… I know it’s strange but it tastes good for some reason.
I’ve got a fierce craving for fried oysters now…happy almost weekend, Nami!
It sounds amazing, eating and sharing with family. Need to visit my soon.
Those are always the best times =)
I want a eclair so bad right now!
It was fab!
