The centuries-old Portuguese treat has become a global brand, and it's being shipped all over the world. Number one export country? South Korea! But I'm hearing the news that it's coming to Costco, USA!
Ah, the memories of Lisbon and Belem, Portugal. We were so fortunate enough to travel in 2019.
It's rare for us to find fresh delicious fruit in the middle of winter. But we go out of our way to find it for our Airport Cafe customers. This is their third cake in 6 months. They love it so much that each office birthday, they request this "fruit" cake. Maria does a great job in putting it all together!
We went out to Washugal River Tree Farm. Any size, any tree was $45. I think this is the best deal out there! I had all the intention of finding that 9 ft. tree... But when we got there, it was too windy and too cold to venture out into the field. We just grabbed the best Noble Fir that was already cut and came home within 10 minutes of arriving at the farm. No pictures taken, no standing by the prized tree... We did manage to get a hot cocoa! It was one of the smallest tree we have ever picked out but it's okay. ENK took his chain saw but we were not in the mood to go hiking into the woods. The house is finally decorated today! It was a productive Sunday indeed.

It was the boys who were excited to be in the kitchen. ENK picked out this kogi from Costco tonight. We had a simple meal of table top grilled meat, lettuce wrap and kimchi!
I forgot which cut of meat this was but it sure was delicious! Thank you boys for helping out in the kitchen today!
December 11 is my Lindsey's Birthday. We haven't spent her birthday at home for several years. This year, Allison made her birthday dinner at home! Happy 24th birthday to my sweet baby girl. I can't believe you're 24!
This picture was taken when she was 15 years old!
There was a time when I decorated two dental offices, one church stage, and home for Christmas. Now, I'm only doing one office and no decoration is needed this year for church... and I'm procrastinating my home decoration.
It's old. The brand? ESPRIT. I don't even know if the company exists.. I just googled it, the company closes all retail in Asian market. I haven't worn it in 10 years. It ripped while I was taking it off..... Oh man!
