On Thursday afternoon, we had some really good dim-sum down in Richmond, where Terry also took me around to run some errands. We even found some of the green peas I really like at the T&T Supermarket in Yaohan Centre... I bought all 6 bags in stock!
For Thanksgiving dinner, we met up with Auntie Susan, Uncle Paul, Lawrence and Kevin at Morton's Steakhouse for dinner. The dinner was really good. My ribeye was unbelievable! It practically melted in my mouth. There is nothing like a good steak.
On Friday night, Auntie Susan and Uncle Paul cooked a delicious roast beef and some Chinese dishes. It was so nice to eat a home-cooked Chinese meal amongst family. I also tried my hand at playing Wii with my cousins, but I have a terrible sense of video game movements and depth... I kept running into trees and fences in the cow-racing game.
On Saturday, while looking for a Christmas craft and arts fair (which we never found), Terry and I came upon a Japanese knick-knack store. At first, we thought we'd just take a quick look because Japanese knick-knacks tend to be really expensive, but as it turned out, absolutely everything was only $1, $2 or $3, so we ended up being in there for nearly 2 hours! I came away with some random necessities, and Terry came away with some really nice Japanese bowls and sake set for only $2/piece. Afterwards, we had dinner at Parker Place and Terry left to drive back down to Portland that night.
On Sunday after church, Soo and I took the guest speakers out for dim-sum at Pink Pearl. It was fun watching them try dishes they had never had before, especially the chicken feet.
And that wraps up my American Thanksgiving weekend. How was yours?

All quiet here on the Southwestern front. We just hung out with my mom's side of the family at my cousin's, so we only brought mashed potatoes (yay for the ricer!) and Tammy's hit pumpkin bars (my grandma ended up eating 3 of them--oops, not good for blood sugar levels!).
We ran earlier in the morning at La Canada's Turkey Trot and saw Marvin finish in 22:30...or more like he saw us finish :)
Sounds like a great weekend.
here is the short version of mine:
I hurt my shoulder on Monday and spent 2 hours in the doctor's office on Wednesday which delayed our trip to Vegas by 3 hours (hence we sat in 1 1/2 hour of traffic before the highway opened up).
I slept well on Wednesday night (with the help of Motrin and Flexerall)
I cooked all day on Thursday with the help of my sister and Olivia (because my shoulder still hurt). But I was glad to have the help.
Dinner was great!
I then fell back to sleep and awoke at 11:00 to go to the 12:00 midnight outlet mall openings (it was very crowded). We arrived home at 4:00 am.
I slept again and spent most of the day in the house. We did see "This Christmas" that evening, which I really enjoyed.
Saturday we went shopping again, this time at the mall.
Sunday at 5:45 we began our trip back home.
Sounds like your weekend was packed with exciting excursions. Glad you found your peas. Seems like you patronize stores and shops at Richmond a lot. My aunt lives in Richmond. She retired years ago to escape to Vancouver from the freezing cold in Saskatoon (?). Still plays golf at 88 years old.
My thanksgiving was packed too but we only went out to eat once. My sister and husband and my mom came down for the entire weekend. We all had thanksgiving celebration at my home. As soon as Ethan arrived with Mel and Bob, I almost over-cooked my turkey. That little guy distracts me so. My first turkey turned out almost perfect. (auntie Pauline's receipe) On Saturday, we all went to visit Bethany and her family. They just bought a townhome in Sherman Oaks. We cooked up a storm for lunch then went out to dinner in Westwood at a terrible ramen noodle place. Cost us $50 but I could have done a much better job. Sunday we visited a local church in whittier. Then went back to CEFC to attend pastor Lung's farewell luncheon.
