Thanksgiving just isn't Thanksgiving without the...Bulgogi? Turkeys with all the traditional trimmings aren't exactly easy to come by in these parts, so for Thanksgiving we headed out with the Yangs for Korean BBQ. We went big and ordered the massive dish you see here in the photo. We walked into the restaurant and told them that we'd have whatever everyone else was having. Brett and I talked a big talk about eating beef, since it would all be a part of the experience, and since Pete and Ginny used to be our vegetarian cohorts. When it came right down to it though, we didn't walk the walk. Brett skimmed the dish for the peppers and onion to put over his spicy rice while I ordered a bowl of tofu soup. It was all delicious and, finally, HOT! Chileans aren't known for having a high spice tolerance. Whenever we go out for Indian or Thai, we have to ask them to make it really spicy in order to get a little bit of a kick. Not at the Korean restaurant. Their normal dishes were making us all break a solid sweat, which may have been compounded by the fact that no matter how much we begged, bothered, and sweet talked, we simply couldn't get our waitress to bring us a glass of water. She would, strangely enough, bring us whatever alcohol we requested. We all ended up quenching our thirst with a Korean liquor that I don't know the name of, but can tell you it tasted a lot like Sake. We were really grateful to be spending Thanksgiving with good friends! Above is a photo of the Bulgogi, and another of the swimming pool, where we spent the sunny afternoon working up our appetites.
