It’s been a busy few days full of trains, buses, walking, eating (especially eating!), meeting relatives (brothers, cousins, aunts, nieces and nephews). After spending last week in Daegu with Shinjoung’s parents, we headed up to Seoul and its surroundings to visit myriad relatives — I know some names, but mostly I remember them as relations (big brother, big aunt, little aunt, curly hair aunt, violin cousin etc!) because that’s how I’m introduced to them. We stayed with Hyungnim (literally “older brother” who’s actual name is Sangheun) and his family in Bundang, just outside of Seoul. We’ve actually done quite a bit of cooking, both at Shinjoung’s parents’ house and at Hyungnim’s apartment. Gazpacho (from the moosewood cookbook of course!) was such a huge hit with Shinjoung’s mom that we made a second double batch
