A Korean fruit that I can't find a translation for. They look like pears to me. It was Thanksgiving in America but, of course, the Koreans don't celebrate that American holiday here. Sunja did, however, throw a little BBQ for me and her ladies group. I went over to her home in the mountains and it was stunningly beautiful. We had to drive over a very winding road up and over one mountain to get to the country area where she lived. I got dizzy on the drive over..hehe. As we ate, I saw black birds with white markings fly overhead and a bobcat looking at us inquisitively across the dirt road. The food was great. We had strips of pork, big hunks of beef, sushi, kim chi, and a handful of other yummy things. I brought a big chocolate cake from a local bakery. The mountain views were wonderful. Especially with their pear and persimmon trees in the foreground. Persimmon is a fruit that seems to be a cross between an apple and a tomato. It's very popular here. What I learned today about Korea: 1) Flat rocks are grilled with the meat. Then the meat is placed on the hot rocks at your table to help keep the meat warm.
