@ANTHFood also we have shifted focus from american / cantonese food to a mishmash of cantonese / korean food. peep the pig ear and the pork hock (my faves of the night and a good choice to finish off the night)
@ANTHFood cutting to the more lowkey dinner with just my 5 person family. lotta store bought food from hmart and leftovers from the week (and because we're stuffed from lunch!) complete with apple cider
@ANTHFood
post meal thoughts: talking a lot with cousins more than i thought i would. growing older has made me more relatable but babies / one guest we have is garnering the most attention versus the rest of the cousins
@ANTHFood
post meal thoughts: was interesting to see that more cousins than usual did help out but at the insistence of their spouses wanting to help out. cousins with babies / toddlers were the least helpful
@ANTHFood prepping some of the food that we do have. there seems to be a generational divide in terms of prepping - me and my brother are the youngest of the grandchildren and are helping my aunts out while the older cousins are mingling / playing with their kids
