Sketches of a Small Town: November 2011
http://sketchesofasmalltown.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 25, 2011. Being a mom is hard. I'm really struggling lately and I don't really know why. The kids are actually great, I'm just kind of sick of it all. I don't know what I want. Or what I would change. I feel like I'm in a swamp. A swamp made of glue, or marshmallow after you knead it in your fingers, or something otherwise really sticky that I can push through if I really try, but I'm so tired that I just can't summon the effort to do it. I want to throw on my goddamn coat and just go.

nine.ate.seven: January 2013
http://nineateseven.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
On December 20 at 11:57 pm Joe and I welcomed our little Maxwell Dae-Won Park into the world. He made his due date by mere minutes with a fast and furious delivery! We couldn't be happier and can't believe how much we love this little dude already. Here's me and my 40-week belly the day before Maxwell was born (I already gave up on wearing makeup and straightening my hair at this point). And Maxwell just after entering the world:. This is our Korean nickname for Maxwell). At almost 3 weeks old:.

nine.ate.seven: maxwell turns one
http://nineateseven.blogspot.com/2013/12/maxwell-turns-one.html
Last Friday Maxwell turned one. To celebrate we threw him a small party with family. We kept things pretty simple. Platters of sushi and sashimi, some Korean and Filipino appetizers, and a homemade banana layer cake. In honour of Maxwell's newborn nickname (Korean dumplings):. My mom made the Filipino lumpia. The night before. In the background are two. Towers (used to decorate the food table) that I made out of candy and beans. The one has Maxwell's Korean middle name written in Korean.

nine.ate.seven: marble loaf cake
http://nineateseven.blogspot.com/2013/09/marble-loaf-cake.html
Last week we were a house full of sickness. First Joe, then me, then Maxwell. It was Maxwell's first cold, but he fought it like a champ. By Sunday we were all feeling sort of better. I even whipped up this easy-to-make marble loaf cake as an afternoon snack. Then this morning I woke up with a sore throat! Ugh, how unfair. Well, at least there's leftover cake.

nine.ate.seven: holiday cheer
http://nineateseven.blogspot.com/2013/12/holiday-cheer.html
I made this ombré garland from pompoms I found at Dollarama. Sadly, it was too short to wrap around the entire length of the tree. Oh well. Joe's sister even crafted Maxwell a few felt ornaments. My favourite is her rendition of his first (and most cherished) stuffed toy, Boris. And it wouldn't be the holidays without some sweets. I haven't been able to do much baking, but did manage to crank out some shortbread and these salted brown butter cookies. Now, time to cozy-up on the couch and stare at my tree.

nine.ate.seven: sew hungry
http://nineateseven.blogspot.com/2013/05/sew-hungry.html
Last Friday I attended my first Sew Hungry. Food truck rally in Hamilton with Seema. I was pretty surprised by how busy the event was. Food trucks lined Ottawa Street and each had a line-up, plus a crowd of people waiting for their orders. We had to skip the Dirty South. Truck because of its long line (and because I was trying hard to get Maxwell to sleep in his stroller and the sidewalk was jammed! And moved on to Buster's Sea Cove. The most surprising bite of the day was. New Hamilton food truck that.

nine.ate.seven: unintentional milk chocolate ice cream
http://nineateseven.blogspot.com/2013/08/unintentional-milk-chocolate-ice-cream.html
Unintentional milk chocolate ice cream. I haven't made homemade ice cream in ages, so I was excited to dust off my ice cream machine and get it running again. I kept things simple and settled on chocolate chip ice cream. For the base vanilla ice cream, I used Jeni's cookbook. Jeni's recipes never seem to disappoint. You can see a few of my favourite recipes from the book here. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I'm really good at eating. View my complete profile. The girl who ate everything.
