Korean BBQ Birthday Celebration

Eileen hosted my birthday party early with Korean BBQ.  It was great to hang with the gang again plus Jeri and Eduard.  It is harder to get together with everyone traveling now.

We had coconut water straight from the gourd.

BBQ on the grill with lettuce wraps.  An assortment of Korean sides and I made the egg dish.

Karen brought the brussel sprout salad that we all love and Josephine made my favorite dessert.

Bonus was presents!

Tea from China, jewelry, bags, clothing, and homemade oven mitts.

Hibachi

Eileen decided to try Korean barbecue at home with her hibachi grill over a burner outside in the backyard to welcome Phil and Josephine home.  It was a bit chilly, but the stove kept us warm.

We had steak and mushrooms with onions to moisten the grill and some fatty pieces to oil up the pan.

We had a bit of sea salt and oil for a dipping sauce and some lotus root soup leftovers to round out the meal.  It was pretty good however, we were missing all the little dishes to compliment the meal available at a Korean place.  

After the meat grilling was all done, we placed some pea sprouts on the grill with a bit of oil and with the char from the grill, it was very tasty.

We headed back in for dessert of mochi ice cream of green tea and strawberry with some tea for digestion.

The dogs really missed Phil and swarmed him on the couch.
