It was an arduous bus ride up from DC to New York, but my Texan relatives-- Mom's little brother John and his two children, Matthew and Jenny (Ji-hyae)-- got here safely and are staying in a room two doors down from us. I served the group a mixture of quasi-Italian and Korean food: budae-jjigae and fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, portobello mushroom, and baby spinach. Both dishes seemed to go over well, and my cousins very kindly cleaned up the kitchenette.

We're off to see Mom now. Sean had departed a bit earlier; he's also going to meet some friends.
