Bulgogi

Julia staid at our apartment for a whole week!
It was a lot of fun. I love Julia :)

On Thursday night, I decided to make Bulgogi.
Ray and Lee came over. Heidi, Julia, and Kelsey ate some too.
I was nervous about how it would turn out because I'd never had it before.
It took two hours to make x.x
And I made a mistake. I didn't know what a "clove of garlic" meant. So instead of putting in two cloves, I put in two whole ones.
So when Kelsey came down when I was about to start frying it up, I asked her what a clove was. So she helped me pick out a bunch of little pieces of garlic..
It turned out good, though! Everyone kept saying that it was really good. I'm glad :)
The time and effort went to good use!I'll have to make it some time at home, too. I'd love to make it again.

Happy Halloween

Okay, so Halloween was yesterday. But I'm just sticking to my Sunday post tradition.

Last Monday was our Ward Halloween party. It was in the Kirkham this year instead of the Taylor. There weren't very many activities, though--not like last year. There was a team relay thing, but I only got to participate in one activity, and then I couldn't see the rest. However, at one point, every group got up on "stage" and did a little 30-second skit thing. It was entertaining.

On Friday, Emily came over and we went to the D.I. to help her find a costume to become Princess Lolly. After, we went to Winger's for dinner <3
So the rest of us played Candyland. Every time we landed on a character's space, we played a game based on that character. For Queen Frostine we had an ice cream eating contest. For Princess Lolly we had a dance contest to a song called Lollipop. For Mr Licorice we had to make art out of three pieces of licorice. For Mr Mint we had to close our eyes and taste a flavored candy cane and guess what the flavor was. And for the final game, we had a Mario Kart relay on Rainbow Road (for the boy/girl player event).

After that, Ray and Lee left. Emily's boyfriend, Cid, came over and we hung out with him for a bit. We had SOOOO many leftover treats that we decided to make plates full of food to give to our relief society and FHE sisters. So we went around the complex delivering treats. It was fun :)

We were so wired on sugar that we didn't fall asleep until reeeaaaallly late. And then we ended up sleeping through church....
Literally. When we woke up, church was already over.

Kelsey made red curry for dinner, and Ray and Lee came over. We hung out with them and we watched Totoro. It was really fun because Kelsey and I were both still wired on sugar.
