Kent Pond Beaver Cut (GCH0NA)

My first geocache found! CJ and Sunghee came along, but the trail looked a little too rough for CJ so they stayed behind and played by the Kent Pond and watched the people fishing. Soon after I started off on the path I realized that I had to cross a river. I kept looking for rocks or something to walk on so I could get across. When I was just starting to get worried that I would have to get wet I found a bridge. Yay! Once on the other side of the river it was pretty easy to find the location of the cache. My GPS got me within 10 feet or so of it. It took some digging to locate it as it had been covered by several inches of leaves. I recorded my find, took a dinosaur and left a marionette. This looks like it’s going to be a fun hobby. Sunghee and I decided to try finding some after work during the week instead of bringing CJ along due to the amount of walking that is needed.

Trip to the Korean food store

Today Sunghee, Yung-Sun, CJ and I took the monthly trip to Albany for Korean food. This time we went to the Exit 2 store instead of the Exit 6 one as Sunghee had some videos to return, and they were about 6 months late. Anyways, I like this store much better. Lots and lots of fun stuff.

!/images/16.jpg (Pocky)!

First up we have our old friend Pocky. This is basically pretzel sticks dipped in chocolate. Yummy.

!/images/17.jpg (Mousse Pocky)!

Chocolate Mousse Pocky. Same thing, but with chocolate mousse. I haven’t had this yet, but it looks good.

!/images/18.jpg (Men’s Pocky)!

Men’s Pocky. Not too sure about this. At first I thought that “Men’s” was maybe the brand name, but on further inspection all three of these are made by Glico. Now I’m thinking that this is a Man’s Pocky. Rough, rugged and manly. Although eating a manly candy scares me a little.

!/images/19.jpg (Lychee)!

I have never heard of Lychee before. It looks both good and cool, with it’s spiny red skin and pear-like soft inside. After some research this fruit originated in China, but is grown in the tropical areas of the US as well (Hawaii, Florida, California). I think I’m going to have some for dinner tomorrow.

!/images/20.jpg (Crunch Up)!

Crunch Up! These just look fun. There’s three chocolate and two strawberry. The bag proclaims “Cereal & Choco Ensemble”. I had one of the strawberry and it sort of tasted like a Nestle Crunch gone horribly wrong. I’m going to wait a bit before trying the chocolate.

Gummy. Pictured is Apple, Muscat (white grape?), Grape, Pineapple. There was an Orange but I opened that already and had one. It was good, but I think Yung-Sun took the rest of the bag.

!/images/22.jpg (Banana Chips)!

Banana Chips. I’ve made these before with my Ronco Food Dehydrator. These are better though. And there’s a lot! About a pound of the stuff is in that bag. None of that “Sold by weight, not volume. Contents may settle during shipment” crap here.

Green tea ice cream mix. I really like green tea ice cream, but have a hard time finding it. Now I can make my own!

Table Shopping

We went looking at tables today as we are desperately in need of a dining room table. I want to have Easter dinner here this year, and that’s not happening with the little 2-person cafe table we have now.

This is the one we’re leaning towards:

!/images/3.jpg (Cherry Table)!

It’s cherry and comes with four matching chairs. We would also get two burgundy easy chairs for the ends of the table.

And this is a second option:

I like the black marble pictured here, but Sunghee would rather have the beige option that available.

Note: the textpattern image tags don’t work correctly right now.

02.01.04

Sunghee and I took CJ out to the Rutland Country Club for sledding, his first time, on Saturday. To say that he didn’t enjoy it would be an understatement. How he’s made it through two winters in his life and not experienced snow yet, I have no idea. “Gigi! Gigi!” (Korean baby-talk for “dirty”) he would say when some powder ended up on his jacket and he frantically tried to brush it off. And once he actually went down a small hill, he really let us know how he felt. “Want *sob* go *sniffle* mommy HOME!”
