              Apologies.  Here's my meger attempt at a Thanks giving update, without any pictures of the turkey or food, but really Jester's a hard act to follow.  Was busy chowing, but managed to get a few anyway  😛  Many thanks to Jester, once again for awesome updates and Pennsyvanian meibutsu/souvenirs and Giles for the coaster tote.  🙂

              Heading to the coast (Salinas, CA) this weekend and will bring them along.

                        Chris (ex Houstonchris) is up next, I guess TWE should be getting in touch around now.

                            Winging their way to Chris as we speak.

                            I watched Close Encounters of the 4th Kind four times per day for the duration of the holiday season, which I hope accounts for my lack updates.  I could think of other excuses but there all about as plausible as the above.

                              And they arrived in today's mail. 🙂

                              I'll try to take some pictures and get them posted soon. I'm visiting my family in North Carolina and have sporadic access to the internet.  Things won't get back to normal until 2011.  Nonetheless, I'll try to make regular posts.

                                  OK, so the holidays are over and things are getting back to normal around here, which means that it's high time I posted an update for the coaster tour.  For Christmas, we went to visit my family in North Carolina, which was fun.  However, traveling with a relentlessly energetic, compulsively destructive, brain meltingly loud two year old is not.  Nor is being a pack mule for the short ton of luggage that accompanies the three feet of terror.  But I digress…

                                  Visiting the family coincided with Charlotte's first white Christmas in my lifetime- a couple of inches fell in the city, which was just enough to look pretty without bringing the everything to a grinding standstill.

                                  Of course, the WT coasters made an appearance under Mom & Dad's Christmas tree; every Christmas needs a little Iron Heart, right?

                                  And no trip home is complete without sampling what is quite possibly North Carolina's finest contribution to cuisine:

                                  This brings a new meaning to the phrase "tasty denim".

                                  If you've only had Krispy Kreme doughnuts in the pre packaged boxes from the grocery or convenience store, or even worse, not tasted them at all, then I am truly sorry for you.  Until you've eaten an original glazed doughnut fresh off the line while the "Hot Doughnuts Now" neon sign is glowing in the window, you have yet to experience true bliss.

                                  On New Year's Eve, we made the 3 hour flight back to Houston and my wife and I spent a couple of days unpacking, doing laundry and cleaning house.  My son spent a couple of days trying to spread the billion new toys that grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins insisted on giving him through as much of the house as possible.  Fun.

                                  Today I felt like having a burger, so naturally, I went to Texas's locally grown chain (I provided the drink, in case you were wondering.  No burger chain is that awesome).

                                  Turns out, IH coasters are good for more than just beverages.  They also work great at holding bacon cheeseburgers.

                                  I made sure no bacon was visible just for Seul.:)

                                  They also functioned well as a candy dish for my dessert.

                                  Anyway, that's what's been happening for the last few days.  Pretty prosaic, but I hope you were at least mildly entertained.  I'll try to find some more interesting stuff for you for the rest of my leg of the tour.

                                            So we're due for another update, since it's been a few days.  Looking over my pictures, there are a lot of food and/or drinks shots, which gives the impression that I'm a 400 pound alcoholic.  Sadly, it's just that meals are generally the highlight of my boring days.

                                            I'm trying to cut back on the overly caffeinated beverages with mixed success.  Nonetheless, some days I need the kick, so here it is, the breakfast of champions:

                                            For dinner Thursday night, I grabbed some food from one of our favorite Greek restaurants, Yia Yia Mary's.  There's another place that I prefer for gyros, but that's something for another post…  Anyway, I had moussaka and grilled asparagus, and baklava cheesecake for dessert.  The wife had a truly uninspiring Greek salad (not worthy of pics).  Oh yeah, and I grabbed a handful of candies that I've only found at that restaurant- ouzo flavored.  Man, I love those things.

                                            Today was errand day.  First, we grabbed some sushi for lunch at a new(ish) spot; mostly because we had a coupon.  The wife loves coupons.  Overall, not bad and very friendly people working there.  I'm always a bit weirded out when the folks making sushi aren't Japanese, though.  Does that mean I'm a bad person?

                                            Lunch was followed by some shopping for the kid.  As the wife went looking for clothes, boredom set in, leading to my favorite photo of the day:

                                            Finally, we swung by the Asian grocery store.  I love the Asian grocery store.  It always has the coolest stuff.  Not just the groceries, but there are multiple shops and restaurants in there, too, so you can get all kinds of fun things.  We got bubble tea and Korean food.  Kimchee pancakes are surprisingly filling, in case you've ever wondered.

                                            And here are some random things I found wandering the store aisles.
                                            Roasted duck and pork

                                            Apparently, dragonfruit is in season.  Too bad I'm not exactly sure how to eat them.

                                            Score!  I have such a hard time finding squab with the feet still intact.

                                            And that baby pigeon will make you thirsty, so what to drink?

                                            Mmmmm, refreshing.

                                            And finally, while I'm not planning to make my own soy milk any time soon, we loved this particular appliance:

                                            I'm guessing that "Germany" is the name of some industrial park in Kowloon.
