Mid-Autumn festival
The Mid-Autumn festival is a harvesting festival being held every year when the moon is the biggest according to the lunar calendar. So the weekend before the festival, we spent preparing food.
Making Korean pancakes. This kind of portable frying pan is common in Korea, as many live in small houses or apartments.
I helped with peeling roots and making salad. Small tasks that doesn't requires knowledge in Korean cooking.
And this is how it looked like om the Mid-Autumn day when we finally had set up the tables and was about to eat it all! Only the soup is missing from the picture. The food was enough both breakfast and lunch. This is at Issac's grandmother's home. We had to get up at 5.30 am to drive about 2 hours to Daejeon where she lives. There the whole family of the father's side gathered and ate meals together and talked for long. Very much according to the Korean tradition, the men was mostly sitting down in the living room relaxing, while the women worked. Especially the daugthers-in-law. However, I was an exception, as I don't understand much Korean, I helped a bit with setting the table, and then I was told to go and sit in the sofa. Not much you can do when you don't even understand what's going on.
This is rice cake filled with sesame seeds and boiled with pine tree needles.
Me and the grandmother when we were outside to take a walk.
