Mother's Day and Mr. Yi's Bday

Jessica's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Yi invited me to have Mother's day dinner with the family.  I got to meet Jessica's cousins, grandma, uncles, and aunts while enjoying new foods and practicing my Chinese.   Erg, months of study and I'm still a deer in headlights when some of them  started talking.   Jess said, they just weren't clear speakers. That must be it. Thanks, Jess.  ;)


Amazing cured meat, cucumber, pita sandwich things.

Laughter @ the married w/kids table! 

Surprisingly delicious jelly, chocolate, cream cake w/kiwi on top!

These are photos from Mr. Yi's birthday.  We went to a nice restaurant with a set menu.  We got to try many different dishes. 
First course w/ shot of aloe vera juice, yum.
