I mentioned my great finds at Jeremys Department Store during the weekend after Thanksgiving so I finally took some pictures of my fabulous shoes.
For next summer when I can walk on high heels again:
Possibly for now, so comfy!
Ron joined me on one of my walks through Union Square. It’s beautifully decorated during the holiday season.
My first post on Tartine’s Chocolate Oatmeal Walnut Cookies.
I made my second batch of cookies with my last Toblerone bar. I had the chance to visit Tartine bakery to try their original cookie with chocolate chunk. The cookie was huge and smelled delicious! The quarter is for comparison, the Tartine cookie on the left, my version on the right.
The Tartine cookie is a bit crunchy and dry. My version seems to come out chewy which might have something to do with the smaller size. I leave the nuts a bit bigger too so there’s more texture. Tartine’s cookie is super flat and the chocolate chunks were very well incorporated so it blended well.
I think I prefer the version I made vs the original Tartine cookie…
We had dinner at Korea House in Japantown. I think we’ve been there before because the place looks familiar but it’s probably been many years. It was only 5pm so the place was pretty empty. We were a bit shocked by the price of the food.
Everything comes with rice, side dishes, and tea.
Sorry for the blurry picture of the side dishes, I must have moved my hand while I snapped it.
Their best side dishes were the kimchi, bean sprouts, fish cake, potatoes and turnips.
We ordered the bulgolgi ($19.95) which came out already cooked. You have to order 2 or more barbeque dishes to cook at your table. It had a really nice flavor (strong in sesame & sweet) and very tender.
Also, we got the soon dubu with pork ($12.95) because it was a cold day and we wanted something bubbling hot. It came over super hot and the broth was delicious. Tons of tofu and large pieces of pork. Ron guesses the broth has lots of finely chopped garlic because the broth was very flavorful.
After we got home I went for a walk downtown. My NP encouraged me to walk at least 30 minutes after dinner every day so I started yesterday. I make an effort to pass by Macy’s so that I have something to look forward to during my walk. We’ll see how long I can keep it up. If I see cute animals like this every evening, I’m sure I can keep at it.

It was a chilly evening but a good walk. I had to wear a jacket of Ron’s because I can no longer button or zip any of my own jackets…
