My Rocking Cradle

On a trip to Marquee Mall, we had our stomach filled with this huge pizza from Xtremely Xpresso:

You know what made this trip more special? I got to meet the Chic and Sassy Homemaker, Des! Finally! I would love to see her again here in Seoul where she could shop all to her heart’s content.

I still have a New Year’s post, how’s that? lol.
Our New Year’s eve dinner was not one you can easily forget! So, we made sure some photos were taken of the fabulous dishes that were included  in the set menu we chose for our family’s last dinner for 2011.
