Happy Friday! Hooray for making it through another week! It was a busy and long one and I’m so ready for the weekend. Here are five from this week:
1. Homecoming – Friday night was our Homecoming football game. The homecoming dance got moved from Saturday to Sunday because of the rain. Here is my daughter in her homecoming dress that I talked about shopping for in my Instagram stories and previous Five on Friday post!
2. Reading – This week I finished The Younger Wife by Sally Hepworth. This is an ARC that I got to read from Netgalley. I’ve loved all her other books but this one wasn’t a favorite. This week I also read Crying in HMart by Michelle Zauner. This is a memoir that I really enjoyed.
3. Cooking – Kimchi Pancakes. I picked up some kimchi at HMart and made a batch of these on Sunday. I find that this dish really cuts the spiciness of the kimchi.
Sunday night my husband made French Onion Meatballs. We substituted Impossible Meat for the ground beef the recipe called for. We served this with mashed potatoes and sautéed vegetables. While this recipe is on the lengthier side, I purposely chose it as a weekend meal.
4. Watching – Friday night while my daughter was at the football game we had a pizza and movie night with our son. He got to choose the movie and picked Bill & Ted Face the Music. I don’t remember if I ever saw the original movie, Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. Let’s just say that I was just there to enjoy the time with my son and wasn’t a fan of the movie!
5. Eating – over the weekend we took my son out for Korean food at SGD DUBU in Hartsdale. With me being Korean, you’d think we’d eat it a lot more. I’m hoping to change that and plan on trying to cook some Korean food at home. Since we eat it so rarely, my favorite is the bibimbap. This was served on a hot stone plate versus the bowl that I’m used to. Every restaurant makes it a little differently but it’s always so good!
6. Netflix Book Club – Did you see that Netflix is having a book/watch club?! As someone who always prefers to read the book first, this is right up my alley! The first book is going to be Passing by Nella Larsen. I just picked the book up yesterday from the library and hope to read/watch along.
7. Playing – Saturday we had an impromptu family game night and played several rounds of Canine Chaos. It’s a fast-paced card matching game that we all enjoy. We also have the similar Cat Chaos too and switch up which edition we play!

Sharing with Friday Favorites! Have a great weekend!
Your daughter is absolutely gorgeous! What a great dress, that color is so good on her skin. All your food looks so yummy and it’s making me hungry! Have a super sweet fall weekend!
You are too kind. Thank you! Hope you had a great weekend!
Your daughter looks lovely! Those meatballs sound delicious. I hadn’t heard of Netflix Book Club but I love reading a book and then comparing it to the movie!
