Bahm, anyone?

every winter our family would gather around the fire place and eat bahm. we would cut it in half and spoon out all the yumminess. it was so warm and sweet. and every time, my parents told us that when they were students in Korea, they would buy bags full of roasted bahm from street vendors during the winter. so i have always associated bahm with my parents and korea. i didn't know the english word for it. it wasn't until i got a little older did i realize that bahm were chestnuts~!!! lol. so every time i hear the words chestnuts roasting on an open fire... from the christmas song, i always find myself visualzing what a chestnut looks like: a bahm. lol.

just wanted to share this story because my mom and i were sitting on the couch eating bahm with our spoons today. :)



and remember the light reef thing i said my mom bought? here's a picture of it.



i'm just getting over a cold. hope everyone stays healthy, warm and toasty this winter!!!
