Booper likes brownies.
That much I know. But here's something I don't know. Can you serve brownies on Chusok? Am I even spelling that right?
His class is going to be celebrating this holiday next week at school. He is supposed to wear his han bok to school, but we don't have one. The kids in his class dress in their han bok and parade around the school for the other kids. Then they go to their classroom for a celebration. We are invited to come and take part in a Chusok feast, but I don't know what to bring. The Handyman says that his family didn't celebrate Chusok when he was a kid, so he has no clue either.
Suggestions welcome.
Otherwise, things are going well. As a reward for doing all his homework this week, Booper is allowed to participate in show-and-tell. I thought he'd want to bring his new baseball mitt or maybe one of his trains. Instead, he surprised us by taking his guitar to school. (This was one of his birthday presents.) He looked like quite the Bohemian with it sticking out of his Cars backpack as he shuffled into his classroom.
Yesterday, the Caboose walked up to me and said, "kom-som-nee-dah." No reason. Just felt like practicing, I guess. He slays me. Currently he is trying to learn all the words to Last Train to Clarksville.

Well, rice is a very popular ingredient for chusok representing a good harvest.
So those rice cake cookies that you can pick up at most Asian supermarkets would definitely be an appropriate treat for Chusok.
Hope that helps!
at chusok at our house, we just ate what i think of as "korean feast food". jap chae, jun (egg battered fish and zuchinni), bin dae duk (savory korean pancakes) and the like. there was also lots of fruit because all the guests brought boxes of fruit over. so how about fruit? asian pears and apples i think were popular, although we also had those chewy dried persimmons for dessert, i think.
oh, and i think duk (korean rice cakes) were a must at chusok too.
I'd eat brownies for chusok.
chocolate is an acceptable harvest good.
