If you could choose to cook whatever you wanted at home, or go out to your favorite restaurant, which would you choose and why? What would you cook, or where would you go?
Before leaving comments on this blog, I need to say sorry for not attending class in this coming weekend. I will visit my home town and come back Seoul with my mom. Because her physical condition is not good, I need to escort her. And next week I will visit US for two weeks. Maybe I can see you all on 31July.
When I have food by myself, I usually eat simple dishes. Just Kimchi and rice with fried egg. Sea weed and boiled water added. To save cooking time and minimize the amount of wasted food. During weekend, I usually make wheat powder dough for Sujebi. That is a simple food. The first thing I need to do is blending wheat powder with water and making dough. The dough need to be stored in refrigerator for several hours. Next step, I make basic water for soup. I boil water for half hour with anchovy and kelp. Because make food for one meal is very difficult and time consuming, I make food for several meals. Therefore maintaining the basic water fresh is crucial factor. After boiling the water, the water can be basic soup for Sujebi. After cooling the water enough, I also store the water in refrigerator. When I feel hungry, I boil the water and tear the wheat powder dough with hands by small pieces and put them in boiling water. Before I stop the boiling, small pumpkin with slices and bean sources are added. If I have not enough basic soup, Lamen soup and dim sum boiling water could be the substitute.
I always miss my wife’s wonderful cooking. She is a great cooker. Her special ingredient for cook would be the love for my family and she loves cooking. She can make not only Korean traditional food, but also Chinese and Japanese food. She has no certification for cooking but she learned a lot for cooking. When she was learning cooking, tasting was my part.
I am not an epicure. I like to go pub instead of going to restaurant. Sometimes alcohol could be the best meal. If some of us know the most romantic place to have dinner with wife, please let me know. And their cost should be within budget.
@ Jeff Thanks for the correction and explanation. I've just read the all previous comments and voted for this Saturday. Sorry for being late to vote this week.
@Jin I totally understand your feeling because when I was in Vancouver by myself, I did the same things as well. But, what I'd like to tell you is please take care of your health first. Please have good foods more often than now, and reduce drinking and smoking (^^; it's like nagging ^^;).If you are sick in Korea, even though your family is in USA, they will feel uncomfortable and worry about you so much. You are the head of family, and the most, bestest member of the family. I know the truth ( I guess you know what I mean ^^; ) Anyway, please have a safe trip to USA, then see you in 3 weeks. Hope your family and you will have a great time together. ^^;
Well. If I could choose one of the choices, I would love to have a meal out !!! because... my mom doesn't cook well (^^; sorry mom~ ) And after coming back from Vancouver, my taste has changed. First, I like to have new kinds meals that I haven't had. So, I really want to try this sort of activities, but... I don't have enough time and money ^^;; (poor~). Secondly, I love spicy food with Korean style. I guess when I was in Vancouver, I rarely had Korean spicy food, probably only 2 or 3 times for 1 and half year. So, if one of you knows really good restaurants, please share the list with us. I'd love to try all of them oneday. ^^;
Thank you Libero for your deliberate consideration. I will do my best to keep health.
If you're finding something spicy, I want to recomand YUJUNG NAGJI-broiled octopus. Nagji is not octopus, but I cannot find out exact expression. Anyway, when my daughter came back,she also wanted spicy Korean food, like you. The first meal she had in Korea was the octopus. That restaurant is one of franchise shop. Maybe you can find exact address in internet.
And how about your internship? In my daughter's case, she works over 12hours a day. From the first day, she came back midnight. she has experiencing severe social life. Hope you have great work experience with proper working time.
I am very sad to hear that you will be leaving us for so long. You will be missed and I hope your mother is feeling okay. Have a safe trip. Remember, you can participate on the blog while you are gone.
Libero,
Living here in Korea for me is much like when you were living in Canada. Though western, or American, food is much more prevalent here than Korean food is in Vancover, GOOD western food is hard to find. And, when I do find it, it is often too expensive to have very often. I really haven't had a good hamburger or good Mexican food (my two favorite foods) since I came to Korea.
I prefer to cook at home because I can find the ingredients I need to make the type of food I want - and I don't have to pay a lot of money. Lately, I have been making a lot of Italian food since it is quick, easy, and fairly cheap to make. However, on my birthday this past Tuesday (July 6), I went to a restaurant in Sinchon called "On The Border". It is a Mexican restaurant chain from the U.S. I have been to 8 Mexican restaurants in Seoul and this one is the best. It is kind of funny though, I would never go to this restaurant back home, but here I love it!
Yepp. I just worried about your condition. I'm in US.Here is very cool and the air is very fresh. I'm having great time with my family. Even thogh I can not participate in our class, I will be with you accessing this blog. See you later.
Part? I'm in western coast, nearby seattle. King county W.A.
There are so many trees around house. Actually my family lives on an apartment, it also surrounded with trees. Central park of Bellevue is great. All of my family will go picnic to the park. I'm enjoying the life of US. It's too late. I'm fully drunken. See you tomorrow.

Jeff are you OK?
ReplyDeleteI wonder why our class was canceled. Hope you are not in difficulties.
I will miss you and our class so badly.
Take care of yourself. Do not wait the passed by bus. We can take on next bus.
Our class was not cancelled because of me. CBS decided to cancel it for some other reason.
ReplyDeleteYepp. I just worried about your condition.
