| At Everland with my girls, bout to ride (what's considered) one of the best wooden rollercoasters in the world! |
Long time no blog. Things have
settled into more of a routine now and selfie-sticks have become all the rage
here. Are these popular back home guys? My creature comfort has become cooking
a good meal and then eating it while watching Masterchef - skipping over the reality BS to go directly to the cooking sequences of course (nod to Jon for the rec).
Missing Mom's homemade cookies
especially these days so I tried my hand at baking cookies (took the third
batch to really nail it). It's not really that difficult in fact, but I gotta
make them more moist somehow. Tonight I made japchae for the first
time, which is glass noodles made of sweet potato with sauteed carrot,
onions, baby spinach, shitake mushrooms, black mushrooms (also called Jew's
ears I've heard? haha) and pork all thinly sliced to compliment the noodles.
It's all seasoned with sesame oil, soy sauce, sesame seeds and a couple table
spoons of brown sugar. What you get is a colorful sweet and salty dish, and man
did I nail it my first try. Not to pat myself on the back but it was the
best japchae I've ever had!

Also still been mountain biking a lot. I had to start doing 100 squats every morning to strengthen my legs enough so as to not get leg cramps on the rides. Now I've been cramp free! Winter is coming, but that doesn't stop this bike team I ride with. Apparently winter riding on snowy mountains is the most fun of the four seasons. Thinking I'll pass on that.

Also bought a halloween
costume. I'll be having to shave my head, shave the beard to a goatee, and
acquire some glasses. Any guesses?
(Item I'm currently most
missing from home: dill seasoning)
