Sometimes our apartment has cooking adventures. We haphazardly toy with taking pictures of our food so the fact that we only have ten pictures…should not dissuade any future visitors to our apartment. These are the tong yuens in tong sui that me and Jojo made about a week ago. The tong yuen were sesame-filled and [...]

For dindin today, I made kimchi fried rice, edamame, and seaweed soup per general online recipe coupled with my mama’s instructions. Steven helped with the manly cooking tasks: cutting the onions and mushrooms and opening jars of kimchi and garlic and the girls, plus Mel who is technically a girl as well, helped with the [...]

twentyfive Kelley and I went to Idae (the neighborhood around Yonsei and Ewha Women University) and just picked the first place we saw so that I could get my hair cut.

Twenty I got a call from Anushya who woke me up at 2 PM to go grab lunch. I got ready and we went to Sinchon to eat at this chicken place. Raw chicken, bacon, sweet potato, and ramen were placed in a large pan in front of us and cooked. It was pretty cool. [...]

Fifteen I woke up at the awful hour of 7 AM to finish my paper for Cross-Cultural Psych because I had class at 9 AM and still had to edit it. Walked with Cindy to Yeonhui Hall, a beautiful ivy-covered building, for our Korean Pop Culture class. The professor is a super nice lady who [...]

Kitchen adventures continued earlier this week, this time with the help of the Boy. Though he claims otherwise, based on his performance, I have deemed him useless in the kitchen!

On Sunday, I found out that we had plantains, which my mother mistook for regular bananas (despite the week that they’ve remained green). Unfortunately, I was feeling very adventurous and decided to cut up a ripe plantain, which looks like a REALLY dirty banana. I’ve eaten fried plantains before, thanks to our month-long party in [...]

Last weekend was pretty damns productive in You See LA’ing. On Saturday was my first time going on a Ferris Wheel (believe it or not). I found out that slow rides are as stressful as the scary rollercoasters so I held onto Mel’s hand for most of the time. It was pretty romantic. THEN, I [...]
