I am starting to find a few food items that I really like, such as aloe juice, sesame seeds, and mandu (pork dumplings.) We get aloe juice every grocery run now, we bought a huge container of sesame seeds, and we found a really great dumpling place where they are served as soon as they are done because of the line up for 1500 won each. I also should mention the soooooo good ice cream bars called Black Crunch Bars by Lotte. It's basically an Oreo cookie with chocolate and cookie pieces as vanilla ice cream, but really really good. We found them on sale the first time, and when we went back tot hat store they were still on sale so we bought 6 bags of them =P.
The kittens I found by our school were moved a few times by their mother to actually pretty good hiding places in the front gardens of apartment building. The last one had an open window we could see into the basement, so they can have some warmth in the winter. We had it in our minds to take two home, as there were only two left, but now that they are older, we couldn't catch them. So we fed them and that's that... =(
In school Chris is up to six students with a seventh coming on Monday, and I am up to five, the latest addition being twin girls. They are very sweet and mainly only fight with each other, although hey still don't understand that we don't speak Korean and they talk to us a lot... We went on a field trip to a bear farm on the 24th, which had lots of activities and bears that we didn't actually get to see because it started to rain. Chris' wedding ring slipped off at some point and we didn't find it. They made an announcement but there were so many places it could have fallen to never be seen again. Ironically it's made of tungsten carbide, so it will last forever, wherever it is. The farm gave everyone chestnuts to take home so I had some fun cooking them. The first bunch I boiled for too long which produced mush. This was painstaking to separate from the shells. I tried to save it by frying it with some sugar and a chocolate bar, but I can say I'm never doing that again. The second batch I steamed and they worked, but still tasted very not exciting.
At church on Sunday they had a Canadian cuisine pot-luck lunch. I wore the only Canadian thing I had, my red Canada winter hat, and we brought a cake. There were quite a few good things though, like waffles, pizza, sandwiches and applesauce.
We had a Halloween fun day on Friday, which besides being stressful and exhausting turned out some interesting costumes. I made candy apples with the kids and Chris took them on a pinata treasure hunt. Do Hyun won best costume for being a cowboy, and was really happy to shoot me...
Kay =)
oh yes, and after two months of avoiding it, I now have a cold. Chris still has a lingering cough.
