DongWon Spicy RaUdong-Instant noodle soup for Lunch

February 21, 2012 By Anna Leave a Comment

Yes, I'm still here looking for more food and enjoying food. Was busy eating and lazy sharing them...

I love noodle soup...and I love to eat hot soup for lunch at work. But ramyun could have lingering smell afterwards and I decided that I should stock up on some Udong and that shouldn't bother others so much.

I've never tried DongWon's Instant Spicy RaUdong so I grabbed it (It was on sale too hah hah...)
I bought a box with 6 of these and chopsticks were included.


I bought a box of Nongshim Udon, but didn't try them yet. It will be my lunch anytime now.

Shenandoah National Park- Dark Hollow Falls Trail

October 19, 2011 By Anna Leave a Comment

I went to Shenandoah National Park over the weekend to enjoy(?) the fall foliage with some of my friends.
It took us about 2 long hours...and we ate kimbob that we bought at KimbobNara and some from Korean Korner in the car.
You gotta be careful with kimbobs...you might get sick like me later on. It is considered picnic food for its convenience but preparation and digestion could give you problems haha...anyhow... Dark Hollow Falls Trail turned out to be one of the trail in the Skyline Drive. Wow. Long again. Ha ha...By that time I really wanted to breathe air and step on the ground...I was having motion sickness from the backseat.

But the scenery was beautiful although I'm not sure if the fall foliage was there... I saw little autumn colors but leaves were already starting to fall probably because of heavy rain and wind these days.
But still it was beautiful~!

Little bit of colors for you to see.

I was told that we will be walking on the trail but I wasn't informed that it would be that steep and chilly since the trail had waterfalls and late in the day...sigh...

Korean Curry quick recipe

October 13, 2011 By Anna Leave a Comment

My lunch today is Korean Curry.

20111013-130306.jpg
This is what we used today. We just got out frozen vegetables and some beef we had. Cook them first in the pot. Then mix curry with water and add them into the cooked veggies. You control how thick you want your curry to be with water. And boil it. And enjoy with kimchi or danmooji. I'm eating with danmooji today. Enjoy!

Quick fried egg and rice

October 6, 2011 By Anna Leave a Comment

I feel lazy today and didn't have any motivation to cook anything for lunch. Just got out an egg, fried it, got a bowl of steamed rice, and drizzled with some sesame oil and soy sauce.
20111006-120744.jpg
Then mixed egg with rice like crazy and ate with Kimchi. That's my lunch today. It's pretty good compared to the minimal effort I put it in. So if you ever feel this lazy, Do try and enjoy~!

What was your lunch today?

Saturday Morning Breakfast

September 24, 2011 By Anna Leave a Comment

I haven't had this kind of meal for breakfast for a long time.

20110924-090453.jpg

I guess you can say this is very traditional? (except that we didn't have any meat banchan). Ha.

You are supposed to have different color and different kinds of banchans. We had anchovies fried banchan Myulchi Bokkeum, mung bean sprouts salad Sookju Namool, radish Mu Kimchi, cabbage Baechu Kimchi, Yuchoy salad with soybean paste Yuchae Namool.

With a bowl of rice and a bowl of spicy pork soup (I didn't take a picture) I had nice nutirious 'gluten-free' breakfast.

I didn't  know exactly what 'gluten-free' foods were...sorry for my ignorances...but I went to  Natural Products Expo East 2011 last Thursday and saw variety of organic and 'gluten-free' products. Very interesting! I also found out that most of Korean foods are gluten-free anyways! Now I'm very interested in 'gluten-free.'

More to come about that expo.

What was your breakfast today?

Gochujang red pepper paste in Costco

September 18, 2011 By Anna Leave a Comment

I found gochujang at Costco! Never heard of the company brand name 'being blue' but the price was much lower than asian market...$9.97. We bought one to try with lettuce wraps and it tasted fresh and good gochujang.

20110918-091723.jpg

We didn't try cooking with it yet, but so far we like the taste and the price. Hopefully they don't take it out from inventory. We will definitely go back for more!

Here's the back label for you to see.

Tropical Storm Lee Flash flood in Ellicott City, MD

September 8, 2011 By Anna Leave a Comment

It's raining... Raining so hard this week in Maryland and Ellicott City Rt40 was flooded and blocked.

20110908-105143.jpg

Luckily my side was 'less' flooded compare to the other side where a river was forming on the road, so I was able to get out from there whew... Swam through it Ha ha.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I've never seen any flood like this in Ellicott City before. And there was a guy on a motorcycle. I felt sorry for him. He was soaked... I hope he got home ok. I guess he was the one who really swam through that flood.

What's going on with Maryland area!!!
First the earthquake in Maryland? Hurricane Irene in Maryland Causing half million power outage? One of my friends JUST got power back...and then flooded roads?

20110908-105216.jpg

Wow... Maryland is used to heavy snowy winter stuff, but nothing like these that happened all so closely to each other.

I'm afraid to say this but what's next?...

But...I guess there's more to talk about when we start a conversation with anyone about the weather these days...

Haitai Bon Bon Orange Juice with sac

August 15, 2011 By Anna 2 Comments

Kyu invited some friends over for a Korean BBQ and Grace brought a case of this juice. This BonBon juice has been around for a long time since the 1980's I think. Commercial goes back to that year. Still Koreans love the juice with sac (pulp). And there's a competition brand Lotte SacSac. Both brands have Orange with pulp and Grape Juice with actual peeled grapes...yummm. I like the grape ones! Both brands have been around for a long time and I'm sure people have their preference.

I liked this Bon Bon Orange Juice better than Lotte Sac Sac. I haven't tried grape ones for a long time so I don't know which one I like. I think people over at the BBQ were saying Lotte Grape is better and Haitai BonBon Orange is better. I'll try both brands soon.

 

I found several old commercials...couldn't find any new ones...

I don't know if they make anymore commercials?
Anyhow it's still fun to watch the old commercials.

Scroll down & enjoy!

 

 

 

8First one was made in 1990. Kim Min Jung (actress) is in it. If you know her, you'll see that she looks the same. Ha ha.

This one was made in 1991 and animated. Ha Ha.

What to Eat After Wisdom Teeth Extraction

August 14, 2011 By Anna 2 Comments

I just got all of my wisdom teeth pulled out last Friday. My face is swollen and can't eat real food.
I'm drinking V8 as my breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

20110814-023121.jpg
No offense to V8. It's nutritious and all thank you for that. But I am craving so much different tastes.
And it's killing me. Argh.

So I'm blending watermelon and eating ice cream. Sigh. Mom got me some Mul Nangmyun.

Panera Bread pastry with My Panera card

August 1, 2011 By Anna 1 Comment

Good morning! I came for my morning coffee and got a free pastry from My Panera account. I had other stuff before but this is my first time redeeming the free stuff before it expired. Ha. They say I have a free bagel too. Coming back tomorrow for my bagel. Ha ha.

20110801-073428.jpg

My coffee~ ahhhh. I like it black. Dark roast with a hint of hazelnut.

20110801-073603.jpg

I'm trying this drinking with a straw thing. Yes, it's hot coffee. I love coffee so I usually drink water or rinse out right after but people use straws to prevent staining your teeth? Wanted to try it out. Does this help? It should...right? Feels little weird but it's fine. It's like using cup sleeves for your iced drinks because it's too cold to hold on to with my bare hands...right??
