April 18, 2013 By Anna Leave a Comment

Hello, hello...
Yes, I'm still here trying new things and learning new things...
I had fun learning and experiencing new stuff out there...excuses excuses, but I'm still here..
Just wanted to catch up with you on my life so far...what I've been doing while being lazy posting anything here.

I love grabbing Costco's custard once in a while. I love McDonald's ice cream cones too...
Warm weather's coming...well Maryland is still deciding if it will be spring or late...very late winter...
but definitely we had good warm days and looking forward to warmer days to come!
Not looking so forward to the summer as much though....

Last winter and early spring, I went on several different day trips to New York City with different friends each time!
Different friends meant different style day trip at the same place.  But all included yummy food!

Founding Farmers Restaurant in Potomac, MD

October 31, 2012 By Anna Leave a Comment

My friends and I wanted to grab something to eat after a special early morning service at our church. HC led us to "Founding Farmers" saying that they have nice brunch. Turned out that they open later than usual on weekends. We were so hungry and angry. We ended up going to a different cafe for a quick breakfast.

H.C. promised he'll take us back there for the real Sunday Brunch and his treat!

So finally we went...
He made a reservation, just to make sure we can get a seat.  FYI, you can make a reservation online.

I am sure he wouldn't dare taking that risk with me again ...since
we tend to get really grouchy when we get hungry and no food...

well... maybe just me...my friends know to steer clear of me when I'm in that state...seriously...

Anyhow...we went there on Sunday around 11am. Nice atmosphere.

I didn't have chance to take pictures of the interior but it was nice and fresh. They are supposed to be eco-friendly and casual setting. We got to go upstairs, which felt more homey and warm. Felt like we were sitting in someone's dining room. Nice~ I liked how the servers had all different aprons on too. Cute.

On the way up to the upper dining area, I spotted this small mouse hole with fake mouse lighted... haha cute touch.

Lotte Brown Leaf Snack

September 27, 2012 By Anna Leave a Comment

Brown Leaf is the name...from Lotte.

It's individually packed snack...usually higher priced...but I like it since it's more portable and lasts longer (I can't finish the box fast enough)
Kinda reminded me of French Pies from Haitai with no fruit toppings.

I am not much of a sweet snacker. I prefer eating real food versus junk food.
Prefer salty versus sweet...etc. etc...
But then...I love cakes and ice cream. I just don't like cookies, biscuits, those sorts..

20120927-100122.jpg

When do I eat them? When someone brings it for me... ha ha ha...And this one, my aunt brought it. Thanks!
I don't think I never bought Korean packaged sweet snacks for myself before...wow...just realized it.

Full Key Chinese Restaurant Restaurant

May 21, 2012 By Anna Leave a Comment

We went to Full Key restaurant for dinner. The restaurant is small and tightly spaced so don't plan on going there as a large group. About 6 of us went and it was really tight and awkwardly spaced.

I don't really like how the tables are set there, but I loved the food. It's not greasy and with hodge podge of decorations, I felt like I was somewhere out of country...Ha ha...

I love their price and the food is great!

DongWon Spicy RaUdong-Instant noodle soup for Lunch

February 21, 2012 By Anna 1 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~!

20111019-180248.jpg

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 1 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?
