I am officially an honorary Korean. Yesterday I purchased, and successfully cooked with, gochujang. This stuff is intense, to say the least. Quite spicy and mildly risky to cook with (if you get it in your eyes/open cuts, you're screwed).
The dish I cooked was ddeokbokgi, which is a popular street food in Korea. I'd say mine turned out just as good as what you can find from the vendors!
This week has been pretty awesome. On Tuesday we had Sport's Day, which is much like Track and Field day back in the states. Then Wednesday was Children's Day, which is a national holiday, so there was no school! That only left two days of teaching in the week! This weekend, I'll be heading up to Incheon airport to welcome Andrew back from Taiwan. He was able to take off since his school decided not to have classes after Children's Day. (So while I've been teaching yesterday and today, he's been traipsing around Taiwan... lucky!)
Also, summer has officially kicked in this week. It's sunny and a balmy 70-ish degrees! Can't complain!
I hope you're all well! Take care!
