Happy New Year!

We went to another Korean BBQ with all the teachers for our New Year's Eve dinner...it was sooooo good! Can you say Sum Gyup Sire? That's the name of this specific dish.

Check us out in our zebra striped bar...are we north cackilacky bumpkins or what? No one in the bar celebrated New Year's...Koreans do it all on the Lunar New Year. So here we all are, a bunch of Americans, the only ones screaming at midnight. Quite odd!

Our house mother (the nice Korean lady in charge of our dorm) cooked this for us...it's called Dak Kune and is the traditional meal for New Year's Day...for those that do celebrate! The white thingy's are rice noodle patties and there's also beef, egg, and seaweed in there too. It tastes a lot like chicken noodle soup...very comforting!

  2. Oh, yeah. Well I had an RC Cola on New Years Day! FYI - the Polar Bear 150 Killed!!! It was a great race and crowd. Everyone was asking for the long haired souvenir seller.....
