COOKINGYOURCOUNTRY STRIKES BACK!

Hola!

Espero que vuestras vacaciones hayan sido tan divertidas y agotadoras como las mías. Creo que necesito unas vacaciones de las vacaciones. De hecho, he ido dejando el blog hasta que el pobre ya casi me suplicaba una muerte rápida y silenciosa. Pero por suerte para él y para todos vosotros recibí la llamada de un viejo conocido mío, el cocinero loco, que me ha pedido por favor fotos de platos que yo gustosamente le he enviado sin cobrar nada a cambio jiurjiur. Es que el pobre hombre necesitaba fotos para el menú de unos de sus restaurantes de cookingland, sí, ya sé, cosas suyas. Pero yo le sigo la corriente porque alguien que habla con un huevo-bandera tiene un serio problema.

Pues nada, que se me han gastado las fotos y el hombre se está poniendo muy nervioso, y el huevo corre peligro, ¿o es que no os habéis fijado en la barra de pan que lleva bajo el brazo? El huevo necesita ayuda, así que he reproducido en el cabecero del blog su mensaje desesperado... sed comprensivos y ayudadle a sobrevivir.

El huevo bandera quiere vivir!


bueno... yo he podido tranqulizar al cocinero loco con una foto que me dejó Jackie en la retaguardia de nuestro querido correo. Pero no es suficiente y el tiempo se acaba...

Gracias Jackie por tu nueva aportación!

La yema del Sr. Huevo sigue intacta... pero por cuanto tiempo?

Mr. Egg's yolk is still intact... but for how long?

SAVE HIM!

Fireworks!


Last night was the Sternwheel Festival in Marietta. David and I went down to see the fireworks which were awesome! I didn't get to see any on the 4th, so it was nice to get to see some this year! Around here, the Sternwheel Festival fireworks are better than the 4th's anyways! We also ran into my co-worker Missy and her husband there, so we walked around afterwards till the entertainment was over at 11pm. It was nice to hang out with someone. I think I am beginning to miss meeting with everyone back home like I use to all the time. :-)

My Uncle Chris ended up having his surgery this morning because he was bleeding so much. They got all of the tumor but it had grown outside of the wall of his intestine, so they took biopsies of the other organs surrounding it and he will most likely go on chemo. So please continue to keep him in your prayers. He is also not saved, so please pray that this experience will bring him closer to God.

Today was cleaning day for me. I got the living room finished and most of the kitchen. Tomorrow will hopefully be the rest of the dining room, bedroom and kitchen. I am trying to de-clutter in case we put the house up for sale soon. It is amazing how much stuff you can accumulate in 2 years of marriage!

Now it's off to another work week. I also look forward to weekends. I guess working full time does that to you!

I was in kelantan, twice this month.

He he he. Crazy.


Anyway, all i wanted to say is the best chapter in my life is about to end. And like always, new 555 book will be created.


Was it worth it?

Every single sweat!!!

Korean Porridge, Bon Juk

This place is across the road from Tom and Toms in Suncheon.
Its wonderful with chicken porridge , shrimp porridge , red bean porridge, abalone porridge and pumpkin porridge to name a few .

The translation for Juk is Gruel But I think Porridge is better .
