It felt like it was been a long time since I ate solid food and I am very hungry.  I think it was really because my husband was dismayed when the pot of rice turns bad, oh well blame it to my wisdom tooth or to me?

Anyway I cooked adobo the other day and what made it new is I added green peas into it and I have bought that can of green peas over a month ago and I just found a use for it.

When I am still a child I remember how I hate green peas in food or simply in in junk foods like cornick. Honestly I don’t eat them I throw them but now I love the taste of it!

One of our neighbor has  a Cockatiel  and  the bird is very disturbing  especially early in the morning where usually we are still sleeping. The bird just keep on crying everyday to my husband’s irritation because it is too loud and I supposed the owner was also disturbed by the constant noise from the bird after few days we can’t hear the bird anymore dunno if what happened to it. Maybe our neighbor return it to a pet shop or resell it to someone who can bear the noise of it, I think having that kind of bird will be a nice idea if you have no neighbors.

Cockatiel  is  is the smallest cockatoo endemic to Australia and  also known as the Quarrion and the Weiro. They are easy to breed and well known as a household pet and companion parrot throughout the world.

If there’s one thing that Korea should built that is a lot of parking area for cars. Cars are enormous here so you will not be surprised if you will find them park in the streets that can cause delayed to some people. Especially if there are some drivers who don’t know the right way to get in and to get out.

As you can see the street could only be used for one car because the other half is already used as car park. So you need to be careful while walking in the streets you may never know what will happen if the driver is busy on his phone.

As I am quite busy everyday and cooking  a viand that will give a lot of work to me is not a good idea. So I always ended up cooking simple viand like what I did with the pork I bought. I just fried it in little amount of oil and dropped some salt, black pepper and chilli powder on it.

Normally when we have a dog they sleep inside our house when they are still young but when they are grown up they sleep outside our house because they create a lot noises and don’t want to stay in one place. So we normally let them stay in our front porch.

Well I know we should build a dog house but our place is not the best idea to have one, only small rain and there’s a little flood so I don’t think our dog will feel secure and comfortable on it because like people dogs are also sensitive to weather, they can succumb to extreme cold and health and might cause sort of problems to them, they might create a lot of noises too.

Today is my husband’s birthday but we celebrated it yesterday when we went to Seoul to buy new lens for his DSLR camera, we ate in a Kazakhstan Restaurant that serves Kazakh and Russian food. Most of the food we ordered are Russian cuisine, anyway after our sumptuous meal we looked for A La Do a Russian Bakery but we already spend a lot of time looking for it we never found it so we decided to take the subway back to the bus terminal, better luck next time.

We are not able to get the current bus when we reached the platform the bus is already moving away, I felt embarrassed when my husband pointed out the long line to me . So we went at the back on the line but when a new bus arrived which is not going to Icheon the people moved to the bus and there’s a new line forming in Icheon platform so we transferred there but as the line is growing a not so old man caught are attention, saying that the old line is going to Icheon. Confusing huh? So we transfer again in the line and just on time a new bus to Icheon arrived.

Our trip to the city today almost didn’t materialized. As usual I woke up ahead of the alarm clock and when the alarm clock rings I am waiting for my husband to stand up and get ready to go but he seems very tired that he just turn off the alarm clock and continue to sleep so I didn’t bother him anymore I let him sleep I just open my laptop and check my mails.

When we woke up after few hours I have asked him if we are still going to do our plans but he said I didn’t wake him up so it is too late to go Seoul but after few times of hesitation we eventually decided to go. We first bought a new lens or his DSLR camera in Technomart and then take the subway to the place where we planned to eat.

We are almost lost because my husband went to wrong exit, he didn’t bother to hear me that the right exit is on the left. Oh well I just follow him and we eventually find the Kazakhstan Restaurant in exit 7 of Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Station, when you went out the exit just turn right  on the small alley and the restaurant is just straight ahead.

We ordered few foods for us to eat we had Besbarmak, horse meat in dough. According to what I have read the term Beshbarmak means “five fingers”, because the dish is eaten with one’s hands. The boiled meat is usually diced with knives and often mixed with boiled noodles. It is usually served in a big round dish.

Pelmeni which is more of Russian cuisine, this is a dumplings wrapped in dough with sour cream and butter.

Golubsty or cabbage rolls this is  a classic Russian dish. A beef mixture with rice is wrapped in cabbage leaves top with sour cream and other vegetables. This is very delicious and worth trying to eat, I love it honestly!

Shashlik this is skewered lamb and it is very good and great taste.

We also got Turskish bread

My over all impression with the restaurant is it is impressive the food are good and worth your money. The service is nice too, the place is quite good and relaxing.

I wake up very early today and finally I am able to send the package home it has been sitting here for few months already. My husband carry it to the post office,  I also told him I might borrow some of his money in case I need more and my money is not enough. Well I had enough but the fact that the postal fee increases already,  the fee increased with 2 kilos rate.

I went back to sleep after going home from the post office and when I wake up again I cooked soup for breakfast and lunch. I can’t eat solid food my wisdom tooth is bothering me again, instead of growing downwards it grew sideways so it is touching my gums.

I just felt bored frying and eating the smoked ham so the other day I cooked it in different way I sauteed it with carrots. I cut the ham and the carrots in tiny tidbits and cooked it.

Ingredients:

Smoked Ham, carrots, oil, onions, garlic, black pepper, salt and chili powder

Procedure:

• Saute the garlic and onion
• Add the ham which are only cut into small pieces, fried it until brown
• Add the small pieces of carrots, mix it
• Add black pepper, salt and chili powder
• Cooked it until the carrots are half cooked
• Served it with rice or a loaf of bread. This is also good for sandwich.

This is my second sandwich last Friday, I am only able to eat two sandwiches because I can’t take the taste of the hot mustard it tasted like wasabi.

For the second try my husband told me to wipe the hot mustard in the bread and not just drop it in the sausage, so I did but it turns out I put a lot so I ended up not eating the whole sandwich I ate the sausage alone.
