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.

I wake up today with loud music and an emcee speaking in the nearby elementary school. My husband told me that there’s something going on because he saw some tent from our window. After making my coffee I decided to check it out, I didn’t even finish drinking it I just had one sip, I changed my clothes and I went out.
When I arrived in the school entrance I saw a lot of cars and this banner but as I can’t read Hangul I can’t still figure out what was the occasion.
There’s really a lot of tent encircling the wide playground and they are full of people and food. Others are drinking soju (the popular liquor here), eating and talking to each other. There are few people in the play ground which looks like they are doing fun games, I saw some people with balloons. I didn’t take long because I am too shy to be noted and snapping around, I was not able to take good picture because there are cars and trucks blocking me from where I stand.
I walk around the school I mean the street around the school so people will not think I just went there to take pictures. Anyway when I arrived home I translated what is written in the banner and it says “The 5th Icheon Elementary School Alumni Conference” thanks to Korean Virtual keyboard and Google translate for making it possible.

Today is our cheat day, cheating from the diet. We had sausage sandwich and it is made your own, which means if I want to eat I have to make my own sandwich. As I saw the steak sauce in the kitchen I thought my husband also used it on his sandwich I added it on my own sandwich but it turns out he didn’t used it so I ate sandwich with steak sauce and hot mustard.
Well the steak sauce helps a little because I can’t the take hot mustard it tasted like wasabe and there’s electricity going to my head and sinuses.

As what I have mention before I want to change my diet by eating other food aside from chicken and meat. Well this is what I got on fish cake in tiny bites. Fish cake soup (Eomook Gook) is popular here in Korea you can find it anywhere in the street especially during winter.
It tasted like kikiam (Que-kiam) when friend, I missed eating that street food in the Philippines and now I have alternative.

I intended to bring my camera last Friday when we went to the gym so I can snap photos in the street. The national road is adorned with lanterns on different color this is already expected on month of May where Buddha’s birthday is celebrated, Prince Siddhartha Gautama. This is a holiday that is traditionally celebrated in Mahayana Buddhism.
As what I saw in the Korean calendar Buddha’s Birthday fall on May 28 and on that day the gym is closed as well as other establishments. Many temples provide free meals and tea on the day of Buddha’s birth to all visitors so if there’s temple near you, try to pay a visit. Sanche bibimbap are often provided for breakfast and lunch.

Well not really the usual ham you are thinking but it is a process one, processed ham is enormous here and can be bought in cheap price. As I am already tired cooking and eating chicken I opted again to processed food, I know it is not healthy but it is the only way I know so I am not going to be tired eating my usual meal. Next week I am back again to my chicken dishes.
Well this is what I prepared for my husband ham and egg sandwich with cheese, all I did is fried the ham top it with cheese and with the fried egg.

I am planning to cook soup but when I am about to put a cream powder I can’t find one in our kitchen cabinet. I can’t just left behind the cut vegetables so I sauteed it instead and use Ginisa Mix then I add the macaroni which I already boiled before I found out I have no soup powder.
I didn’t expect the outcome to be good but it was, ginisa mix did the job. My macaroni vegetable tasted good and I eat them all.
