Very easy to prepare when you are hungry and in hurry, just cook it in hot water and ready to eat when its cook. This is what I eat these past few days when I have no time to cook for viand.

At first I thought it is espasol a cylinder-shaped Filipino rice cake originating from the province of Laguna. It is made from rice flour cooked in coconut milk and sweetened coconut strips, dusted with toasted rice flour but its not it is Injeolmi  is a variety of tteok, or Korean rice cake, made by steaming and pounding glutinous rice flour, which is shaped into small pieces and usually covered with steamed powdered dried beans or other ingredients.

Injeolmi is not only a popular snack but also is considered a high quality tteok, used for janchi, party, feast, or banquet) in Korea. It is easily digested and nutritious.Injeolmi can be stored in a refrigerator and taken out when needed. If the tteok is heated slightly in the microwave, it may taste almost as good as the newly made one.

Here’s another version of egg whites from my husband’s meal. The egg whites are fried and scramble in little amount of olive oil and onions and then he pour steak sauce.

Today is just another busy day, I wake up at noon time. After earning points on my adgitize account I have to start cooking, yeah right stressing.

Anyway our apartment stench again that I need to close the bathroom door, it seems the people in the second/third floor is making kimchi because it stinks like one. We are on the ground floor so I guess when they washed their dish and the water went to the drain the gas went up. Yesterday it also stinks like garlic and kimchi, then later afternoon I found out that there are people having barbecue party in the garage so probably they prepared kimchi for their barbecue party and washes the dishes today.

Chicken is part of my husband’s diet so when he felt tired of eating same preparation, he make sure I have to cook  it differently, one of this is grilling into our electric grill.

Well it’s easy but smokey,  I just wished our apartment has an open balcony so we can grill anytime.

It’s not yet November but stores already displays a lot of loot for Pepero Day,  small and big pepero. I normally feel ashamed taking photos but this time I took my chance to take a snap and as what I am expected my husband walk away from me.  It looks like it is a crime to take photo ah, anyway he don’t like it when I always snap here and there, he always said I am embarrassing him.

Pepero Day is an observance in South Korea similar to Valentine’s Day. It is named after the Korean snack Pepero and held on November 11, since the date “11/11” resembles four sticks of Pepero. The holiday is observed mostly by young people and couples, who exchange Pepero sticks, other candies, and romantic gifts. Lotte denies starting the holiday and instead states that they noticed a bump in Pepero sales around November 11th and after continued popularity they decided to then encourage the holiday with special gift boxes and other promotions.Some consider it to be a contrived holiday and some teachers have encouraged children to exchange healthy snacks to help combat obesity. An alternative “Garaetteok Day” (sticks of white tteok) has been proposed.

When I first arrived here in Korea I don’t like the taste of the food, so aside from eating noodles all the time the instant food in this yellow boxes is always my meal until such time I also feel tired eating them.  We don’t cook in Seoul it is only later we did it, so I normally eat instant food.

I have been craving for Pork and Beans and the other day I fed that craving. We don’t really eat Pork and Beans, I just heard and saw this when I am still a toddler and since then I am fascinated what does it taste like. When I am in college and we had a tree planting, my friend and I had an agreement I would bring cooked rice and she would bring our viand. To my surprised she brought two cans of Pork and Beans., so instead of  feeling disappointed I feel excited well at least I can taste what Pork and Beans tasted like.

As what I have read the recipe for typical American canned pork and beans varies considerably, but generally consists of navy beans stewed with pork or rendered pork fat. At present, pork and beans is usually also stewed with tomatoes, but this is a 19th century development. Pork and beans is a dish that is routinely purchased canned and reheated on a stove or in a microwave oven.

I am the only one who drink coffee here so I mostly used three-in one coffee which is  common in every store. Drinking coffee is addictive but if you don’t know coffee is actually one of the healthiest beverages billions of people consume regularly.  According to what I have read:

• a coffee containing with bitter orange, hydroxycitric acid, and chromium can encourage an increase up to 30% in metabolic rate.
• Coffee with exercise when taking 300mg averages a 20% increase in energy and fatigue while burning fat increased 107% greater than without caffeine.
•  Caffeine in coffee keeps our brains alert and receptive of new information. • Regular consumption of coffee decreases the risk of type II diabetes and many other health risks.

If coffee has an advantages there’s also disadvantages:

• Coffee when consumed in excess can be addictive, stimulate, and a mood charger. • A large amount of coffee or caffeine consumed all at once can have a negative affect on blood sugar levels that influences fat burning that could change into storing fat. • Too much coffee over time can stain your teeth.

I am quite busy lately and as usual both online and offline. Offline I need to cook a lot for my husband’s meal, it is every three hours. I just cooked three or four times a day because few of his meals are just whey and small portion of rice. Despite of this I still feel very busy that I felt procrastinated to post something on my blogs. Dunno if this procrastination is brought by too much work just to published a post. Imagine in WordPress I need to upload it in other site and etc. unlike in blogger all I need is to directly upload the photo in my post.

Anyway I wake late today and still sleepy. I was not able to finish adgitizing because I have no more time to do it I have too cook some chicken in hot and spicy sauce.
