As what I have said to my other blog I am starving myself because of being a picky eater, I usually ate late but its being more late lately, so you are not going to be surprised if I keep telling “I don’t feel well” because I just ate when I my head is already aching (lol), as my Pookie bear always says “You always don’t feel well!” Yeah, right so there’s nothing new about it, I think I have been eating eggs for almost a week, boiled eggs and fried eggs, no scramble eggs so lazy to cut onions and garlic. Haha, what I mean I don’t like it except there’s tomatoes which I forgot to buy the last time we shop.

Maybe you are asking what’s happening to me, all I can say is I am craving for vegetables, pinakbet, ginatang langka, laing, ginisang monggo or ginatan, chopsuey, malunggay, kamote tops, kangkong, oh well I want to eat vegetables especially green leafy vegetables, call me a goat but I love munching leafy vegetables. I also want to eat fresh fish with soup (sinabawan), ginata or paksiw and yeah even prito. I never eat fish here, because Pookie bear don’t like the smell so imagine my food here it is always meat and chicken (because I already retired eating noodles) which we seldom eat in the Philippines, maybe that’s the reason why I weigh too much. I ate vegetables but it is just squash which is too hard to peel, I don’t like their eggplant here it is too old, that the seeds are fully grown up. Ahhh, I missed my vegetarian meal. Someone please  send me a bowl of cooked vegetables kahit saluyot or kangkong pa yan, I am thankful already. He-he

Hi guys, how’s your weekend?  Mine is working fine aside from I am starving, lol. There are times I came to the point I don’t feel like eating what is around, tired of it. Anyway I don’t know if I am really tired or just too lazy to cook my food because been addicted surfing online.

We didn’t hike yesterday because according to weather forecast it is going to rain so we are awake until 4 AM because we already cancelled the supposed hiking day, and guess what it did not rain. Pookie bear don’t like to do it today (Sunday) so we moved it again to the next next weekend, don’t know if it will materialized that time, let’s just hope and see.I was bored last night not until I remember my old emails and when I open them, there’s a lot of spam mails from social networking sites I have joined when I am newbie to internet, like in Tagged, Fanbox, Hi5 and etc., I am thinking of deleting all my online affiliations but thinking of how old are them, it stop me. You know me everything has  sentimental value, that’s why my husband called me a packed rat and my stuff as a junk. Haist,!

For sure you know it already today is the 119th Anniversary of the first Documented Ice cream sundae, so let’s celebrate. “Manong isang apa nga diyan!”

Evanston was one of the first locations to pass a blue law against selling ice cream sodas in 1890. “Some ingenious confectioners and drug store operators [in Evanston]… obeying the law, served ice cream with the syrup of your choice without the soda. Thereby complying with the law … This sodaless soda was the Sunday soda.” As sales of the dessert continued on Mondays, local leaders then objected to naming the dish after the Sabbath. So the spelling of the name was changed to Sundae.

The other night I have blogged about the fun we had with our new electric grill, we bought two kinds of marinated meat, Pookie bear was the one who put the meat in the electric grill and I am the one who turn it to be cook.

Above is Galbi,  a marinated beef short ribs  in a ganjang-based sauce (Korean soy sauce). In the Korean language, galbi literally means “rib” and can often indicate uncooked ribs. In addition, the dish’s full name is galbi gui, although “gui” (grilling) is commonly omitted to refer to it.

Above is Dweji bulgogi  or Spicy pork bulgogi it is also a popular Korean barbecue dish and it is quite different from beef bulgogi because it is marinated is gochugang (Korean chili powder) and not in soy sauce.

Here’s a tray of my treats few weeks ago, gimbap and some chocolates. You know some of the gimbaps are spicy so I really need some sweets after eating a spicy one, I can’t tell what’s the flavor not until I open it because I can’t read Hangul. I love to eat gimbap today but when we visit Family Mart,  nothing has left maybe it is all sold out.

The flavor or other term varies to tuna, bugolgi, bugolgi hot and spicy, meat with kimchi, and many more.

There are times I don’t feel like cooking that’s why I love having an instant food at home where I can just heat it in the microwave oven and ready to eat. Unfortunately I don’t like most of the instant food here not just because they are hot and spicy but because I am not used too.

One night I have been hooked up on my online activities when I felt my stomach needs for food, I don’t wanna cook because I will spend a lot of time so I just eat rice and gim. I love eating gim not like before that I almost vomit with the smell. Gim (kim) is a Korean-style edible seaweed in the genus Porphyra, similar to the Welsh-style laver and Japanese-style nori.

• Saute the garlic and onion 
• Put the kimchi, mixed it with the onions and garlic and cooked for few minutes 
• Add the rice (steamed) and mix it all together 
• Then add the eggs and soy sauce just continue mixing it like frying a normal fried rice
•  Seasoned it with salt to taste
• Serve hot.

Most of us eat rice as our everyday meal. How much is enough rice for you? As I am blogging this I am just done eating my dinner (below) and I am just done cooking brown rice and currently cooking white rice.  Lol, we cooked two kind of rice, brown for Pookie bear and white for me. We just interchange our skin color,.

Back to my question how big is rice in your plate? Lately I have noticed I frequently cooked rice so I have asked Pookie bear to lie low from eating my white rice because he also eat white rice especially after gym. When he saw my plate, he told me I am the one who is eating too much because he just ate 295 grams of rice for two meal. I was embarrassed upon seeing my plate its a normal size for me but the way I look at it it is for two people. It looks like the mult-vitamin from the hello kitty case is effective, I am having a strong appetite just like the first time I take Pookie bear vitamins when I first arrived here in Korea. I have stopped it when I noticed I always feel hungry and I eat a lot and gained a lot of weight.

So I think I have to stop taking that tablet I am already depressed with my weight and I am now adding more fats to me.  Hu-hu

Anyway if you still don’t know rice is a good source of complex carbohydrates and acts as a good source of protein alternatives for meat in a vegetarian diet. It says the increase in rice decreases the intake of meat in the Asian diet. Well I think not to me because I am the only one eating meat here on weekdays.

I have cooked Chicken Kimchi Stew today and as expected Pookie bear ate it and used the soup on his fried white eggs.

As what I have said before I love experimenting with food, these past few days I have been tired eating adobo, chicken or pork. I want to try another dish and we have nothing here but kimchi so I tried to cook chicken and kimchi the other day and the result was great. I’m loving it!

Pookie bear says it doesn’t look good, so I told him to try it because it tasted good but he won’t do it because he said he is on a diet. After few hours I found two chicken bones in the sink  and then my food container is almost empty, well your guess is right as mine Pookie bear cannot resist the temptation so I told him about his diet he just said he will ate small amount in the evening than the usual amount, he is  also using the soup to his scrambled egg. So as of today I have cooked another chicken kimchi stew and someone’s gonna drool over it. Lol!

My ingredients:

Chicken, Kimchi, Salt, Black pepper, Oil, Onion, Garlic, Water
