A whole lotta... nothing different

So it's all the same old same old here.  We are expecting to have the kids back in the classroom by May 4th - lends a whole new meaning to "may the 4th be with you."

Anyway, this weekend we are hoping that the cathedral in Myeongdong will be open so that J and I can go for confession.  My friend M(C) and I are planning on hitting up PF Chang's.  I know, I know, but we both could go for some good 'ol MSG filled Chinese food.  If the cathedral is open, J and I are going to hit up Vatos afterward for lunch and drinks.  Otherwise, we're still teaching online, my bank account is happier than it's been in a while, and life is plodding along until it's time for me to come home.

It's Saturday.  I've made cookies, went to OK mart on my own, Emart with M(C), and had a decent burger at Emart's food court area.  The cookies are... burned on the bottom.  Sigh... I tried, I really did.  The first pan I used got the bottoms really crisp, so I tried with a ceramic dish.  Then I couldn't get them out with a spatula so I used a fork... only 2 disintegrated on me and were subsequently disposed of (in my tum tum).  I am SO AMUSED with this process right now.  I'm telling you, I'm going to spend 24 hours in my mom's kitchen when I get home - baking cookies, making ribs, hell I might even make a friggin' CAKE if the mood takes me. 

I'm still looking forward to going to Namhae island in June, and I'm thinking of trying to figure out how to get to Busan so I can go see D.  I may have to bite the bullet and figure out how to either call a taxi or use the public trans down in Busan.  We shall see.
 Pre heating my oven.
 Batch #1
 Ceramic dish for subsequent batches.
 I miss my wire baking racks.
 Batter looked good, though.  LOL.
The ceramic dish to the rescue... and which will be the site of my next dish - chicken, broccoli, cream of mushroom soup, and either pasta or rice probably with cheese on top.  When will I be cooking this you ask... I don't know, but it's gonna be GOOD when I do!  LOL.

Much love from the other side of the big blue ocean.  :*
