Food

Just a few photos of what I have been eating for dinner lately. My breakfast usually is Blueberry Greek yogurt and lunch is served at my school. 


This is the first meal that I made in my new home. Chicken pasta in a basil pasta sauce with lots of delicious vegetables. Cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, avocados, garlic and carrots.

One night we went to Don Enrique for Mexican food. I had a beef burrito and a lime margarita. The burrito was nowhere near as good as the ones that you can get at Takorea, the Mexican restaurant in Eunhangdong that we went to a lot last year. The margarita, was, of course, wonderful. 

Another at home creation. A chicken vegetable wrap with Black Sesame dressing. 

On Monday night, David, Sarah and I walked down the street from our school to Bukhara and had some wonderful Indian food. Well worth the price. This is Beef Akbara  (spelling is probably wrong) and it was amazing as usual. I get it every time I go to Bukhara and I am never disappointed. It's not spicy, and they always give large amounts of beef in the curry. I usually get two orders of garlic naan bread to go with it. I never have any regrets eating here.

Deep fried dumplings. Or as they are known here, deep fried mandu. In Korea you can get mandu either fried or steamed. I prefer fried because the steamed ones always remind me of brains (that's what it looks like!), and because they don't taste as good. I made these at home in my first ever frying experience. They were great and I was really proud of my new found culinary skill in frying. Please ignore my feet which I didn't realize were in this picture.

Starbucks. As everyone here probably knows, I love Starbucks. I didn't take this picture for the drink though, but one of my first macaroons. I don't know about you, but it seems like every time I am on the internet I see macaroons artfully and prettily displayed in some pictures. Really it's advertising at its best (or worst depending on how you look at it). I broke down and decided to try a blueberry one from Starbucks for $2.00. It wasn't all that bad. The cookie was hard and yet soft and crumbly, and the filling had actual blueberries in it, which I was surprised to discover.
