On a recent trip to the fish market, I got stuck behind this. A man pulling this cart (walking) in the middle of the street.

Hubby's promotion party was a great success; we had a Mexican Fiesta with tons of food, and great margarita! Thanks to many of my friends that pitched in to help! I think Hubby is glad all the hoopla is over. He doesn't really like being the center of attention, and I tend to go overboard sometimes. Here is a sampling of the yummy food we had. Kathie, notice the bowls with the salsa, guacamole, cheese and lettuce? The bowls with the black bottoms with the blue inside? Those are the bowls I bought for you & T....sorry about that! :) I played bartender all night....I've never made so many margaritas in my life! Every time I turned around the pitcher was empty. Everyone seemed to have a great time, even the dog. I was a little fearful of what might come out of him (the dog) later because he ate anything that was left sitting anywhere close to the floor. I even caught him drinking out of a few glasses that were left sitting on the floor. Don't worry, each time I saw that, I threw the cup out.... Thankfully, he didn't get sick. OK, here is another one! This one is of Boy 3, I have taken you to the main catalogue page, just click on the numbers to see more pictures. When you are done looking through all the numbers just start clicking around and you will find more pictures of him. Go to this website and look for pictures of Boy 2 & Boy 3! Now seriously, who could resist a restaurant called 'Sunny Days', especially since the days have not been so 'sunny' here in Korea for the past month or so. Sure, Mr. Sun peaks out every once and a while to tease us, but then just as quickly as he came out, he goes back and hides behind the clouds again. I don't know what is wrong with him lately. Anyway, I had read about this burger joint called 'Sunny Days' a few weeks back on another blog, and this person said this was a pretty good place to get a burger, and something has had me wanting a good burger, actually, I have been wanting a Denton Independent hamburger to be precise. So, the other night I decided NOT to cook and take everyone out for a good burger. This little restaurant is in Iteawon, when you leave post out the walk out gate, it is right before you get to Starbucks on your right. First came the french fries, they aren't my favoite type of french fry, I like the skinny ones, but these were very good and hot! Next came the nachos....again, not my type of nachos, but our kids loved them and that is who we ordered them for. I ended up not even ordering a burger though; I ordered the chicken teriyaki sandwich, which is pictured below. My sandwich was good & the dressing on the salad was wonderful. Oh, and the bread was so fresh! Then came the burgers....this is the 'sweet chili burger'. The burgers did not meet the expectations we have set for a 'good' burger. Yes, Hubby and Boy 1 ate all their burgers, but Hubby said he had to NOT think of it as a burger. We are pretty sure the meat is not 100% ground beef, and we couldn't pinpoint what we thought it was. In conclusion, the staff was wonderful, the owner very nice, and the atmosphere was cozy. I would go back again if I were taking the kids and I would stick to the sandwiches. The kids love it and it was pretty easy on the checkbook, only 35,000 won (roughly $25USD) for 6 people. The second cake was MUCH better as you can see from the picture above. Check out the inside, super moist and scrumdibleeumpsious!!. If you love, or even just like carrot cake...try this one, you will not be disappointed!!
Or maybe I should have called this blog "over confident". I tend to think I am a pretty good cook. I think anyone can be a good cook. I mean all you have to do is read a recipe, follow the directions and "bam" there is your food. For me anytime I do this, things come out just as the recipe described them. Never fear, I already have another one in the oven, and I still have 7 hours until the party! Good mom or bad mom? You decide. Yesterday I had a “to do” list about a mile long. I worked about 1/4 of the way through my list, and decided I was done, so I hopped in the van, went to the elementary school and picked up my daughter. Now I feel compelled to remind you that girl is in first grade, and she is a wonderful student. I have been promising to take girl for a haircut and manicure for a few weeks now and something keeps coming up. Today was that day. She was so surprised when I picked her up from school early (without warning) that she ask if she had a dentist appointment. J |
