Thank you God for fall!  I never knew how much I loved fall, I mean come on, I grew up in Texas and God must think Texans don't deserve a fall or something, because even though they 'think' they have fall, they really don't.  I have never known fall like I know it here in Korea.  The first thing I notice about fall is  the cool crispness in the air that I love to wake up to,  soon after the  leaves changing colors and I’m not talking about the leaves going from green to brown.  I’m talking bright reds, yellows, and oranges!   I even enjoy it getting dark earlier. 

One of the things I will miss most about fall in Korea is Haddoek.  Oh Haddoek, I love you.  No, I haven't give Hubby away for a hot young thing named Haddoek,  Haddoek is street food that only comes out in fall and stays through winter, once spring hits and it starts to warm up Haddoek disappears again until the fall.  Haddoek is a Korean pancake made of flour, water sugar, yeast, milk, brown sugar and cinnamon. The batter is poured onto a hot, oiled griddle in rounds like this…

Then she stuffs them with the cinnamon/brown sugar mixture and smashes them with that little thing.  (I need to get one of those 'little things')

She cooks them until they are slightly brown, turns them over and cooks on the other side until slightly brown.

Then she gives them to you in a little cardboard thing so you don't burn your fingers.  Even though I don't burn my fingers I always burn my tongue because I just cannot wait for it to cool before devouring every last drop then ordering another. They are like a sweet little dessert pancake with a cinnamon/brown sugar mixture that just oozes out of the center when you take a bite.  God how I love these things.  This day I ate 3.

    Proud Army wife and mother to 4 wonderful children.  I love to cook, travel, work out and scrapbook life’s adventures when I find the time.  We just got orders & are heading back to the states in March 2010.  I'm bummed that our time has been cut short, but proud of Hubby for the reason why.
