Eating here and there

     Above these words you're reading now is a picture of a bowl of Kimchi Jeegay (stew).  It was HOT!  Kimchi is made from cabbage, red pepper paste, and other ingredients of the cooks preference.  In addition to kimchi, this bowl of stew had sliced green peppers in it and clams in the shell.

      That's chicken and pasta in white sauce and a side of garlic toast as served at a restaurant near Gumi train station.  The price was 8000 wons.


      One of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever eaten can be bought at Paris Baguette, which is a chain of bakeries all over South Korea.  Usually, half of it is all I need for lunch, so I save the other half for another meal.  They do espresso coffee too for 2500 wons a cup (that's the cheapest price in town for coffee served in a mug).  The cookie was 700 wons and the sandwich was about 3800 wons.  You do the math.


     They call then "Coffee Buns."  Before they bake them, they put a brown sugar and butter cream all over the top.  The bun is slightly crispy on the outside, but hollow and steamy on the inside.  They're popular all over Korea.


      After working out at the gym, I stopped at Paris Baguette for lunch.  They didn't have any more of the chicken sandwich that I love so much, and I don't wanna talk to much about the food I bought.  It filled me, but wasn't satisfying.  The coffee and the milk were good though!

   




      That's "Dalk Galbi" (chicken) in the pan with kimchi and cheese.  It's spicy and delicious.  That's a friend of mine stirring it up.

Tuna, veggies, and brown bread.

     It was Teacher Appreciation Day, and some of my students gave me a few things.  Sweet!
