Long time no see

Wow it's been about a year since I updated my blog. As I hunted for ways to get back to Korea it took a back seat. A lot has happened in the last year. Good, bad, weird....but I am finally back in Korea studying for a masters degree and getting someone else to pay for it. Nice!

Right now should be a strange time to make a blog post. Its 3.15am in the morning and I am up studying for next week's exam hell - 4 exams and a presentation. No mercy. In fact someone told me there is no Korean word for mercy. Not sure if that's true. I am in a hazy half dream world. My brain is constantly drifting from the finer points of international law to more immediately pertinent issues like what am I going to eat at the weekend?

So before I get my arse back into gear and share some of the recipes I learnt in my long absence, I want to delight you with some images of some of my recent food experiences. Never let it be asked why I live in this wonderful country.... and writing my blog again feels like putting on a lovely, warm, familiar fur coat which has been sat in the wardrobe all year, waiting for me.

Hello long-lost Recipe Queen! Glad to see you're back! I am on a "no eating out" month here in Wonju, so if you could give me a few easy to whip up recipes, I'd be happy to try them! Also, ones that work well in lunch boxes! Anyway, glad you're in writing mode again.

Hi Danielle.. food for lunch boxes sounds like an excellent idea for a blog post actually! Give me a week til these stupid exams are over and I'll be on it. Wow you are a real Korean wife now. lol

Hi I stumbled across your blog today and thought aha here is the girl who could help me. I am trying to find out the name of or even the name of this style of korean restaurant that i ate at in seoul. we were in myeungdong shopping when we cam across a restaurant full of students and very cheap. There was a big saucepan in centre of the table and the dish was a whole lot of rice and meat tipped into the saucepan and fried up for us by the waitress. Not korean bbq. I would love to know what this was called - any help??

Hi it sounds like dakk galbi - which I've had in Myeongdong before. They cook chicken and vegetables all together with sauce and then you eat with rice or sometimes the rice comes later and then you mix it up with the left over sauce and fry it up. Sorry for the late reply btw :)
