Working Late

Wednesday was our first day with the new 2-9:20 schedule. Mondays and Wednesdays we will be working late, so I decided to start packing dinner so we wont be tempted to eat late at night when we get home.

It was an ambitious day for me. We started by grocery shopping and we we home by 11:30. I unpacked the bags and tried to cram everything into our compact fridge. I foolishly put tortilla pizzas on the menu so I had to make tortillas before I could start making dinner. What was for dinner? Vegetable gimbap, minus the ham.


I admit it, I am a lazy vegetarian. When we go out to eat, I pick the pieces of ham out of my rice and eat the rest. Koreans put ham/"spam" in everything and I'm pretty sure they don't consider it "meat." So, I've learned to deal. Anyway, it was nice to not have to pick ham out of my dinner last night! Our veggie gimbap had daikon radish strips, homemade omelette, lightly sauteed carrots, cucumber strips and brown rice.

Here is our feast: veggie gimbap, sliced apples, sliced kiwi (for me), and big red grapes (the seeded kind is all that Korea has). We also brought a snack cake and drinkable yogurts. Michael also brought a Snickers bar. You would think this would have filled us up, but we were still a bit hungry when we got home. We didn't have breakfast since we had to go to the store and we had a very light lunch, so I think I will try to fill up the lunchboxes a little more next time. It was a good start though.
