A Little Spice

Isn’t the color of this stew is insanely appetizing? Who would have thought that ingredients like a little honey, soy sauce, garlic, onions, Korean red chili pepper paste (gochujang), Korean red chili pepper flakes (gochugaru), and some other key ingredients, would slow cook so nicely?

I made this very popular Korean chicken dish called, Dakdoritang 닭도리탕, in my slow cooker tonight for dinner. Its chicken cooked in a spicy red sauce with vegetables. Ah! I just cannot get enough Korean cuisine. So, what are your thoughts? Would you dare? I’d love to share! If you want the recipe, just let me know.

My “little helper” bahaha! Yeah right. I think the better name would be snoozer.

Winter Wonderland

Lately all I feel like doing is staying in. Being cozy. Keeping warm. I guess it doesn’t help that the temperatures continue to dip very low here in the evenings. Luckily for me we had an early dismissal from work today due to the weather and the road conditions. A real winter wonderland here in Korea.

Wait..I know what you are thinking.. and yes, we are from the North.. but It’s been very frigid and frosty here the past week. I feel like I’ve been living in my PJ’s. I can’t think of anything but jumping right into something fleecy right after work. Are you that type too?

Its hard to get motivated to leave ones home. Not to mention that little tree of mine is ever so distracting. Its so simple but so cute. Maybe I can blame my not wanting to leave the house on our tree, yes… that’s it! I mean we really only get to enjoy it one month out of the year, why wouldn’t I want to make the most of it. Wink, Wink.

Hope you are staying toasty and cozy in your neck of the woods.
