Tae Geuk Dang

Tae Geuk Dang is our favorite local bakery in Icheon, they baked good cakes and breads. Their muffin is very good it is either chocolate, squash or walnut. Since we had their muffins this bakery became our favorite place to shop bake goods during our cheat day (cheating on a diet), this is just beside Paris Baguette located in the main street across the shopping centre.

As what I know this bakeshop has been established since 1971, more than 40 years of baking good cakes and breads. The owners are kind and warm too, I just don’t know these past few weeks I am seeing different woman or people already, I am wondering if the previous owner already sold this bakery, they are related or I just don’t know.

Kim’s Club Mart to Emart Everyday

Got a headache today. I might have too much salt intake and dehydrated again, we are back to the gym after one day rest. My headache was gone my husband is right after all that working out will help me to feel better. After the gym session I went to Kim’s Mart which is now Emart Everyday to buy some supplies. Anyway my husband and I was just surprised a month ago when we found out the name change. It’s been a long time since the last time we went to that Supermarket, we are already shopping in Lotte Super despite the long distance from our apartment.

I have found out online that Kim’s Club Mart was bought by E-Mart Co Ltd. It seems since last year Kim’s Club Mart market share was already in the market for bidding, and some of the bidders are GS, Home Plus, Lotte and others. According to what I have read Kim’s Club Mart is set to be bought by Home Plus but Homeplus was only willing to pay KRW 240 billion and this low offer terminated the deal.

Dog’s Health and Fitness

Keeping a dog as pet is a big responsibility, they are not just like your playmate or stress reliever. You need to take care of them by giving them proper food and nutritious diet. Regular exercise may also help to keep your dog healthy and in good shape, long walk is a very good exercise for them or playing with a ball.

With the technology today fitness machine are not only made for human, there are also dog treadmill which is made for dogs fitness, this is one of the best alternative when you don’t have time to take your dog for a walk at night or in the morning. A dog treadmill is a good substitute but it doesn’t fully replace long walk or run for your dog though this machine will help to keep your dog in good shape.

Dog treadmill also come on different sizes depending upon the weight of your dog, it is also available on manual, electrical, light weight and heavy weight.

Careless with my Camera

I am being careless these past few days I took my newly charged camera the other night to the gym to take some photos.  Today when I went out to pay our utility bills I carry it with me and hile walking around I have thought of snapping some photos and in my surprised my camera doesn’t power on, it was low battery.

"Icheon,

Maybe I forgot again to turn the camera off the last time I have used it because that what also happened a few days ago, when I opened my camera bag I have found out that the camera was already on. My husband just shake his head while telling me that’s how things go bad. Argh, I was not able to take some shots outside today!

Kimchi Sleeping with Eggs

I just find this picture below cute, Kimchi is sleeping with the eggs below our  abuhan (stove). We are looking for her but we can’t find her around and when I went to the kitchen I saw her peacefully sleeping so I didn’t waste any time and I look for my camera to take a picture. Dunno what she thinks, my sister and mother says maybe Kimchi is thinking she is a chicken but I think she just find solace and warm in the chicken’s nest.

So every time she is missing around we already know where to find her.  Probably we are not going to be surprised anymore if the eggs hatched early. Hehe

Baked Goods, Chicken and Pizza

Another week ends and that means cheat day, after a short walk we just took a quick shower and went out to go to the bank and afterwards we went to Nong Hyup  supermarket to buy butter but we also ended up buying chips as well.

We then visited Tae Guk Dung to buy brown bread but it turns out they don’t have so I only bought chocolate muffins and we then went to the nearby Paris Baguette where we buy most of our baked goods.

After it we went to GS25 to buy some food, so we feasted on a lot of food like smoked chicken, pizza, noodles and  chocolates.

Mussels in Korea

 

For the first time my husband allowed me to eat clams inside our apartment actually at first he didn’t want me to buy the mussels but later on he agreed. He is somehow worried of the stench, but I told him clams/mussels doesn’t smell unlike dried fish.

Mussels can be cooked by steaming, grilling or baking them but I just boiled mine with salt and dropped two heads of garlic after washing them thoroughly.  When it was cooked I ate my lunch and as expected I ate a lot, yeah right I love seafood so much. I felt sick after eating though maybe because I ate a I almost ate them all in one meal but I have thought my husband, so I left a few which I also ended eating up because my he doesn’t like it.

 

Seoul Milk on Buy One Take One

We walked around the town according to our schedule and when we passed by the Emart  Everyday we went inside to buy chicken breast and other food supplies that we need. We are not supposed to buy large carton of milk but when we saw Seoul Milk, two for a price of one and the expiration is going to be month from now my husband told me to get it. So I did, since I wasted milk (not drinking before the expiration) I only buy the small carton which is two glasses.

Street View: Fall in Korea

We only visit the gym three times a week and every second and fourth day of the week we are walking around the town. It became our habit before our vacation in the Philippines.  Below is the photo I have taken the other day while we are doing our routine in the late afternoon, the trees are all in yellow colors.

Fall in Korea

The weather is already cold as expected so I am already wearing my winter jacket when we are walking, and of course I am not going to forgot to bring my camera.

Importance of Colostrum to Puppies

When I  arrived in our neighborhood what caught me is the tiny little dogs that are wandering to seek for food. They are very tiny that could be mistaken for chihuahua but they are not because they are local dog. I think they are too small because they didn’t get enough milk from the mother dog or they are not able to drink the first milk from their mother which is called colostrum.

Colostrum is the important first milk in puppies which provides nutrition, fluids, and immunity from disease causing organisms. Dogs and cats, like many other mammals, pass the majority of the maternal antibodies to the newborn via colostrum. Defined as the first 24 hours of milk flow following birth, colostrum is a highly concentrated mixture of large protein antibody molecules, water, vitamins, electrolytes, and nutrients

My Uncle who owns the dog call them Brahman’s dunno where did he get the name it is from the cow’s breed or from watching cartoons during day time.
