Simple things are being complicated when Pookie bear and I don’t agree with each other, we went to Kim’s Club Mart on Friday night, yes we are shopping in two super market and the dove body wash is in the other store. Anyway we bought two package of bulgogi for our grilled party (lol). I also bought bread for me, I choose these bread cake below, I called it pudding but Pookie bear don’t agree with me. He said it is not, it is baked that way, he don’t believed me when I told him it is really a pudding and it is made of old bread. He said it is like a date loaf with raisins, the bread is all eaten but we are still consistent with our own belief.
Maybe we should ask the bakeshop so we’re going to agree to each other what is the name of this bread, which is impossible because I can’t imagine how to explain it in the air that I am asking for the name of this bread.

Meet “Blackie”, I don’t know what’s his name I just called him Blackie every time I saw him around the neighborhood. I think the store owner in the corner owns him, because that’s where I saw him at night, he is busy smelling for food in the garbage bag when I throw some egg cartoons, just so lucky I brought my camera as we are going to the gym, he posed for me but he looked quite unhappy. His cute, isn’t it?

There are times I am asking myself where I am got wrong err what I mean why feel so darn lazy to post something here, maybe because I have nothing to write, writer’s block? I think mental block is more appropriate because I think I am going crazy, hahaha! Joke only, anyway we had another grilled party last night don’t expect too much because it is just Pookie bear and me, while I am busy in front of our electric grill someone is having a pretty life in front of his computer and keep asking me if I am not done yet and so on, demanding huh?
As a result our apartment stinks again, well my duty is not done yet by grilling the bulgogi, laundry is waiting and a pot of rice need to be cook. It’s a busy night while I am mending my stomach cramps, the good thing is after I am done I can asked him whatever I like to eat, like making a sandwich for me and please a glass of water too. Haha, just give and take. Well it is not yet over, I have to run to the nearest GS 25 for chocolates, just glad that he don’t ate it all there are some left just for me.,
We did not shop yet so I don’t have yet the other kind of Dove Moisture Body Wash, he is giving me money but I feel lazy and cold to go out.

The other day I cooked some spaghetti, I did not eat rice the whole day but I still eat carbohydrates, isn’t it? I sauteed the ground pork with the left over instant spaghetti sauce in one bottle.
Then use new bottle of spaghetti sauce to mix it with my pasta, so this is how it look likes.

Here’s a photo taken few days ago, I asked him to take photo of me and here’s the result. Smile! He just love playing around every time I ask him to take a photo of me.
Nothing to post, its a wordless Wednesday. I cooked spaghetti today for my meal, Pookie bear used some sauce to his eggs. As I am frying some eggs, I was surprised when the oil spark or whatever you may called it so I dropped some white eggs to the pasta, later on when Pookie bear ate he is preparing a serving of his rice when he accidentally flicked the spoon and your guess as good as mine he also drop some rice in the floor. He sounds angry when I asked him what happened, he thought I am going to “scold” him (lol), anyway when I told him what I did to his fried eggs, he didn’t scold me he just laugh and told me he knows it because his fried egg is quite smaller than usual, I added two egg whites but maybe what I drop into my pasta is more than two egg whites. I boiled some water to wash my pasta it might get spoiled with the egg whites eh. We’re both clumsy today huh?

The other night I have blogged about the fun we had with our new electric grill, we bought two kinds of marinated meat, Pookie bear was the one who put the meat in the electric grill and I am the one who turn it to be cook.
Above is Galbi, a marinated beef short ribs in a ganjang-based sauce (Korean soy sauce). In the Korean language, galbi literally means “rib” and can often indicate uncooked ribs. In addition, the dish’s full name is galbi gui, although “gui” (grilling) is commonly omitted to refer to it.
Above is Dweji bulgogi or Spicy pork bulgogi it is also a popular Korean barbecue dish and it is quite different from beef bulgogi because it is marinated is gochugang (Korean chili powder) and not in soy sauce.

There’s a lot of pizza place around us which took only 5-10 minutes but believed it or not but we went to E-mart which is 35 minutes far from us just to buy this slice of pizza and walked home again after wards.
Haha, actually we are looking for something other than pizza, we decided to walk to test how far is it because mostly we are taking a taxi as we don’t know the exact location of the shopping mall. So today it materialized, buying a pizza is just accidentally when we passed along the pizza stall. I am so lucky to pick a different flavor huh?

We had a long day today, Pookie bear and I wander around to look for laptop and a DSLR camera but we are not able to find one. So we decided to go to E-Mart just by walking, its our first time to go without taking a taxi and so lucky that we are able to find the right direction. It took us 35 minutes just by walking, when we got there we didn’t find anything as well so decided to go home and Pookie bear bought two tiny box of pizza for me. We also walk home that’s why I am very tired tonight.
After few hours Pookie bear he feel like eating meat, so we went to Nonghyup Super Market to buy meat then he thought of getting an electric grill, the meat has seasoning already and ready to be grilled or barbecue. We had fun while cooking, after eating our bounty, we re-design the things here inside our apartment. Pookie bear also fixed our closet, so we don’t need the clothes rack anymore.

Here’s a tray of my treats few weeks ago, gimbap and some chocolates. You know some of the gimbaps are spicy so I really need some sweets after eating a spicy one, I can’t tell what’s the flavor not until I open it because I can’t read Hangul. I love to eat gimbap today but when we visit Family Mart, nothing has left maybe it is all sold out.
The flavor or other term varies to tuna, bugolgi, bugolgi hot and spicy, meat with kimchi, and many more.
