my grocery bag 3

Ive been making yogurt regularly since i got here, though ive never made it before i came here. Its really easy and way tastier. See the picture, its like icecream... thick, smooth and delicious. But its not sweet, i couldnt find unsweetened yogurt here, thats why i started making my own. I usually mix with fresh fruit or just top with a little maple syrup i got from Matt b. I eat it almost every day.

Last weekend after skating with the usual suspects the matts (Matt A and Matt B) and i went to check out Costco. We've heard lots of rumors that it was the only place to find lots of key american foods, and Matt A was willing to buy a membership. So we went. But it wasnt that great, sure they had cheese, but no sharp cheddar. The one thing i couldnt pass up was a 6 dollar pumpkin pie, it was huge! We dug into it right outside Costco, and this pig comes over and asks for some pie. He already had a piece of some pastry in one hand, and he gladly barehanded a piece of pumpkin pie in the other. I think it was his lucky day.

Quail's egg, expensive specialty item in the us; no frills common food here in Korea. We often have hardboiled quail egg in school lunch, marinated or mixed with bulgogi. i bought a pack of 20, for around $2. Small with a brittle shell and thick membrane theyre a pain to use. But fried sunnyside they sure are cute. Tasty, but i have to eat 7 or 8 to equal two chicken eggs.

Ive been spending most of my free time studying korean, and i dont feel like i have a whole lot to say, so i think i could do a few posts on the food i eat here that i didnt eat at home. This is black rice bread. They make it at emart, in conveniently small loaves. Its usually still warm when i buy it. Its a great dark color crumb, and it has a subtly nutty flavor. And its delicious.
