Wakame can be hint someone's birthday!

Did you know Korean peopole eat wakame soup on their birthday? I really don't care what day it is today...that's my bad habit. So I often forget my birthday! either do my sister. One day when I was in Korea, I didn't know that day was my birthday. But I realized soon because my grandmother cooked wakame soup for me in the morning!

In Korea, people eat wakame soup in their birthday, so it means the day when they eat wakame soup in the morning indicates that the day their birthday! I think this custom originated from Korean people in the old days ate wakame soup when woman gave birth to a baby.

So, still my mother cooks this for us on our birthday. That's like a traditional thing in Korea. So even though I cannot cook wakame soup by myself, I should be able to cook wakame soup at least, because I wanna prepare wakame soup for my mother on her birthday.

Also as you know, wakame is very healthy seaweed. So I recommend you to eat wakame soup if you are on diet! :) I do like wakame soup because that is the very food which is good and healthy.

My great dinner

Recently, I and my sister, Areum had a poor appetite. So we didn't eat so much during dinner. Then my mom asked us 'what's wrong with both of you??' We answered ' Nothing.'

Next day, my mom cooked these dish, and that went as we expected. Actually, I just wanted to eat meat or something special food!

Sorry mom...But we need a special meal once in a month. haha

So this is SAMGYOPSAL in Korean. SAMGYOPSAL is pork and we eat that with a lettuce. And my mom is good at cooking a Korean MISO soup. So there was also MISO soup too. My one of favorite dinner set!

When I was small in Korea, my grandmother cooked SAMGYOPSAL and MISO soup for me and my sister. So every time when I eat this, I miss my grandmother. That reminds my family in Korea.

Unfortunately, in Japan, there are few people who know about SAMGYOPSAL and eat. Why don't people know this fantastic food?? Someone should spread this food to Japanese people. The restaurant must work out! :) I'm sure I will cook it for my child in the future. So I have to learn how to cook from my mom!

Unbelievable!!

Do you know what this is? It is a dog dish! As you know, many people eat a dog dish In Korea, because it is said a dog dish is very nourishing! One day, when I came home and I felt so tired. I didn't wanna eat anything. Then my mom said to me 'You seem so tired.You should eat BOSHINTAN. (It is a dog dish's name.)'

As soon as I heard what my mom said, I said 'I will eat something. Suddenly, I'm full of energy mom :) Please don't say eat BOSHINTAN'

I hate Korean's traditional dish, BOSHINTAN. I asked my friend of mine who lives in Korea by Email, 'Have you eaten Boshintan? How's that? Does it taste good?' Then my friend said, 'First I hate Boshintan, but to tell the truth, that tastes so good. You should try it. After you eat that, you will feel better. ' I couldn't say anything.

Wow...oh my god... people eat a dog..How poor thing!

I LOVE dogs, so I will never eat it as ever.

Do you wanna try? Please don't say 'it tastes good and we can eat even dogs too. Think about it, We already ate the chicken, cow and pig.' Now, I feel guilty....
