Food mostly XD

OHHHH MY GOODNESS THIS WEATHER IS SOOOOOOO GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :DDDD "NICE WEATHER!!"- Eunhyuk, my lurrve lmao :3 Oooo, this weather is soo nice, I have to listen to happy music and dance around :D

Ok, so I made the curry that I bought a few days ago and it schmeckt gut(random German FTW!!) The only problem was that I think I cooked the potatoes too long and it left a lot of starchy residue on the rest of the curry, making the texture not really smoothe like I had the last time. I don't know for sure if it was just the curry brand, or if it really was the potatoes, but for now I'm going with the latter. The brand I used was Golden Curry. It wasn't nearly as good as the other brand I had... I can't remember the name, but it started with a "K"... Anyways, the flavor wasn't as strong, which is good for those who aren't used to the curry taste, like everyone in my family. Buuuut, they're all afraid to try it. They never wanna try anything new and different :[ Sehr lecker curry pics:

Just as it finished cooking, ready for me to eat!!



Mmm tasty!! :D
It looked better than the pics, trust me!!

I've been making yachaejeon(Korean vegetable pancake) a lot lately. Mostly it's because I already have the ingredients ready and I'm always trying to perfect my cooking of it. It almost always turns out wrong D: Since my pan is too small, I always stupidly add the whole batter instead of making two, so the middle always turns out to doughy and soft, when it's supposed to be crispy. Oh, and a couple of days ago, I had the most ultimate fail: I guess I must've put too much green onions in the batter, so I poured the whole thing in the pan and when I tried to flip it, it all came apart!! Every single time I tried to flip the stupid thing, it just kept falling apart. Ugh, it was so fail, but it still tasted lecker!! LOL Random German FTW!!! XDDD
Here are some pics of the yachaejeon I made:

This one turned out way too burnt and I forgot to add the salt, so I tried to add some on top. It didn't work. FAIL D: The best part is that it was very crispy, like how I think it should be.

OM NOM NOM NOM!!
It wasn't as cooked as I wanted it to be, mostly in the middle, but the edges were crispy und das schmeckt gut(I probably used the wrong form of das, but I don't care)!!

I'm pretty excited because I don't start school until next Wednesday. At first, I thought the 8th was on a Monday, then I realized that it was on Tuesday. Then today, I told my mom that school started on Tuesday and she was like, "Well, you don't have to starte until Wednesday, remember?? You only have classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday." YESS!!! I was soo happy, I can't believe I forgot that(well, actually I can XP) So, yay!! No school until Wednesday!! :DDD Ugh, I have to study hard on my German, I forgot so much it seems like D:

Gonna make some curry rice chyeah

Oh man, this stuff is addicting!! At first, I didn't like curry rice that much. The first time I had it was at my friend, Yudi's house. I thought it tasted weird and I couldn't finish eating it. Gradually, I started getting used to the taste and I soon began craving it. A few months ago, I went to Jungle Jim's(I love that store) and I actually bought a packet of curry rice mix...squares...thing... Anyways, I made it and it was uber lecker!! I just put in some carrots, beef, potatoes, and onions along with the sauce(duh...), nothing special. Some people actually put in stuff like yogurt, honey, and/or tomatoes... Is that even good?! It doesn't really sound like it to me, but I guess I could try it someday.

So anyways, I bought some more curry rice stuff yesterday and I'm planning on making it soon :D It's a different brand than what I had last time, so hopefully it'll taste the same(or maybe better :D)!!

King's Island and other things...

Weeee!! King's Island was muuyyy fun!! The first ride we went on was called Diamondback. OOOOMG It was soooo scary and so fun at the same time!! Well, it was really scary while I was on the ride but afterwards, I was like, "WOO!! Yeah!!That was awesome!! I'm ready to go back on there again!!" Diamondback is one of the fastest rollercoaster, it goes like, 80 someodd miles per hour!! The drops are like....WOWOMGI'MGONNADIE!!! big. After that, we went on almost all the other rides and they were super fun!! The lamest was called The Crypt. It was supposed to be Tomb Raider, but stupid Paramount sold King's Island to Cedar Point(another OH theme park). LAME. I would go on about it's lameness, buuut I won't ;] I started feeling sick and tired and my feet were killing me by the end of the day. All in all, it was a good time :D

I've been making Korean food a lot and I've been making this Korean "pancake" recipe I got from Maangchi(google it!!) It's sooo good!! The last time I made it turned out nasty because I forgot to add the salt. I took some pics of it, but I haven't uploaded them to my compy yet(laziness D:)

My mom bought me some Napa cabbage and now I really wanna try to make kimchi. I need all the other ingredients, of course, but I still really wanna try it :D The only problem is that my mom HATES that smell!! She hates the smell of kimchi, danmooji(or takuwan, or pickled radish. Usually used for kimbap, which is also delicious) or anything fishy or what she's just not used to smelling. I guess I must be weird because I actually like the smell of kimchi... O_o

Mmmm I'm hungry for Korean food!! Ahh, I could go on and on about how delicious it is :D A lot of people are obsessed with Japanese food and while it's pretty good, it's flavor is lacking. Korean food has very strong flavors, so you usually don't have to use stuff like soy sauce or salt to try and enhance the flavor. Like with kimbap(kind of the equivilent to sushi.), you could use soy sauce for taste, but it doesn't need it. It's good on it's own. With sushi, I like eating it with soy sauce, but on it's own, it's not that great... :\

Of course, any kind of Asian snack food(well, almost hahaha!!) is good to me!! I love all that stuff: pocky, Koala no Maachi cookies, Hello Kitty Yam-Yam snacks, CHOCOPIES, anything like that is delicious!! :DDD

Enough about food, I'm hungry now and I just ate D: Ok, I'll stop now XD
