Fried Pork Chops
It was a beautiful day in Seocheon today – we’ve finally breached the 60s! A post-work run at the outdoor track left me hungry, but too tired to cook anything extravagant. A quick, 15-minute fried pork chops recipe was just what I needed. Ingredients: two pork chops garlic herb spice Season All a pinch of…

The Impromptu Cooking Date
It was a Tuesday night and the trusty old “what’s for dinner” question came up. The idea of eating another meal at the BX was unbearable, so we decided to be adventurous and looked up new recipes. We went grocery shopping for the week and voila: the impromptu cooking date! We got a few filet mignon…

Bieung Han Seafood Market
The first time we tasted king crab, we were instantly in love. (We seem to fall in love with food a lot.) The outrageous prices, though, inhibited us from enjoying the delicacy often. Until… we found the source! Bieung Seafood Market is located at the Gunsan Seawall, about 15-20 minutes from base. The market has…

Ashley’s Buffet in Gunsan
Clint and I were recently invited to Ashley’s American Grill & Salad Buffet in Gunsan. As we had tried Barbie’s Day the evening before, and were less than impressed, we weren’t sure we’d care for Ashley’s. But as it turns out, we love it! At about 19,000KRW/person for dinner, you have full access to the…

Vietnam is the Perfect Escape
It’s time to go back to school after winter break, and that means… free time to blog about my vacation! I spent two weeks in Vietnam, reuniting with my sister and experiencing everything the motherland has to offer. The food was wonderful and everything was crazy cheap! Nha Trang beach was beautiful and Saigon’s traffic…

Winter Camp: Music Makes the World Go Round
Now that the winter snow has hit Korea, schools are preparing for break. But of course, in Korea, a break is just another chance to learn more. Yes, everyone can see the irony but Korean parents. I was assigned two weeks of camp: one at Bunae and the other at Biin. I had to plan…

Happy 2013!
Happy New Year from Korea! For NYE, we were invited out into the city last minute. I put on my sequin dress and we headed out to our first Korean club. I had heard some things, but wasn’t sure what to expect. True to the rumors, mostly Korean techno music blasted throughout the club. Night…

Merry Christmas from Korea!
It was a low-key Christmas Day for us. The grounds were glistening white and beautiful, but it was freezing cold outside. We opened gifts on Christmas Eve. Everyone got some stocking favors, and I got a beautiful violin from Clint. We spent Christmas Day cooking lunch and feasted til the tryptophan kicked in and nap…

Squadron Christmas Party 2012
We kicked off the holiday season with Clint’s Squadron Christmas party. I have to give props to the Booster Club for their rigorous fundraising efforts and putting together such a festive event. The party was hosted at Kunsan’s Loring Club, so I don’t know how much was done by them, but everything looked really nice.…

Daejeon Science Adventure
A preliminary search for space observatories queued up Daejeon as an option, so we got on a bus and headed that way. We’ve been to Daejeon twice now. The first time was to get my Alien Registration Card. The second time was because I lost my Alien Registration Card. Both times were quick trips –…

Seoultastic
Our third trip to Seoul included the Lantern Festival, a visit to the Art Museum, the Namsan Tower, and the best lamb chops ever! Braai Republic Friends in Seocheon had been raving about a South African restaurant in Itaewon that serves lamb chops. This place apparently has a #1 rating on TripAdvisor for restaurants in…

Thanksgiving Away From Home
Leading up to Thanksgiving, I was getting pityingly homesick. My sister and I usually commandeer all Thanksgiving duties, and it was always quite the production. We’d have superfluous names like “Kim & Jane’s Audaciously Delicious Thanksgiving Dinner,” and we’d have designer-worthy menus prepared. Sometimes we stuck to traditional dishes: turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, cream corn,…
