A few months ago Chad got  bike from another teacher who was leaving.  Last weekend we found another bike to complete the set!  It is a used bike and we got it for a bargain.  Please note the color and basket! [Read more →]

Last weekend we went to Soraksan National park with Dave and Eve!  We went up on Saturday and stayed the night in Sokcho then headed out to the park for some hiking on Sunday.  It was a bittersweet trip as it is our last adventure with Dave and Eve here in Korea :(  They are leaving this weekend for new and exciting travels.  Here’s a quick overview of our trip… we’ll be posting some more pictures from this weekend soon including some from a great bike ride we took while in Sokcho.  Our hostel had bikes that they let us borrow!  But for now, here are the hiking pictures.  For more pictures go to the Soraksan Photos page here.  For some videos go here.

The hostel owner recommended this restaurant and I have to say it was the best Bibimbap meal I’ve had in Korea.  [Read more →]

I know this is little late but I thought you’d enjoy seeing our Christmas cookies! We use my Grandma Mann’s recipe (cream cheese in the batter)!

Our little bitty oven! Luckily the cookie cutters in Korea are made by a company with a similar school of thought! All so small!

Okay, the snowman looks like it is carrying a bazooka

Piles and piles! We had SO many cookies. We gave away 7 bags of 8 cookies to neighbours (that was an interesting experience) and still had half the pile left!

Our traditional rolling pin! Two times makes a tradition!

Chad was a HUGE help! He is researching frosting recipes. . . hahaha.

I got bored while I was waiting for the cookies to bake. . .

The end. I hope you got some yummy Christmas cookies too!
