Arirang television produced a second season of "My Little Kitchen."
Episode 1 Part 1 Ssamjang Kimchi Fried Rice.
Honestly I don't like Fabien's voice at all. I find it very grating and annoying. It is very hard for me to watch any show that features him. To me, this recipe is unappealing and I wonder what Arirang was thinking featuring this recipe. Who puts ssam-jang(쌈장) in their fried rice(볶음밥)???
Part 2 Steamed Bulgogi with Tofu.
Unfortunately more Fabien, hopefully someone else eventually narrates this program.
Episode 2 Part 1 Kimchi Jjigae (with Pork and Tomatoes).
Fabien, again. Tomatoes aren't native to Korea, so any Korean recipe you see with tomatoes in them has been altered to add them.
Part 2 Mushroom Steak Stir-Fried Rice.
I have to admit I have been fairly disappointed by this series so far. And that isn't just because of Fabien. The dishes have looked unappetizing so far.
Episode 3 Part 1 Stone bowl Rice with beef .
Cheese? Everything was okay, until they added the cheese. Luckily the cheese is easy to leave out. I'm really not liking this series.
Part 2 Rolled Omelet with Kimchi.
I was all YAY! A real Korean recipe, until they added the sugar, and then it was just yuck.
Episode 4 Part 1 Dakyukgaejang.
This actually managed to look okay.
Part 2 Gimbap.
Finally, a classic recipe, except when they put the sugar in the tuna, yuck. Hopefully the recipes will start getting better.
Currently watching: This awful series, unfortunately.

I haven't really written about living in Leeds, but I am collecting ideas. So, if you have any questions about moving from the US to Leeds for school, or the area in general, possibly for the military, leave me a comment. I may also be able to help if you have questions about moving to the UK in general, but I can't make any promises on that.

Korean101.com produces a youtube video every week called, "Weekly Korean words with Jae." I have reproduced the sentences they create here, because for myself I find that the subtitles go way too fast and having to stop the video every few seconds is irritating. I thought that other people may have the same problem and this might help them. I haven't corrected the English grammar of the subtitles, so you will see that some times it is a bit awkward when you read the English translation.

The King of Food was a series shown on the Korean television station KBS. It was also uploaded to the youtube channel KBS World TV.
The premise of the show from KBS, "What if a constitutional monarchy still exist in Korea in 2014? "'The King of Food' with picky taste, Shin Dong-yeob has invited star guests to his dinner. Guests need to answer a quiz to try rare food, which the kings used to eat. Food fighters are having a fierce battle to take the best food. Who will get the King's Food at the end?"
There is a special ingredient(s) each episode and the celebrity contestants are quizzed on their food knowledge. The team that wins gets to eat. As usual, don't watch the show if you are hungry, it'll just make it worse.

Guests are: Um Honggil, Park Sangmin, Hong Kyungmin, Lee Seungshin, and Gang Yebin.

Here is my current project, I saw this picture on pinterest and knew that I wanted to start making it right away. Jasmine has over 2 years until her 11th birthday, but we want to do a Harry Potter themed birthday using the first book.
Which started me looking for the pattern, which I did find here
I also found Scienceandart's modification ideas on Deviant Art, which you can see here
I didn't like that Hufflepuff's background color was blue, and that Ravenclaw's was a lighter blue, so I started making modifications to the chart in my head.
So, here are my supplies, except I forgot to get a background yellow for Hufflepuff.
Here is about 3 hours of work. I was thinking here that I was going to regret that upper left serif on the right side of the H. I wanted to change the H color, because I didn't want it to seem that Hogwarts would favor Gryffindor. So, I wanted to make it look a bit more like stone.
EDIT: May 24, 2019 Photobucket started charging for hosting pictures, I am looking for a new place to keep my pictures, hopefully this one will be back soon.
Here is almost 6 hours of work. Yeah, I am regretting that corner of the H, even more so now that the lighter grey is filled in.
EDIT: May 24, 2019 Photobucket started charging for hosting pictures, I am looking for a new place to keep my pictures, hopefully this one will be back soon.
And here is just over 10 hours. I went back and changed the color to black on that upper right side of the H, I think it looks much better now.

Korean people use two number systems, Sino-Korean numbers, taken from Chinese, and Native Korean numbers, which only go from 1-99. You need to know both number systems because they are both used, (i.e. time is told by using both systems, Native Korean numbers for the hour and Sino-Korean numbers for the minutes.)
