Just a few random updates to share...
1. We're still eating Korean food. I love it! We've tried some new recipes and are adding more variety to our diet. I want to learn more about the role different foods play in the Korean diet. For example, the traditional French meal is arranged in such a way to add in digestion. I am curious what is the Korean equivalent of this arrangement. While watching a Korean soap opera, I learned that diners in a posh Italian restaurant could not properly enjoy the rich food without pickles. What other handy "rules" are there?
2. You may remember I have a New Year's resolution not to buy any new clothes this year. So far, at the end of March, I have been successful! Spring weather has made this more challenging, I am itching for light fabrics, bright colors, and delicate sandals. All things not readily found in my current wardrobe. But, I am working on some clever tricks. I have begun tearing out pictures of outfits and "looks" I like from magazines and placing them in a 3-ring binder in my closet. It is like Pinterest without the handy computer; my left-brained way to help me to be more creative with what I currently own. Great fun.
3. I am reading "The Good Earth".
4. We have decided to attempt a vegetable garden this year. I am eager to try and even more excited to teach my daughter about where food comes from. I have to admit, however, I am feeling less and less optimistic about our progress (or, rather, significant lack thereof). I have identified garden location and started to prepare the space. But, I've haven't planted anything and I've heard that once it hits 100 degrees, nothing will produce. I'll consider this successful if I at least grow some basil and a few tomatoes for just one caprese salad.
5. Tomorrow we start a sugar fast. No ice cream, cake, homemade cookies, donuts, etc., time to take better care of our bodies.
