Julie & Julia

I'm currently (yes currently) watching Julie & Julia. I am simultaneously writing in my blog and watching a movie and I’m realizing….I miss blogging. It’s been a long time since I’ve actually written something of substance besides just posting pictures with a quick note. I apologize. I’ve just been so busy working away at finishing TEFL and since I enjoy blogging I’ve limited my time online until I finish this god damn course. Okay, that’s a lie. I’ve just told myself I couldn’t blog as much. So far my “discipline” has been working great. I’m 78% done with the course. And no I didn’t come up with that number all by myself. Luckily every time I finish a module I get an update of how far I’ve come/a reminder of how far I have left to go.

Besides the strong urge to blog I now have this deep desire to go to Paris or France. Basically, a place that is very French and where I can eat tons of delicious bread, drink a lot of wine and eat the greatest pasta and cheese ever. Mmmm cheese. Maybe in the near future?!

This movie also makes me miss cooking. I really miss cooking. If I could have one thing in Korea, it would be an oven and a working stovetop. I know a lot of people hate to cook, but I actually enjoy it. It’s my beer at the end of a hard working day or my daily run runners must have. I don’t necessarily like to cook every day, but from time to time it's my stress reliever. It would be nice to be able to play music and just cook away.

If I could cook anything right now I would cook steak medallions topped with blue cheese, sautéed asparagus in butter (of course) with a pinch of salt and garlic red mashed potatoes.

Can someone please make this and send it to Korea? Or better yet, send me an oven.

Happy Birthday Jalyssa!
