The first fruits of my labor!

I love to talk about "checking on the babies!"  It's what I call my little baby tomatoes in my rooftop garden!  Today, when I came back from the store, I asked Aaron if he'd checked on "the babies yet today?" He responded, "Yea, look on your kitchen counter!"

Ahhhhhhh....

And since you're all wondering ***, it was delicious! 



Having a garden is fantastic!  I'm dying for the day when I can go up there and pick basketfulls of fresh veggies!

Kimchi Jjigae!

Last night, I made my very first batch of Kimchi Jjigae-김치찌개, a traditional stew made of kimchi, tofu, onions, traditional Korean sauces, rice, cooking wine (or regular wine!), garlic, and dried peppers!  It's super spicy and super delicious and Aaron and I are addicted to it!  We went out to dinner twice this week just to eat some! 

Here are all the ingredients you'd need!

And here's what it looks like when it's all finished and ready to devour!

All I know is... when I move back to the US, one of the requirements for cities I land in will be whether or not the town has a Korean restaurant, or a supermarket with a Korean section! 

I just simply can't live without Korean food... period!
