Alrighty, so I'm gonna put off finishing up my English paper for just a few minutes cause I feel like writing a blog entry real quick. Oh, just in case you're wondering, my English assignment is to take one of the plays we've read in class this semester (it's a Shakespeare class) and describe, in 5-6 pages, how we would adapt it into a different genre. So I'm taking Othello and placing it into the context of Feudal Japan. It's supposed to be double spaced, but I think I'm going to see if I can get away with 2.5 space...Do you think the teacher will notice? Hmm.
The other thing I wanted to mention was the success of the meal I cooked earlier tonight, haha. I decided I wanted to try cooking something Korean, so I found a recipe online for something called "bulgogi" (lit. "fire meat"). you take soy sauce, sugar, white onions, green onions, pepper, sesame oil, and garlic, and mix them together in a bowl. then, you take thinly sliced strips of beef sirloin and put them into the bowl, and marinate it in the fridge for several hours. then, you put some sesame oil in a frying pan and fry it up. then, you take a piece of red leaf lettuce, put some meat in it, along with some "ssam jang" (which is soybean paste, red chili paste, garlic, green onions, red chilis for added spice, and a little sesame oil all mixed together) dabbed on top of it, then you fold the leaf together all nice and then stuff it in your mouth. And it's freaking DELICIOUS. My mom had some, and I could tell that she was surprised by how good it was. She kept coming back for seconds and thirds, lol. She told me she didn't think that putting meat like that together with lettuce would taste so good, but it did. I told her that I thought if it was regular lettuce, then it probably wouldn't have, since most lettuce is very watery, but the read leaf lettuce isn't watery like most lettuce is. Anyways, I just wanted to brag about how happy I am that it turned out to tasty. I've got a lot of leftover meat and lettuce, so I'm going to make some more ssam jang tomorrow and eat it for lunch. :D
OK, I'm gonna get back to my paper now. I have less than a page to go (going by 2.5 spacing, anyways, haha)! Wish me luck on it, maybe I'll actually get to sleep for an hour or two ^_^;
EDIT: Nope. No sleep :'(

That sounds really freaking good. Other than the spice at least. xD I'm a wimp about that. If I didn't fail completely at cooking, I might try to make it.
And I'm sorry you got no sleep. =[ I had almost 7 hours of sleep and am still tired. I think I would die if I had a night of no sleep. Lol.
It's spicy, but not debilitatingly so. even Pierce liked it, and he's a picky eater too.
Hmm that sounds like Korean barbecue where in a Korean restaurant you sit at a table with a grill in the table and they bring you things to grill and then you grill it on the table. I've never been to a Korean barbecue restaurant but I want to go some time.
sort of, but for korean barbecue i don't think the meat has to be marinated for several hours beforehand. i would love to go to a korean barbecue place too, though. man, i can't wait for summer, i get to try all sorts of new foods!!
