Gochugaru Girl is looking forward to teatime this afternoon.
Junior Three has been away all week at camp. There is a treat waiting for him when he comes home.

Cherry and Almond Cake
Gochugaru Girl was paid the highest compliment by Junior Two this morning.
She said:
I am turning into my mother.
Instant In-house Ramen
Gochugaru Girl used to loath instant noodles.
The reason was because it brought back memories of incompetent cooking during her childhood.
Fried Rice Cakes (떡볶음)
Gochugaru Girl has tried her first recipe from the Bibigo Cookbook.
I have eaten this countless times at the restaurant and was keen to make it at home. There is something quite satisfying about the chewy texture of the rice sticks.
Healthy & Fresh Korean Kitchen – The Bibigo Cookbook
Gochugaru Girl loves Bibigo London. She loves it so much she even went to look for Bibigo in Seoul on her recent trip there. Now she has discovered their cookbook*.
It wasn’t exactly an auspicious start as I really did not want to try Korean food.
Date and Orange Cake
Gochugaru Girl likes bringing home different types of food from her travels.
I was intrigued by a bottle of date and orange jam when supermarket shopping recently.
Strawberry Ice Cream (Gelato Di Fragole)
Gochugaru Girl’s much used and much loved ice cream book* is 19 years old.
I hadn’t realised the now faded receipt was still within its pages. It informs me that the book was bought for £12.99 at Hatchards, 187 Piccadilly, on 24 July 1995.
It is probably possible to eat gelato 24/7 in the The Eternal City. However it is advisable to exercise some caution, so that what you purchase is not wasted, or indeed waisted.
