Gochugaru Girl is a bit embarrassed to admit that she made a mistake with her latest cake.
In my desperation to prevent dehydration, I misread the recipe and drank the orange juice instead of putting it in the cake.
Rainy Days and Mondays
Gochugaru Girl woke up this morning to a very grey and very wet day in London.
The book I am currently reading is called ‘when the bottom drops out’*. It might be better called ‘when the roof caves in’ as there is a leak in our roof and water damage to the ceilings.
Fresh Soya Milk
Gochugaru Girl was advised this week to drink more.
It is a good thing the consultant didn’t say I should eat less.
A Bit of a Fishy Story
Gochugaru Girl had a slightly heated discussion with Junior One recently.
The subject was: is it worth going to a restaurant which only serves tinned food?
Japchae (잡채)
Gochugaru Girl has been consulting a treasured book on noodles.
This book* has been sitting on my shelf for 15 years, and re-reading it shows how much London, and I, have changed.
Cranberry and Orange Cake
Gochugaru Girl is not happy with the sudden change in weather.
Much as I like collecting umbrellas, I really prefer not to use them.
Escape from Camp 14: From Shanghai to Seoul
Gochugaru Girl recently spent a morning being troubled by one recurring question.
If it is difficult to enter China with a valid passport, how much more difficult would it be to enter if you did not have a passport?
Sausage Rolls à la Chinoise
Gochugaru Girl and family are saying goodbye to some loyal companions.
The children have asked for a photo of our beloved sofas before they go to the charity shop.
Flapjacks for Friends and Family
Gochugaru Girl has a headache.
I am trying to deal with the real pain in my head and also a different kind of headache.
Escape from Camp 14: Sins of the father
This is a continuation of the review posted earlier.
I have been thinking: if you do not understand why a sin is a sin, and why you are being punished for it, how then would you understand forgiveness?
