| It's a perfect food for this kind of weather. Do you agree? Is there something better? Hot wings? |

Delicious. But did I mention, I get homemade samgyetang tonight?
It's more fattening and therefore has a higher "comfort" rating that your stew. Scientifically speaking, of course. |

Lol, sounds delicious. On a night when it is this cold and the ondol is this hot, I can appreciate the happiness of your dinner. My dinner will be kimchi with rice and ramen, plus, I will enjoy some hanwoo with hot sauce and toast. I will also drink tea and coffee. YUMMY.
Do you wonder why I am the #1 poster on Dave's ESL? I am happy and you can enjoy my feelings in my apartment this cold night. |

You can buy these teas at any large store.
Hanbang tea favorites
Maesil tea: Made with ``maesil,'' or Japanese apricots, this yea is especially good through July. Effective in detoxifying, maesil tea can relieve stomach aches.
Ginger tea: Working under the air conditioner can affect the overall immune system and make it easier to catch a cold, but a cup of ginger tea can prevent all that. Ginger is also good for blood circulation and detoxification.
Jujube tea: Sleepless nights are a burden, but try drinking jujube tea for a good night�s sleep. Jujubes help comfort the stomach and release stress.
Omija tea: ``Omija,�� or the schizandra berry, is named after its five different tastes: sweet, spicy, sour, salty and bitter. Thanks to its various tastes, it helps in bringing back your appetite and further recuperating from the heat. It�s also a great remedy for fatigue.
Galgeun tea: ``Galgeun�� is the root of the arrowroot, and when made into a tea form, it�s great for hangovers and putting you back on track for the day. It�s also effective for blood circulation, reducing fever and flu.

I shall enjoy a simple green tea much later tonight after dinner. They were making fresh hallabong (!!!) walnut cakes at the little store I shop at. I will enjoy 3 or maybe 4 cakes with my tea.
Then tomorrow I will be on a diet again.  |

I prefer pho or even shabu shabu. What sucks is that the best shabu place around me had to raise their prices because of overeating fat people. They used to have all you can eat for $8 and it was filled with big guys. When they stopped it, I asked why and the owner said that there would be guys that ate 8 plates of meat. Now they charge $18 for lunch and I don't see any fat people in their restaurant any more. |

Sounds like a bad business model. Why not just sell individual portions instead of jacking up the price for the non-fat people? I certainly wouldn't go for $18 AYCE shabu shabu, even in korea. |

I like Twenjjang jjigae, Tuna Kimchi jjigae, as well as SoonDooBoo jjigae.
Wash it down with some Maeshil (from the extract 원엑) and call it a night |

SoonDooBoo jjigae is pretty easy to make at home.
Buy one of those pre-packaged soup kits at eMart. After you make it one time with that, you can buy the ingredients separately and make it at home easily.
The trick I found is to use less water than you think. The tofu and vegetables release a lot of water into the soup. And add extra chili oil. |
