I find korean food gets a tad boring at times. So I switch between western and korean reasonably frequently.

My quilty pleasures are kraft mac and cheese plus that really great 6 grain bread you can get at hannam supermarket deli with some honey... yum. Also I really love salmon, and fresh home made hamburgers every once and a while.

Pluse I do get mom and a few friends to send up choccie bickies (tim tams and toffee pops) every so often but I do share them!

I cook for myself every meal when I'm not at work. And every meal is some variety of tofu and veggies stir-fried over rice. I eat very cheaply this way, and I haven't dropped over from malnutrition yet. I do have to buy a good chocolate bar every so often.
All the chocolate made by the Lotte company sucks in my opinion.

Every so often, I go to the freezer and grab a few scoops of Tim hortons on replace for the Maxim gold.
I went to Cosco last month and got some Rubyred Grapefruit juice and some cheese.
I make my own tomato sauce from scratch so I do the chili and spaghetti thing on my own.

. That's ingenious, to make Italian sausage. I got a bottle of Prego Italian Sausage spaghetti sauce the other night and fumbled it then it smashed. That was the first Italian sausage taste in a long, long time so I gave a quick curse when it smashed. Over at Megamart, it's open 24 hrs, they have foreign cheese, and meats. Like cold cuts in vacuum sealed pouches. Believe it or not 200 grams of Italian sausage from Italy, a picture of the farm where choice Italian hogs live, costs 9,000 won. I'm so impressed you took the initiative to makes Italian sausage, and it sure makes sense. Why buy it? Just because it's not here, or too expensive, doesn't mean diddy; MAKE it. Did you grow up on a commune or kibbutz, impressive! Have to do an internet seach and get independent like that. Smile

Bagels and cream cheese! Smile

My snack foods are more like meals, but there you go Smile

This past weekend, I made a batch of New Orleans-style fried chicken.

For Chuseok, we had a cajun shrimp boil and a big pot of oyster stew.

That's comfort food.

I've been back for two months now, and strangely the tables have turned. Korean food now has some "comforting" qualities to me now. When I first landed in Vancouver all Korean food was like kryptonite... couldn't go near it. My first meal back home was Tim Hortons' coffee and doughnuts, and since then I can't get enough nachos, pizza, KD, salmon sandwiches, cheese and crackers, and chocolate.

But now I'm craving the old-school Korean food, like dubu kimchi and pindaettok. Oh and dalk kalbi too... damn that was good. Shabu shabu is nice, but it's not specifically Korean. And how can we forget kimchi. Not the old sour stuff, but the crispy fresh kind.

The grass is always greener. But I guess Canada would seem to have a slight edge because you can get Korean food in a big city, along with every other kind of food imaginable.

i go to costco to get veggie burgers, spinach and cheese ravioli, V8 juice, cheese and hash browns. i really miss being able to buy hummus and babba ganouj in the grocery store. i also miss firm tofu, the silly soft stuff pisses me off.
