You use a lot of vegetables and herbs..are you sure? Everything you mentioned is meat-based.
I think you might need to change your diet and adapt to Korean food.
Have you been offered a job? When are you coming and where are you going to live?
I can give you some Korean recipes.

I certainly do eat a ton of meat. But I spice it up with herbs and veggies... actually, the only veggies I eat really are peppers, onions and, strangely, spinach.

I got my job offer. I'll be living in Daegu.

Well, eat all the Italian sausage you can before you come here because you aren't going to find ANYTHING that's even close!

I don't buy green peppers often but I think they're a bit pricey. Fresh spinach can be really cheap or really expensive, depending on the season.

Sounds like you need to bring things like oregano, basil, Italian seasonings...what ever you use the most of, it's good to bring the "deluxe" size!

Something tells me that you're either going to starve, learn to make do with what you can find here, or develop a taste for Korean food!

I love pesto. One of my favorite things to make is chicken pesto pasta because it's so yummy/quick/easy.

You need:
pesto
chicken breast
pasta
olive oil or another cooking oil

I get one of those huge things of pesto from Costco and then freeze it in smaller containers so I can use it gradually and it stays fresh. Boil some pasta (my favorite is bow-tie). White chicken breast (also from Costco....the bag of frozen ones are great) in a pan with olive oil and Italian seasoning. Cut up the chicken and when the pasta is finished, drain and mix everything. Yum.

I make a big pot of it and then tupperware the rest. If you want to get fancy you can add mushrooms and/or finely crushed peanuts!

I'm looking to do some baking... lasagna, pizza, etc! So I am hoping that it is big enough, but I'm not really certain. The price is decent, if it works well enough it'd certainly be worth the cost.

For sure it's big enough for what you're wanting to make. I bought a 9L toaster oven and I'm able to make small pizzas and cakes with it. The one you're looking at is 45L.

Does anyone know where one could get a pizza stone? I recently bought a pan, and it just isn't the same without a stone. I like a nice NYC-style crust--crispy and thin--and a pan makes it too fluffy and soft.

Good lord, the meat and produce price inflation is nuts. One Bell Pepper was going for 3,000 won. For two small steaks i paid 33,000 won. There was no pre-mixed salad...i could buy it from the deli but for a small salad they wanted nearly 10,000 won for it.

Thanks, Poukum. I may splurge for the stone, but shall try your olive oil approach first. My boyfriend likes it as is, but he's never had a NY pie...

^^ no problem. let me know if the olive oil worked out for you.
