I've been doing a lousy job taking pictures lately. (Quinn, on the other hand, made up for it on Sunday. While I thought he was playing a game on my phone, he captured 261 pictures of the carpet.)
I really wish I had taken a shot of yesterday's lunch at Be Won, my favorite Korean place in town. For the first time ever, I strayed from my usual Bibimbop Dolsot, which is a mixture of beef, tofu and Asian vegetables served in a sizzling pot of rice and topped with a fried egg. Mmm, mmm. Yesterday, my friend and I tried a couple of the Korean seafood stews, one of which had these tiny beehive-like things that squirted some unknown substance when you bit into it. The rest of the pod was totally inedible, which makes you wonder if it was supposed to go in your mouth in the first place.
Next time we go, we've decided we're going to try the Budae Jjigae, which is a stew made with hot dogs, spam and Ramen noodles, with a few vegetables thrown in to clear the arteries. I just looked it up, and it apparently originated around American army camps following the Korean example during the Korean War. Whaddya know?
Now that I think about it, Budae Jjigae, with all its processed meat and greasy noodles, could be the perfect way to lure my kids to Be Won with me next time. It's about time I start introducing them to some more exotic fare anyway. I'll definitely have Quinn snap a picture or two, hopefully of the Budae Jjigae and not the floor.
