With the weather reaching a slightly breezy -13C in Korea.....or 8 F depending on what weather language you speak, it is perfect light sweater weather, though somedays I prefer to wear just a light T-shirt. This gives me a nice sunburn and it is fantastically quick too! In 10 minutes flat, I'm red all over! There is no need to spend hours flipping from back to front, back to front, at the beach like a steak on the grill. Just come to Korea, and in 10 minutes you'll be rosy red and starting your base tan before all of the competition even thinks about summer's golden tan! :) Well I'm off to go get my umbrella drink, there is much suntanning left to do. Don't be Jealous!
Dreams of Summer
Yesterday was the first snow of the year! So beautiful, so magical, so nostalgic and of course, soooo cold that your nose and hands might just decided that life is not worth living anymore and say, 'Adieu!'All this winter land whiteness has made me think of Summer and all of its delicious salads. One of my favorites this summer? Anything with Blueberries and Red Bell Peppers! Yummy! Just in case that you live in Heaven (ie you can find fresh blueberries even in December) Then have a go at this recipe. Delicious, delicious! :)Now I'm off to bundle up and find some hot chocolate!But first here is the recipe. Quantities are to your tastes and creativity :)Baby Spinach & ArugulaHalved Orange SectionsChopped AvocadoSliced Red Bell Peppersand a Healthy drizzling of Olive Oil, splash of Balsamic Vinegar, pinch of Salt and Delicious fresh-cracked Black Pepper :)
Winter ~ It is Upon Us.....
Mr. Webster, Spring and Amnesia
Korea welcomed spring with a four letter word..Snow.. Oh Wow, joy! Yippie Aye Yay! Here in Korea, I'm tingling with excitement. Why I'm just as excited as a kid taking a pop quiz while eating brussels sprouts and doing the dishes.. Snow! On March 22, 2010, The day after the first day of S-P-R-I-N-G?? Spring! Do you hear me, Mr. Korean Weather?!?! Spring! That word is supposed to invoke you to grow flowers, to produce too many rabbits, to soak poor children with rain, and welcome back stinging bees to the earth, but SNOW?? Really? Are we serious?Are you amnesic and have you forgot the definition of spring?... Well let me help you. According to Mr. Webster, Spring is "a time or season of growth or development in which one first builds a bonfire, burn all of their socks, boots and turtleneck sweaters; trades them in for flip-flops and pretty dresses and then eats 2 pounds of strawberries a day while jumping in rain puddles." This is Spring. Mr. Webster said so and he is always right, and he said no such thing about snow in spring.So get with the program!! but until you do shape up, I guess I'll just keep taking pictures of your favorite four letter word. sigh... ::Inge crawls into her snuggie and turns off the light:: zzzzzzzzzzzzz........
Adieu, Frosty, Adieu!
Clean off the flip-flops, break out the shorts..... it's practically summertime!
Well you will be sad to know that I'm back from three weeks of traipsing around Indonesia with Mandy in their chilly 80 degree winter weather :) There are many warm tropical pictures to share very, very soon, but first a few pictures of cold, snowy Korea that greeted me this past week... Somehow snow makes 15 degree weather perfectly fine with me.. :) but the times are changing and I can smell spring in the air...today it was in the 30s and 40s! I keep telling Mandy, with weather like this it's practically time to let loose and break out the blingy sunglasses and Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini. Yet for some reason she doesn't seem to believe me.?.? Oh well, I guess I'll just get a tan first. tsk, tsk. It's her loss.
