Why is it always about food?

So I was thinking about the lunch I just had, and the thought occurred to me– why is it that I always blog about and take photos of food? Perhaps it’s one of the few variables in my relatively static life. Perhaps I really just enjoy eating that much. Maybe it’s the connection it often has to Korea and my mission. Maybe my life is just so dull that food is interesting to me.

Shawn and I made superhud last night, best batch I’ve made in ages, so good. I think I have it down to a science… perhaps some day I’ll post the recipe for the few of you that might be interested.

Then today for lunch I had another microwavable Korean rice dish from that new Korean market. It was 산채 비빔밥 (San-chae Bibimbap). This particular bibimbap had some type of roots in it, bean sprouts, carrots, and some other things, which you mix with the rice and some red pepper paste and sesame oil. It’s also good if you throw a fried egg on there but obviously at work I don’t have that luxury. I did, however, bring some 김 (kim) to eat with it (since there wasn’t any in this particular viariation of bibimbap), and while it was good without the kim, adding it made this meal hit the spot. Seems like there were around 400 calories in this dish and Marianne commented on the high number of carbs (like 74 grams or something i think) but it’s pretty low fat (as if I really cared about nutrtion). In any case, it was just right– not too much, not too little, and very satisfying.

Anyways, I’d recommend it– I picked it up in the frozen section of a Korean market on about 200 east (i think) and 3300 south in Salt Lake (it’s on the south side of the street). The Octopus fried rice can also be had at this particular Korean market… Just up the street at 700 East and 3300 South you can find E Jo, a pretty new Korean restaurant– the 갈비 (Kal-bi– Korean spare ribs I guess you’d call them) there was pretty good.

So there you have it– another post entirely about food. 😉
