Surprisingly, this post isn’t about Korean. I just really enjoyed Stephen Colbert’s The Word today and had to post it here. hehe…

I obtained the the video footage from the 2009 End of the Year Festival. Here’s the dance video cut. I’m the one with the dark hair. Enjoy. For closeups of these mind blowing moves, check out the photos in the earlier post.

If I can get a copy of the video I will post it up here. For now I just a have a few shots from my first dance performance….ever. I and the other male teachers from my elementary school performed two dances based on the two K-pop music hit videos (Abracadabra and Sorry Sorry Sorry), for the Christmas festival. It was fun. I would do it again but  I would practice some more. I know I made some transition errors, but I was nicely hidden in the back to cover them up…I think. I won the best dancer title anyhow. I accepted it but I still wonder what the criteria was. Most colorful necktie while dancing?

It’s coming, it’s coming!!!! Tomorrow…okay, in two days.

I thought I wanted one with a steam function so i could make some crispy baguettes, but paying an extra 200,000won  for a function that I wasn’t going to use that often wasn’t worth it. I had a feeling that I wasn’t really paying for the the steam function anyway. All the more expensive ovens with the steam function had floral designs. Correction: LG or Samsung models this is true, but I just saw an off brand with NO flowers! and I didn’t want or need flowers on my oven.  A nice black or white or any solid color was all I wanted. So here it is.

The christening shall take place this weekend with the one kind of food worthy of a first baking.

The Chicken

So good! I first tried this marinade recipe with beef strips…and it was…awesome. Then I thought, why not try it with chicken. Could it be AS awesome? The answer is no. But it’s still awesome.

This Korean BBQ recipe is a modified, combinbined version of one I found in book and another from internet, along with some substitution work. I’ll skip the modesty and say it’s good, damn good. While this recipe is meant for the grill, it can be sizzled up on the fry pan and it’s still damn good. You might even think your stove-top turned into a BBQ. “Really?”, you ask. “Really”, I say.

The Goods
1 pound of 1/8″ sliced steak
3 T chopped garlic
1 T fresh chopped ginger
1 skinned and crushed kiwi
3 T soy sauce
1 T sesame oil
2 T  rice wine
1 T hot pepper paste (can find this at an Asian store)
1 t salt

The Moves
Mix it all up and let it sit for an hour and a half.  Pan fry on high heat 3 minutes each side.
Freakin amazin…amazin enough to get a post and placed in the art category. Yes, it is an experience.

Ahh, yes, Deezer, the online music streaming site,  was lovely when it did what it was supposed to. The music library diminished this past month and now it’s not possible to play 90% songs in my playlists. Grooveshark is here though and as far as I can see and hear, its better than Deezer ever was. www.GrooveShark.com
