fry,bake, grill, roast, mix, cut, chop, slice!

Please sir i want some more! Oh the wonderful tale of Oliver Twist by Dickens. Somehow food has been on my brain since the moment I woke up!


Menu for the day:

Breakfast: rooibos tea (especially found at home-plus, cornflakes and milk.

Coffee: Mocha sachet coffee

Lunch: spinach soup, rice, kimchi (fermented cabbage that cures all diseases including cancer), delightful bulgogi (beef barbecued strips), a mushroom and myeung veggie mix (cold noodles thing)

Dinner: kimbap (Korean like sushi) and veggie dumplings!

On the way home: Chocolate CANDY bar! (not anything like cadbury's but hey it sorts out my chocolate fix)

Before bed: rooibos tea

I also taught 4 lessons on cooking! The words -fry, cut, slice, bake, roast- were all my vocab words for the day! Trying to explain the word "sieve" and "score" were quite interesting :) I showed a cool video about food around the world and played a points game to get the kids to answer questions about the video! Also did a cool decoding exercise with symbols matching up to letters to spell out a menu! Was fun! I think after talking about food the entire day and playing my first badminton games this arvo after school-by the time dinner came around I was starved!

But I think my best food moment today was witnessing the bell go for lunch as I was making my way from the toilet back to my classroom. Every orifice in the building was suddenly sprawling with young korean lads dashing and I mean dashing to go and stand in the lunch queue. It made me chuckle so much! Literally, I could see the determination in the eyes of some students as they bolted around corners, down stairs and across the quad like thing! Was classic! For some reason the Oliver Twist _please sir I want some more came to mind-as the clinging of the metal dishes and chop sticks could be heard downstairs!

The wonderful daily routines of life-how blessed to be so fortunate to have food in my belly! Food, glorious food! La vie est bien!

Bisous
