A little about food

Wow…boy how we take things for granted. I went to the commissary craving Cracklin’ Oat Bran cereal and I was looking forward to having a bowl for lunch. I looked and looked but did not find it. How disappointing is that? I know my kids still ask to go to certain places to eat, like Olive Garden, Chick-fil-a, and Chuck E. Cheese to name a few. They have gotten used to eating at the Pizza Hut in Korea and have tried more types of juices, candy, and ice cream then I can count. They enjoy going down to the local Family Mart and picking out something new to try. All in all, I must say our kids have adapted quite well to living in Korea and I give them both kudos. James and I are also trying new things we had Kimbap (the Korean California Roll) with tuna fish. I was kind of afraid to try that since all I could think about was “food poisoning”. James ate half the roll; I guess he needed to get his $1.25 worth of it before seeing my point. We are looking forward to the weather warming up so we can venture out and eat at different places. Keep checking back and I will write about all the different juices and goodies that we have tried along with a few pictures I managed to get at local eating establishments.

  1. Huh, I thought I had comment on here the other day. Guess not. Sounds like you guys are adapting to the food just fine. Ours are still touchy about certain food, but they are branching out. BTW, how far are you from a commissary? We're three hours and $50 in tolls each way. Count down, our next trip to Yokota is in a week and a half. What's your new address? I need to send you a onesie

  3. Went to commissary in Groton, CT today. No Tillamook cheese! Oh how I suffer. Also, To get through New York we had to cross the George Washington Bridge. It cost $8 at the toll. I'll be turning that receipt in for sure.
