Watermelon Salad




Let's stay cool this summer with 
Delicious Watermelon
After all, there is nothing like a slice of cold watermelon on a hot day!!!
Use watermelon with your dinner.
I made a simple salad with olive oil and vinegar.
The vinegar I used is Ah Love Oil and Vinegar- 
Green Apple White Vinegar.
It was produced in oak barrel for more than 12 years. The taste is ultra rich and fresh.


Two bottles of vinegar for my birthday are from 'Ah Love Oil and Vinegar'. Lisa gave me them, Thank you!
I am excited to try the White Peach and the Lemongrass Mint Vinegar.

Baguette Pizza

I decided to make baguette pizzas, which is a great way to use bread that is not fresh and makes even stale loaves taste freshly baked.
Now you can have all the fun of eating a simple pizza.


I used tomatoes, onions, toasted garlic, olive oil, chopped basil, and some cheeses in my refrigerator.
I can't wait to try this again, but I'm definitely going to expand on it. I will use other vegetables and cheeses...

Green Thumbs


Everyday I wake up, and go outside and look at my vegetable garden growing on the deck.
For the first time in my life I retired my'brown thumbs' and I can say " I grew this chili pepper."
I have Green Thumbs now.
Ta-Da--! These are my peppers.
Looks so fresh.

My husband and I ate them with Korean sauce, red paste and soybean paste.
Yummy.

Look at this,,
My chili peppers are Always Refreshing.
I celebrated my first picking of my small garden by pictures.
hahaha...

Kimbap - Korean Rice Roll

Gimbap(or Kimbap) is a Korean dish made from steamed rice and various vegetables and meat rolled in a seaweed paper.
The Gimbap's name can change by ingredients like a Vegetable Gimbap, Tuna Gimbap, Beef Gimbap and Ham Gimbap.



 Korean Watercress - Minari

Watercress

I like to use Korean watercress. So I made a Watercress gimbap with my friends. 
She demonstrated how to make it...  (One of my friends is good at cooking)
She looked like a professional chef!
Gimbap is often eaten during school field trips and picnics. 
So, it brings back old memories.
I wish I could go back to my childhood.
