Cherry Blossom Festival

These pictures were taken during this year's Cherry Blossom Festival; the first week of April. Cherry Blossom reminds me of the movie Memoiers of the Geisha because there are ome scenes there with CB flowers. One of my friend here, makes a document of the stages of this charming flower from the erupting of the bulbs, when it blooms and until it fall off the ground. I find it a pretty neat idea.
Here's us enjoying the scenery....
Isn't it amazing how God made everything beautiful?
I'm so thankful that I am not blind, I can see everything around me
I am thankful that I am not deaf, I can hear the musical chirps of the birds
Thank you Lord that You made me experience all these!

Kielbasa + Sauerkraut

Do you eat kielbasa (pronounced as Kabasi)? I was craving for that smoked sausage that my father in law used to cook in his house. So when we went to the big commisary in Daegu today, we bought two packages of it along with a big jar of sauerkraut (firmented cabbage). When we arrived home, hubby cooked it. It's easy to prepare, you just basically slice the sausage and add the sauerkraut and bring it to a boil, add some black pepper and tadah, good meal na. Hubby added a little bit of Michelob light beer to take away the sourness of the cabbage.

100 days flower

One thing I loveabout Korea is their people's love and passion about flowers. Everwhere you go there's an array of neatly arranged flower beds and gardens. It's so refreshing on the eyes. Aside from the famous cherry blossoms, I also love this flower called 100 days. Lilac and pink are the colors of the flower when they bloom. Here's the beauty. Aren't they pretty? Wondering why its called 100 days? Our tour guide told me that it is called by that name because the blooming of the flowers takes 100 days from August-October.

Pig in a Blanket

Me and Rylie made pigs in a blanket for our merienda (snack) this afternoon. We had fun doing it! It's so quick and easy to prepare. We bought a pack of Pillsbury crescent roll and wrap up the smoked sausages, put it in the oven and bake it for 20 minutes and its done! uhhhmmm yummy!
Try to do it with your kids, its fun!
