Banana Goat's Milk

I discovered something new yesterday: banana-flavored goat's milk. I'm not a milk drinker, owing to being lactose intolerant, but I had heard that goat's milk is supposed to be okay for people like me. So, being naturally curious, I bought the milk and tried it. It's actually pretty good. I found a way to make it better, though. I put it in my blender with some ice and a banana, and made a banana milkshake. Yum!

I created a tasty new dish for dinner last night. I made a marinade with some teriyaki sauce, lemon juice, honey, salt, pepper, and parsley. Then I marinated some pumpkin (not the orange kind, it's a green variety that they have here, which in no way resembles an American pumpkin), peas, and a yellow pepper in it. I cooked the mixture in a skillet on low with a bit of olive oil, and added some rice to it after about five minutes. Then, when it was all cooked, I rolled it up in lettuce leaves. It was delicious and healthy. Of course, there wound up being way more than I could eat, so I had the rest of it for lunch today. For a healthy dessert, I made myself some gwa-il bing soo. That also turned out well, despite the fact that I had no strawberries to put in it and had to make do with just bananas and kiwi.

Cate paid me a compliment today. She said that my Korean pronunciation is better than most foreigners. All this time, I've thought I was speaking poorly! Tomorrow, we're taking the kindergartners on a field trip to Millenium Park. Cate said there will be live shows to see, but of course, they'll be entirely in Korean. Luckily, I am getting to be an expert at non-verbal communication!
