The Answer and story behind my question of the week...

My question of the week was: Which food DID I eat in Korea?

The answer is.....King crab brain.

It wasn't very tasty. In fact, I didn't know what it was until after I ate it. One of the families we were teaching took us out to dinner one evening. They said it was a surprise were we were going. We started walking through a fish market and I'm like, oh no!!! I didn't like fish very much. Well, we stopped at a King Crab stand, and Byung Gook (the guy we were teaching) told us to pick one. I couldn't even look at them...they were so big and nasty. We eventually picked one and then we took it to a near by Japanese restaurant were you bring your own food and they cooked it for us. While we were waiting, out come a huge plate full of Sushi. I had never tried it before, and I thought I was going to throw up. Then a few minutes later, out come the King Crab that we just bought who was alive 30 minutes earlier. Byung Gook tore off a huge leg and handed it to me and said, "eat up!" At the table there were some scissors and chop sticks. I had no idea how to eat it. I watched everyone else to find out how. They would use the scissors to cut up the outer shell of the leg and then use the chop sticks to dig out the meat. I hesitated, but finally gave it. It actually wasn't that bad. The meat tastes like buttery turkey! Not too bad at all. But then Byung Gook started cutting the head and the body up and eating it. He gave me some and said, "try some of this!" I tried it, and thought I was going to throw up! He then told me that it was the brain. I'm sure most of you have tasted the yoke of a hardboiled egg....well, the brain tasted like a very mushy, salty, egg yolk. It was gross!!!! It had the same texture. Sorry if I ruined everyones ability to eat hard boiled egg yolk. Sothis was the first meal that I had king crab and sushi at the same meal....I almost threw up by the end of the night.

eewwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not as bad cooked

So tonight we ate a Korean dinner! It was soo good. We made some kimchi pogumbap. (Kimchi mixed in rice.) We also has some mahndoo (like pot stickers). And some seaweed!!! yum!!!! We are going to eat Korean foom more often.

Fun day in the...RAIN!

Today was Cameron/Daddy day. We went to the zoo this morning. It was a lot of fun, except for the rain. We started out by going to the playground. Then we just walked around and saw all of the animals. He wanted to see the zebras but they were inside while the zoo workers were cleaning. We saw the baby "ooraff" (giraffe). Cameron was so cute. We wanted to go on the train but it was closed because of the weather. We'll go again some other time and ride the train. It was fun eventhough it rained.

Day three of Lord of the Rings

We finished watching the last Lord of the Rings on Monday night. It was awesome! The extended version is so awesome. There is so much more information that is important to understand the whole story. My dad told me that they are coming out with The Hobbit movie. I'm looking forward to seeing it!!! I think I'm going to get the books and read them. I'm about half way done with Harry Potter book 6. It is awesome. I'm going to try to finish it this week before school starts.

here's a funny video (remember to pause the playlist at the bottom)

The Answer to my Question of the Week...and day two of Lord of the Rings

First off, let's start with day two of LOTR. I went over to my dad's house again to watch the second Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. It was cool. I had watched the regular, theatrical version a couple months ago...and I had forgotten how good it was. It was even better because nothing was cut and we heard the whole story. You learn so much more about all of it by wathing the extened version. There is also some things that is mentioned in the first episode that they don't in that movie, but they show it later on. It's cool how it all tie in together. Anyway....we are going to finish it tonight.

My Question of the Week was: How many hours was mine and Becca's first date?
The correct answer is....9 hours...

It was a great day! We actually didn't even plan on having a date that day. We were supposed to hang out with Sis. Pink as well. She had to cancel at the last minute, which was fine by me, because we got to spend the whole day together. I went down to her house in Salem. We went to Wendy's and then we went to go see a movie. It was Wimbledon, which was great because we both love tennis. We found out that we had a lot in common. Then it was time for me to head back home :( ..... but then she invited me to a BYU football game, and of course I said yes!!! I was so excited that she invited me. I was already wearing BYU color clothes anyway, so it worked out great. It was the best date ever...and the longest! I love Becca!!!!

Day one of Lord of the Rings...

So tonight, my dad and I watched the Fellowship of the Ring, the extra long version. It was awesome. I love watching it with my dad because he explains what is happening so I can understand it. We are going to try to finish all 3 by Monday.
