February 18th (Sunday), 2007 is the official Lunar New Year’s day, which 90% of the Korean population celebrates. The holiday starts from today 17th to 19th. It seems a pretty short holiday because it includes Saturday and Sunday, which most people on salary (us) have a day off anyway.
I don’t know how many of you celebrate New Year’s day on Lunar New Year’s day as well, I would like to share some recipes I have posted in the past that are suitable for Korean New Year’s day, so you can find them easily to celebrate this day in the Korean way. It sounds like good idea, doesn’t it? But there is one problem. Since my blog doesn’t have a very long history yet, I don’t have many recipes that suit New Year’s Day. 
Hopefully I will make an abundance of recipes this year, so I can properly redo this next year. Fingers crossed.
Here are the links, and Happy New Year!

HI… I’m Korean , studying in s’pore. Thank you for putting these recipes ^^ . It reminds me korea… thanks.
A couple of years ago I had a Korean Foreign Exchange student living at my house. For New Years Day we decided to make all the Traditional New Years Food- Black-eyed Peas, which is what we ate in Missouri, Pork and Sauerkraut, what they eat here in Central Pennsylvania, and Tok Guk, what EunJee told me was the traditional New Years food for Korea. I followed the recipe to the letter, I thought, but when I served it, she started to laugh, and IMMEDIATELY called her mother (despite the 13 hour time difference!) to tell her that my Tok Guk was brown. We had to take a picture and send it to her. I finally said “Hey, this is Tok Guk Willa Style!” which became the watchword for all the Korean dishes I made strangely.
I miss having a refrigerator full of Kimchee, but since Kimchee Willa never did turn out right, and our good Korean grocery went out of business we have been kimcheeless.
Happy New Year!
