    • ]]>     Christmas Present

    I can’t believe that the holiday is over already. Back to blogging after having a couple of days of break is kind of weird and feels unnatural. I got rusty very quickly.

    I got an interesting present for Christmas from some Canadian friends, so I would like to show what I got. These are some pictures of the present. Including Brown seaweed, Dried kelp, Seasoned laver, Unseasoned laver etc.

    Don’t misunderstand that Koreans give these as a present for Christmas, but maybe they do for Chinese New years day or Chuseok. :D

    They participated in a 5 Km marathon and these are what they won as a participation prize, but they didn’t know what to do with these massive seaweed sets so they gave them to us. :)

    I found that seaweed is something that isn’t popular to westerners, even less popular than tofu, unless they are vegetarian or health cautious people. By the way, Korean laver is really popular in Japan. The reason? I don’t know.

    So from now on, if I seem to cook to too much seaweedy food, don’t blame me. :)
