Straw on your coffee

I went for a walked last night and we did it again today. We walked for almost an hour and on our way home, we saw a coffee shop. Nokcha Latte (Greentea Latte) for only $3 was written on the menu outside. When I ordered a cup of coffee, the waiter charged me 4.5 bucks. He said the price list outside was long time ago. Holy Cow! They should have changed it if they raised the price. Is it their way of getting some customers? I hope I wasn't the only one who complained about that price list.

Btw, don't be surprised when you take out caffe latte, cappuccino or any hot coffee that comes out with straw. Straw is used here with any hot coffee from famous coffee shops like Kenya, Holly's, etc...

Straw on your coffee? That's okay! People won't laugh at you, don't worry!

My adventures

You know how much I love adventure. I usually go camping on weekends with my hubby. We travel long hours to visit mountains and forests and sleep there for a night. We always have much load to carry when we go out. We were satisfied of our 3 years old car but because of our adventure we are planning to buy a bigger one. A Freelander where we can climb up the mountain easily and put all of our things for a camp.

There's also a program on tv that I love to watch. It's about the travel of people to some countries like Tibet, Mongol, and Africa. They climb up the mountain or go to the desert with a car. I like their adventures that's why I always dream of buying a Land Rover to use for my adventure. Who doesn't dream of having this roomy, nicely finished, well equipped and supremely capable off-road Freelander?

I always think of the famous adventure movies when I see a Freelander. It looks good and strong which is just the perfect car for adventure. I can't wait to use a Freelander for my adventures.

Jujubes (taechu) tree

Jujubes are one of the ingredients in some of my recipe like Yonggyebaeksuk (Spring Chicken Soup) and Twaejigalbichim (Pork Rib Stew). Jujubes (taechu) are similar to dates, usually use dried for cooking or medicinal purposes. They should be soaked before cooking.

I saw this jujube tree when we had megitang which is planted behind the restaurant.

I like jujubes and I eat them even when they are not dried. I used to put jujubes in our drinking water. I boiled some water and put some jujubes on it. My in laws recommended me to use them instead of green tea because they are good for our health but they are too expensive and we have much green tea at home so I switched back to green tea. But this winter, I'm planning to put jujubes again to avoid the cold and runny nose in cold weather.

Brochure printing

It was halloween yesterday and we had to cover all the windows. We didn't have enough paper to cover them so we used the pamphlet that they distribute for the people. My boss complained because he said they were expensive. In order for my boss to feel better, I will recommend this cheap brochure printing to him. My boss can save much using the conquest graphics because it is a brochure printing company where we can get much discount. I'm sure he won't complain anymore even when we use again the brochures next halloween.

Court reporters

When I hear the word court, the first thing that comes to my mind are the Richmond Court Reporters. The certified partner, Cook and Wiley that are famous for their Richmond Court Reporting Services. They have been servicing for over 20 years the reason why they are trusted by most people in Richmond and Central Virginia. So if you need help, don't forget to visit the Richmond Conference Room which is available for all clients. Leave everything to them and relax.

Traditional Cookie set

This cookies or snacks from Paris Baguette are delicious with green tea in fall and winter. When I had a visitor I offered them with green tea. They are in different flavor. Peanut, sesame seeds, etc..

Jeonbyeong are Paris Baguette traditional cookie set. They are crackers made from rice often eaten with green tea as a casual snack.




Keep me warm

It's fall and it's too cold specially at night. It's too expensive to use heater so we are trying not to use it in fall so we surfed on the net on how to save energy and money. We surfed on the net on how to keep our home warm without using the heater and we saw this Kalamazoo, MI Home Improvement. We need to get Kalamazoo, MI Energy Efficient Windows so that the air won't come in. Besides from saving energy and money I also like the style of the windows. I'm sure they will look perfect on my home! Thanks to Sir Home.
