Chongbukong

Today we made it to church on time, although we entered behind the choir procession. The sermon was about how Jesus was tempted. There was fruit, sandwiches, and kimbap after church. Then we drove to gate 17 to walk to the kimchi market. But when we got there, it was closed. I hated to come back empty-handed. But just outside the subway exit there was a man selling chongbukong and daijan. I probably did not spell those words correctly. Both are made from fermented soybeans. Chris bought me the first ones, they look like large burgers made from soybeans. Then we went to the commissary. We got most of what we wanted, but they were out of coconuts. Then we went home. I tried the chongbukong, and it was ok, but I think it is not meant to be eaten by itself. Anyway, I fixed my usual breakfast, because I didn't have time before church. Then I whiled away the afternoon reading my e-mail and ordering goji berries. I am now down to 5 unread messages! This is a personal best. When I had had enough computer for one day, I took all the fresh vegetables we bought at the commissary and juiced them. Since they were shipped here from America, they don't last long. I poured the juice into popsicle molds and froze them. I drank the rest and washed the juicer and its parts. That is not something I would want to do everyday. I also hard-boiled some eggs, and THIS time they peeled nicely. I wish there was some way I could insure that they always peel nicely. Now I want to listen to my latest hypnosis download, so I am posting so it will be the last thing I do before I go to bed.
