I'm still enjoying things here in Korea, and don't worry - I promise I'll be posting an update before the end of the week with some pictures from the weekend.
But I've been dreaming about all the things that I'll be able to bake when I come back to the good ol' US of A.
Last night was my first attempt at a roast on the stovetop. I am not sure if it was due to the cut of the beef, or if I didn't cook it long enough, but it definitely wasn't as tender as I'd prefer. It had excellent flavor though, it cooked in a mix of tomatoes, onions, red wine and some beef flavoring in place of a proper stock. I added some carrots and potatoes for the last 45 minutes or so. Mmmm. I could barely keep away from the roasted vegetables while it was cooling enough to go into the fridge!
I've been perusing this website A Year of Slow Cooking today and I must admit that the idea of using my crock pot every day sounds lovely! I'm always pleasantly surprised at how delicious things smell and how well they usually turn out. Hopefully my friend Jaime is taking good care of my crock pot and that my mom won't mind letting me take advantage of hers often before I find a new apartment!
It doesn't seem like it's so far away, but yet it might take forever to happen! Just try to remind myself to treasure each day, because you can never get it back!
