In honor of Earth Day, show us something (literally or figuratively) green.

a photo from last year since i missed out on photographing my mom's garden earlier this year. she grows a variety of lettuce and other veggies but lettuce is one of my favorite because i'll wrap just about anything i can with it, as far as food goes. :)

[this is good]

Lettuce never looked so good.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSAM!!!!!!

Hahaha... so how is this pronounced? Is it like the "dd" in dduk boki? It's just "sam"?

funny, but when i was a kid, you couldn't pay me to eat lettuce...or any green vegetable. now, i can't get enough.

ssoooo good. pronunciation is a tough one to get across in english but it's not like the name Sam, but s-ah-m. and the more i say it, the more i crave some now!

Why is it that some letters are doubled in Korean? Does a double 's' change the way the 'a' is pronounced? I figured it was s-ah-m actually, since it doesn't seem that many asian languages actually use the 'a' from sam. Ha.

ohhh, you're asking the wrong girl. i had a convo with my mom about the double letters and i'm not sure i understand. she went on to talk about the korean alphabet and character pronunciation, and why it makes sense but i couldn't tell ya. i can carry on a basic level of conversational korean, and that's about it.

By the way, what happened to your month of no meat? I'm interested in doing it myself...but I'm lazy. And...I love steak.

i did eat fish and other seafood during that month but the last couple of days were rough. i was craving chicken and beef but i made it through the challenge and the first thing i ate after it ended was kimbap which had a little beef in it.

I think I'm going to "cheat" and do it sometime this summer. That way I can raid all the fresh fruits and vegetables at the Farmer's Markets and then maybe even forget that I love meat! We'll see how that goes....

oooh, good idea. now that the weather is warmer, i crave fruits and veggies. i should have waited to do the challenge like you. ;)
