It's OK with the Parks: Kimchi-ed

I had a job interview today. I got ready, looked professional and with my lucky interviewing bag set forth to gain employment. I thought it went really well until we were about to finish and I was asked, "Do you have a blog?" I answered yes and wanted to add, "Well sort of. It's a sorry excuse of a blog and we started it back in October when we decided to get married and have since in the past 7 months not touched it once which is really not representative of us as a couple because we are fun and adventurist, like good food and to travel and take pictures, and go to school and are busy and well, our blog is a sorry sight, or site." Literally. Indeed my possible future employer may read and enjoy my run on internal dialogue but whether or not I get the job it's high time something gets done around here.

In other news Eric started field camp today, or Geology 410, and I think he is the only TA. It should be interesting what stories he has to tell when he comes home. Being a TA has it's quirks. Last fall I remember him picking me up to go on a sushi date and while we waited for our California, Alaskan, Crispy Spicy Tuna and eel rolls, he pulls out some papers he had been grading for the intro geology class at BYU. For sure he knew the ways into my heart... having previously been an English major it was fun to look at the first efforts of freshman student writing in their first semester which were rife with run on sentences, poor grammar and non-existent sentence structure with the occasional plagiarisms from Wikipedia. Oh to be a TA. We had a good laugh and good sushi. This past weekend we went and took pictures. Eric is teaching my how to become a worthy photography assistant. Haha. It's been educational. I'll include some of our "work." We went over to Aden and Jaehee's for Bulgolgi, yum, and later, made Kimchi. Eric served his mission in Korea and it's good to have a jar or two on hand, especially when it costs half of what a jar at the grocery store would(6.99) to make.

Husband is getting home soon and because I am currently unemployed and doing BYU Independent Study at home while he is out at work this means I get to improve my domestic goddess skills. Time to make dinner. Growing up we would go home to visit Grandma Lil and Grandpa Jake in Dodgeville, WI, and there would be a huge box of pasties waiting for us from the local bakery. I'm attempting to capture the taste of childhood at grandma's house. It's proven a bit elusive. Off to adventures in the kitchen, over and out.
