Good times with the cousin...

I feel bad because it's been raining practically every day since he's been here. Got home early from work, expecting no one to be home. Yesterday was the best weather we've seen for a while... cold, but at least the sun was peeking through. So I figured my cousin was still out exploring the city.

Only, I find him in front of the tv. He decided to do a Korean drama marathon... O Pil Sung. He said he woke up after morning prayer and has been watching ever since. I leave him in the evening to go to small group... come home at 11pm and he's still watching. He said that was the last episode.

My mom was running late so she told me to figure out dinner. There was some bulgogee in the fridge, so she told me to make it and eat it with my cousin. But ever since my dad has his operation, we haven't been allowed to eat unhealthy food, ramen included. And my cousin brought some good ramen from Korea. So I was really looking forward to eating it, and I thought, perfect, mom isn't coming home for dinner, I can make that.

Here's me trying to multi-task... making my ramen, left the pan to heat up for too long. When I put the bulgogee in the pan, it instantly burned the side that touched the pan. It later turned out ok. But by then, my ramen was done, but I wasn't done cooking and setting up the table. So in that time, my ramen "ppul uh ssuh."

My cousin looked at my ramen and said, "what the heck is that?? there's no soup!!" AND, my dad made me make a phone call RIGHT THEN AND THERE... so it just got worse. I'm sure he's thinking, she is the worst ramen maker in the world. And after tasting it, he offered right away, "Next time you want to eat it, just ask me to make it for you." But he had a very I-feel-sorry-for-you-cuz-you-can't-even-make-ramen look in his eyes.

People that have eaten my food know I'm not THAT bad of a cook. I can make a mean den jang jji gae. It was just the multi-tasking part.... so next time we have a potluck, don't run away from my food. It's usually pretty decent.
