American M&M's

Hi :)
I know, two posts in one day. Crazy!!!

One of the things that fascinates me the most in the land of America is the variety -- selection like you've never imaged (if you live outside of America)!  I'm blown away at how many different types of the same thing are available.  I'm also equally blown away by the number of different brands that line the grocery store shelves and Targets (I don't know about Wal-mart cuz I don't go there often).  Of course, there are some essential Canadian items missing from American (or perhaps it's just North Carolinian) shelves, but that's okay, you can't have 'em all.  To do so would probably require us to merge both of our countries into one massive blob called Canamericada.  The flag would have 63 red maple leaves instead of stars, and somehow stripes would be incorporated in there.

Anyways, I digress...

At one of my more recent trips to Target with Ross (it's a tradition - we go every time he visits), I noticed how many different types of M&M's there are.  There are millions!!!  Zillions!  So many different types!  For instance, there's:

Pretzel M&M's! (These ones remind me of Ross because the orange M&M guy is getting an X-ray)


The classic Peanut M&Ms!

M&M's touchdown mix! (?? Guess I should've bought them to figure out what it was comprised of)

Peanut Butter M&M's!

Dark Chocolate M&M's!


Coconut M&M's!

Almond M&M's?!

Mint M&M's!

Raspberry M&M's!

M&M minis!

Phew! So many different types!  If I had more money, and maybe if they came in smaller packages, I'd try them all.  Oooorrrrr (light bulb), I could buy all of them and have you all over for an M&M's buffet party.  I'm a genius.

Thanks for reading!!!

Korean restaurants we've been to recently

Hi again!

This will be a relatively short post, mainly with pictures of Korean food.  Being in Toronto is pretty awesome - I think I've bragged about this before.  There are so many different cultures mingling together, which translates into really good food from many, many different countries!!  I'll admit, I have never been to Korea (yet)... I know... Sad.  Super sad.  But I am told by my Korean parents, aunts, uncles, and friends that the restaurants we go to in Toronto are pretty darn good.  Ergo, please come visit. :)  So, without further ado, here are some pictures of Korean food!  Yaaaaaaayyyyy!

Ban-chan (side dishes) - These ones were extra fancy.

Japanese Food at a Korean Restaurant

Hellooooooo!

It's been too long.  I've been away because I became obsessed with taking pictures of my dog and inspirational quotes and so this tumblr was born.  Please check it out and enjoy :)

This post goes out to Tonya W, as she requested a food blog update.  I just appreciate having a fan at our little site.

So I've been visiting home for a little while now and we've gone out to eat a lot.  Like, A LOT.

One particular evening a few days ago, my dad and I got some late night sushi at a restaurant in Korea town.  I forget the name of this place... but it is close to a Tim Horton's.

I got a small sushi dinner:


Sideways sushi picture!

And my dad got Hwae-dup bap, which is a rice dish with lettuce, sashimi pieces, spicy sauce (gojuchang) and other good stuff.  



Hwae-dup bap.


That's my dad.  Do we look alike?

And then we ate and were satisfied.  I highly recommend this Korean-Japanese place by the Tim Horton's in North York.  I hope you enjoy it too!

Love,
Yuna
