Budae Jjigae - Spicy Sausage Stew

It's been a long time since I posted anything on cooking(well, actually on anything..) and especially Korean food.. I don't think I've ever posted anything Korean.. or have I?? hmmmm...

Anyways, since my mom wanted budeae jjigae for dinner that's what I made and decided to make a video.. though that was a fail, I edited and made it into a movie~ :) I do want to try making a video someday though.. but I am video shy.. :(

well, here's the video I've edited with the pictures I took and recorded my voice over it~! Hah! so there, pretty much the same.. oh, and I'm new at editing so don't yell at me :( I think I did a pretty good job.. though there's always room for more improvement! :)

You can also add tofu and other vegetables to your liking. I actually added 3 tablespoon of red pepper paste so that I can cook for later.. but it's your choice.. If you don't have any broth or stock readily made.. just use water it'll taste good enough :D

The next food I'll be posting is... 'drum roll please..' .......

"rice wrapped in fried tofu pouch" we call it 'yubu cho bab'(유부초밥) yubu is the fried tofu and bab, rice.

Any comments are welcome..good or bad :)

Scone? or STONE?!

Ok, don't kill me but it was my first time at trying this.. I mean my muffins turned out fine.. but the scones! DISASTER.. I guess I felt like cooking something or rather baking. I knew I had some flour lying around in the pantry so gave it a shot..besides, reading Julia Child's 'My Life in France' got me all mouth-watering for French food and food in general. and end result was DREADFUL!

You would think following the recipe would get you a real nice, delicious, hot scones straight out of the oven.. NOT! well, it was totally my fault since I did add more flour at the end thinking the dough was too watery.. I mean how was I to know? there wasn't any 'Chef Bugnard' to coach me through this.. I was on my own on this.. no one to tell me and advise me.

So the dough turned out to be very elastic, don't ask me how, but I do believe adding more flour would get you that result. and when I baked it it just got harder and harder.. you wouldn't believe how hard it got.. :(
Well, the picture looks pretty good AND the taste wasn't actually bad.. it's just the texture. I wanted that soft crunchy scone but instead I got a hard stone! I guess this taught me just to buy one rather than attempt in baking a bunch.. =P
