Banana Bread

Banana Bread

Bananas are great, but once they turn mushy... not so much. You could force yourself to finish them... or, you could make banana bread! (You can, of course, make banana bread with fresh bananas, but it's actually considerably easier with old, mushy ones.)

School Food (스쿨푸드)

A rainy afternoon, a rainy evening... the kind of day you just feel too lazy to cook, and don't want to go out in the rain just to eat something. What to do? Oh right, we live in Seoul! Food is just a phone call away!
