LONG overdue

So upon request, I decided I would share a little of what I eat every day at school. Keep in mind the pictures are only of the foods I actually put on my plate and eat but there are other things I don't eat such as sardines, kimchi, soups, spicy rice cakes we refer to as “Spicy Marshmellows” and several more things I can't think of at the moment. Lunch is provided by the school and changes every day. There are about 20 dishes a month that are just repeated and until recently, there was no schedule of whats for lunch. So everyday was a game of “I hope it's something I'll eat”. Lunch always includes rice, kimchi, a vegetable of some sort (usually seaweed stuff or bean sprouts), a main dish, and a soup (usually tofu or something fishy). These are just a sampling of the meals, but I hope it gives you an idea. Here is my “Korean version” of “school lunches”.

"Tofu pizza" and string potatoes

Yellow Curry and bean sprouts

Quail eggs and beef, and seaweed
