Weekly review: Week ending March 1, 2013

Posted: - Modified: | weekly

Lots of cooking this week! I spent the weekend making nine different banchan recipes, and it really paid off in terms of yummy beef bulgogi lunches with varied appetizers. Yay!

I did a lot of writing, too. I like doing that. And drawing. =) And I got to talk to lots of interesting people! Life is good.
