Reposted: Originally published 06/15/2012 (my puppy’s birthday!) Quote Friday: A round-up of the best quotes from my elementary school students in South Korea this week! First up, a non-school quote: Girl at party last weekend: ‘Where are you from?’ Me: ‘Ireland.’ Girl: ‘Oh, Ireland, Texas?’ Me: ‘No, Ireland the country.’ …Pause… Girl: ‘You must think…
I originally wrote about making pork burgers waaaay back when I lived in Korea. Ground pork was significantly cheaper than ground beef so we made do with the pork and adapted a lot of recipes to suit. This was also back before I discovered I was gluten and lactose intolerant so I refer to my…

I recently made a weird discovery… I discovered that my phone had been recording every phone call made on my phone from Feb 2015-Jan 2016. Every phone call. Now, while you may be thinking, ‘HOLY SHIT!! WTF?!!! SPIES!!! MALWARE!! OMG!’. I immediately thought, ‘Ohhhh…so that app did work.’ See here’s what happened, I downloaded an…
Our mother loved Christmas. She loved the tree, the decorations, the food, so much food! She loved the fairy on the top of the tree that never stayed on right but we still kept for as long as either me or Ross can remember. She loved the long process of making the pudding, crafting our…
