…Return You to Your Regularly Scheduled Theme.
Though I was tempted to change to something with a Christmas flare to it. As I was walking in front of Lotte Department Store, they were putting up the holiday displays. Did I mention this was yesterday? Halloween? And here I thought leaving the US would get me away from the consumerism. I certainly picked the wrong country.
Wordle is pretty cool. You can put your blog URL in and it spit out pretty stuff like this. What I don’t like is that it’s all in a stupid java applet and you can just link to the image. I can’t get Java and Linux to place nice, or I’d just take a screen cap. But most of you can just click on the little picture to see it. It’s fun to play with.
Last night I tried to make some changes here and ended up breaking the whole thing but good. I swear I shall never tempt fate by trying to make things better.
I must say thanks to eposodic for a response that pushed me in the right direction.
And since my knowledge of PHP is limited to how to spell it… well, I’m not going to muck around much anymore. I wish I had a local geek friend who could do this kind of stuff for a 6 pack and a pizza. Sadly, I’m the person who people come to with geeky problems.
Interesting… seems something has gone all wonky on this blog. The posts publish and show, but if you try to click on a post, you get a 404 (not found) error. Well, boogers.

I’m currently reading through the forums seeing if I can find any helpful information. It seemed to start after setting up the WordPress app for my iPod Touch. I’ll back out of that change and see what happens. Until then, feel free to email me comments. I’ll post my email in the side bar…
So I’m sitting here in my hotel room in Ulsan. I finished at Little Campus yesterday. There were only a few tears. My stuff has arrived in my apartment in Daejon. The cats are being boarded at the vet’s office. I’ll move up to Daejon this weekend. I start teaching at my new school on Monday.
I plan on relaxing the best I can over the next few days. I’m looking forward to meeting the students and staff at Maple Square. I’m also looking forward to exploring Daejon. It sounds like a neat place.
Sorry this is so short. I’m on my laptop which is lacking a space bar.
How to describe it? Cheesey. Noodley. Fishy. Chewy. Spicy. Yup. That pretty much sums it up. My version of this is a somewhat modified version of this recipe I found on the net.
It’s a pretty easy dish to make. One pot and a plate to serve is all it takes. Start by gathering your ingredients (the brown sugar is missing from this picture because I forgot about it).
Here are some better views of everything…

Then add your noodles. Here in Korea we can buy raman noodles without any sort of seasoning packet. They’re about half the price of the other kind.
Cut your odang into bit size chunks.
And add it to the pot.
Stir and then add your dduk.
Let cook until the ramen is done. Stir every minute or so to keep it from sticking to the pot. The ramen cooks fast, this should only take a few minutes.
Then dump your cheese on top. This is completely optional, but ever so yummy.
Stir and dish out.
Believe me when I say it… This makes enough for 3-4 people/servings. It can be reheated. Don’t try to eat it cold. Cold dduk is like trying to eat a very gummy rock. The microwave works well to reheat. I’ve never tried to reheat on the stove. You could probably make a bit of just the sauce and then dump the leftover rabokki in to reheat.
