I Thought They Were Green Beans With Sesame Sauce...

Lunch, Wednesday, March 31.
I had skipped breakfast. I was hungry. On the menu, the proverbial kimche, something I'll call red pepper soup, a large portion of  a hot dish-like susbstance made with intestine skins stuffed with "something", white rice, a fish of some sort, and 3 "green beans". I immediately took my chopsticks, picked up one of those nice, fat green beans and stuck it in my mouth. As it turned out, not a good decision. That nice, fat, green bean was a very, very hot pepper. By the time I made that discovery, it was beyond too late. Barley tea did nothing to mediate the damage. Rice did even less. We were eating lunch with one of Doug's colleagues, so with  great self control, I remained seated, but my eyes told the story. A lesson learned.

A steady light rain that's been falling all day, will probably deter us from any evening explorations. Doug has been asked to present a paper  at some sort of conference in Seoul in May, so that will keep him busy. I'll probably be calling.
