September School Menu

This is the September Menu that I will finally try to decipher a bit. I was so overwhelmed when I first saw this early this year. Their nutritionist sure knows his/her job. I, myself, can barely prepare a menu good for the week or two.

It will be too much for my Korean language powers to translate everything but let me try with the food today, Sept. 22.

1. bap - Mixed Rice (Rice is a staple but it can vary everyday with other grains that they mix it with. I doubt if I'll ever see a plain rice as it is.)
2. Joreng Dukguk - Stewed rice cake soup (rice always comes with a soup)
3. Banchans - Side dishes
a. miyuk julgi bokkeum - dried seaweed (bokkeum is usually with sesame oil, seeds, salt and garlic maybe)
b. modun (modern? not sure about this) tangsuyok- meat stir-fry something (I don't eat this so I have no idea exactly)
c. bechu kimchi - cabbage kimchi (omnipresent national Korean food, Kimchi)
4. jin hwa gyoeng pear

Basically, the meal will have rice, soup, 3 side dishes and a dessert (usually whatever fruit in season like strawberry early this year, watermelons in the summer and pear/apples/persimmon these days). They will probably have mandarin oranges come winter time.

Moving forward to Wednesday, which is going to be a rainy day from what I heard from the forecast, they will have chicken soup, korean rice cake gyeondan (yumm!), melon and kimchi. A little bit different fare from the usual I'd say.

I'm afraid I'll have to stop this now since I'm getting hungry with all these food. I must try to make my own menu now. :D This is a good inspiration for me to get to the kitchen and start dinner.

Book Report No. 1

Title: Septimus Heap, Book 1: Magyk by Angie Sage

Genre: Fantasy

This is a book review about Septimus Heap, Book 1: Magyk by Angie Sage.

It all starts in the castle with Silas Heap in the year 11971.

Silas was hurring back home to see his newborn son, Septimus Heap, who is the seventh son of the seventh son when he finds a little baby girl in the bushes. When he gets back home, he arrived to hear disastrous news that his son was dead!

Septimus Heap (a.k.a. Boy 412), though he is the main character, almost never spoke. He wears red beanie hat and a dragon ring. He is the long lost son of Silas and Sarah Heap that became a young army soldier through unfortunate mix up.

DomDaniel, one of many Darke Necromancers and one of the few who became Extraordinary Wizards,  is rising from the Badlands to become Extraordinary Wizard again. And with him are several Things you wouldn’t like to meet on a dark night.

In this thrilling tale, you will find out what happens to Septimus after he was carried away by the Matron Midwife and hear how he defeats DomDaniel.

I love the parts where Magyk is involved. Septimus is good at learning Magyk!!

The concept of being the seventh son of the seventh son is interesting. And I like his many brothers coz I want to have brothers too!!
