Bulgogi

I haven't been doing much these days except waking up early in the morning to make 便當s (Bento/lunchboxes). JLo's 3rd year DDS schedule is pretty screwed up; on their last 3 weeks, the school decided to add 3 new classes for them. They have classes every day from 8am - 5pm, with only two 30-45 minute breaks in between. On top of that, they have to study for their Pharmacology final and 3 other finals for their new classes. Freaaaak.... so to make his life easier, i thought I'd take care of his lunches so he could have something to look forward to in the looong, tedious day of his. On my first day of 便當-making, i made Bulgogi with the marinade his mom sent him from Taiwan. Since JLo has a pretty big appetite, I made a 2 portion lunch with 1) chicken bulgogi and 2) beef bulgogi. I'm pretty sure he liked it cuz he asked me to make it again. So on Friday, i made him another 2 portion 便當 with 1) beef bulgogi, 2) chinese dumplings (will update on it later), and a salad :D. I actually quite enjoy waking up early to cook; not only does it fix my biological clock, but I also get first pick on fresh food at PP! Morning grocery shopping at PP is the best! Now I finally understand why moms are so willing to wake up early to shop and bargain at markets, hahaha. Well anyways, too bad I can only make lunches until next tuesday (pediatrics training is starting soon). So for now, JLo can continue being one lucky + happy man ;)
