Ice Cream Hook: Korean Street Food

Posted June 17, 2013 by Daniel

It’s like a corn cookie that is filled with creamy, vanilla ice cream. These are a new popular treat on Insadong Street. The masterminds behind it are the guys who started the dragon beard candy (Gul-tare http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgdTq_wXn8c). It seems to be a big hit and you’ll se droves of people with the treats walking [...]

Cold Foods for Hot Days in Korea

Posted June 14, 2013 by Daniel

By Daniel Gray www.seouleats.com There are things that I miss about American Summer. I miss the jangling sound of “Pop Goes the Weasel” that drive little kids to beg, steal, or borrow change and then sprint towards roving truck dispensing frozen confectioneries. I miss huge cups at the 7-11 that I could fill with a [...]

Review: Napoleon Bakery

Posted May 26, 2013 by Daniel

Bakery Napoleon has a long history of making fine breads in Korea. Although many of the breads cater to the Korean palate (such as green tea, rice cake, cheese, bread) they have world class skills for desserts and their croissants. I have to say that their croissants are the closest you’ll get to a partisan [...]

Jolly Jocose Fellow or Mafia Hitman

Posted December 15, 2005 by Daniel

I question the motives of Santa Claus. Is he the pristine jocose fellow we all adore with cookie crumbs crumbling on his red velvet getup, chimney soot on his white elf stitched gloves, and lactate caked like cheese in his beard or is he something a little more sinister. Every year he carries around “children’s [...]

Truth or Dare Class

Posted December 12, 2005 by Daniel

I am teaching commands today and playing Truth or Dare. This has been one of my least successful classes because the stress of the class has caused two students to cry. Hmmmm. I’m thinking that I’m going to have to rework it. I think I should just do my shopping class and forget the [...]
