The Most Dangerous Holiday

May 11th is is the most dangerous holiday of the year. It is called National Eat Whatever You Want Day. For me I mix this day with some of the things that my body really needs but mostly I eat the foods I really want.

After a long walk we decided to stop at a restaurant and eat. Now that I think of it we haven't eaten at a restaurant in over a year before this. My kids did most of the ordering. We ordered sweet and sour pork (ttang su yuk). Then we ordered flat noodles with black soy bean sauce (jjajjangmyeon). Finally we ordered sizzling rice soup with seafood (nureunggi ttang).

Eat anything means to eat some things that are good for health. These fermented soy beans are something I eat every day. I highly recommend these Nattō (納豆) for everyone. It is a natural supply of probiotics and has been really good for my stomach.

These Nattō (納豆) are super sticky and have a fermented taste so my kids stay miles from the stuff but I love it. My kids would rather have something crunchy and sweet for desert. When we got home a friend left this for for as a thanksgiving present for Teacher's Day coming up. She made the pie herself and even decorated it with some fake tree leaf on top. This friend is super artistic and I really appreciate her and her family. She also makes a wonderful pecan pie.

The kids finished the pie a lot faster than I thought they would. It's strange I'm done and I'm full but for these little kids there is always room for ice cream. I guess no meal is complete without an ice cream to go. My youngest son eats more ice cream than anything else. His favorite is the Gouter Waffle ice cream. We haven't been able to visit there since the pandemic started but I will never forget how much he loved that waffle ice cream.

If I haven't gotten you ready for Eat Everything You Want Day yet then I don't know what will. Maybe you need some music to get you into the mood. Let's add a few songs to our playlist.
