A ridiculous picture to make this all less boring.

Good luck with your studies.

Spanish Korean Table Menu

 THE MEAL

Spanish Korean Table 
May 25th, 2013
The Han River
Seoul, South Korea

Our first community meal went over famously, despite a few bumps in the road caused by Seoul traffic.  

We ate fresh Spanish Korean Tapas and drank amazing home-brew with fantastic company on the edge of the Han River until 12:30am.  It was a pleasure to cook for people that love food so much and aren't afraid of a little cultural mix-and-match.  We can't thank everyone enough for their conversation that made the evening complete.  

We especially can't thank Rowan Chadwick enough for his hand-brewed beers that completely pulled the meal together.  He even sent a few bottles home with us that we are looking forward to savoring this week.  

We are very much looking forward to gathering around the next Expat Table soon.

THE FEATURED RECIPES

Roasted Peppers in Olive Oil with Garlic
Melon, Tomato and Cucumber Salad
Shrimp & Squid Salad
Roasted Egg Plant
Simple Boiled Quail Eggs
