I have a pretty interesting story, so I thought I'd share. I fell in love with Korean food this year. I've always had a love for languages and wanted to become fluent in another language, and I've always wanted to travel and do work for Christ, but I never had any specific direction. During the latter part of last year I was considering learning Chinese for no particular reason, but my uncle suggested I learn Korean, since it's much easier and because of family history (my grandfather fought and was injured in the Korean war). I looked into it and it makes perfect sense for me, so I've been learning Korean on my own for almost 6 months now.</p> <p>I love Korea. I love Korean culture, language, history, people, and of course, food. The first thing I tried was 김치 찌개, and I loved it right away. I'm very glad God is sending me to Korea someday, I can't wait to go. I don't know when it will be or how, but I have faith it will happen. I have a heart for those in the North as well as in the South. </p> <p>My Korean culinary adventures have been somewhat limited thus far, I've made 호떡 and 호박죽 using Maangchi's wonderful recipes and videos, and both turned out very well. I was able to get 고추가루 today for the first time, so I'm excited to try out some new recipes using it. ^;^</p> <p>Thank you for reading my story, and God bless you and your cooking! </p>
