What goes with a sandwich?
After several different discussions on several different occasions with Debbie, I want to get some outside opinion. Well, they weren't really discussion, more just comments made in passing whenever a sandwich was mentioned. lol. What goes with a sandwich? What do YOU eat with your sandwiches? Ham sandwich, turkey sandwich, grilled cheese, any kind of sandwich. What goes with a sandwich? Please put your thoughts and/or comments up here for Debbie and I to see. There can be other things as well. Obviously Matt and Rach will put fruit, etc cuz of Z&E. But what if it is just YOU eating. No kids, nobody else. I KNOW Matt would be devouring a bag of chips just like I would. hahahahahhahaa.
I say chips are the ideal mate to a sandwich.
sooooo: Sandwich and chips 1
Let the tallying begin.
The great poo-headed cartoon character.
Ahhhh, the wonder of Korean cartoons. I remember first seeing this little fella my first year here. He is a classic character that is for sure. My brother almost wrecked the car when I told him the story about this guy while coming home from the airport. Can you guess what that is on his head? A fancy asian type of hat??? Ice cream??? hmmmm.............well, if you don't know, then just read the title of this blog. If you need to, read it again to make sure that is correct. hehehehehee. The kids and parents BOTH like this cartoon. hahahaha. This is the GREAT DONG CHIMEE!!!! To translate that for you......poo injection, hence my fingers in that shape. Also, they LOVE to take their fingers and poke each other in the uhhhh, rear, ADULTS included. For some reason Dong is not spelled the normal way. It is spelled ddong, I would assume because Dong is a popular name here, so they don't want any confusion. Anytime a student here says the word ddong, refering to poo, he/she will 99.9% of the time spell it out for you "ddong" and then start laughing.
This is what we do
Well, some people might wonder what we do all day while teaching ESL. Well, now that we are back to teaching 6 classes a day, we have to do lots of different and fun things, to keep not only the kids entertained, but ourselves as well. These songs REALLY grow on ya. Check em out. Especially if you have some little ones of your own(4-8). So far I have only showed them and sang these songs with 1st and 2nd graders. Not sure they would be popular with 3rd grade and above. We do real teaching as well, but these really stuck out as stuff they enjoys. The Elephant Song was a HUGE SMASHING success!!!

We booked our tix to Guam, and the largest K-Mart in the world, last night. Stayed tuned in at the middle to end of May for pics and stories. :o)
Talk about shooting for the stars

Oh happy kitchen, Oh happy day
Ok, so we don't REALLY have a kitchen, but the area that serves as our kitchen just had a happy day. We got a slow cooker and a toaster oven from our school today. Finally! Now can anybody give me recommendations on using a rotisserie? It is inside our toaster oven. I think I might try some hunks of beef on it first. Not sure if that is the best idea, but guess I will see as I go along. MMM-mmm. I hope. :) 6.5 quart slow cooker as well. Quite large. Now which part is best to use in that to make a roast? I think it is rump roast, is that right mom? Unfortunately, not sure where that is on the cow, other than the butt area. Top, bottom? where?
Other big news, well to m anyways, is my exercising. I have lost 5% body fat since I first joined my gym here on Jan8. I have moved my belt 2 notches. Woo-Hoo!!! Now I only have 6% more to go before May, and beach time. My goal is set at 10% body fat, so have to really work hard and continue to watch what I eat. Anybody have any ideas on adding flavor to steamed veggies? Debbie is okay with them, but I am getting REALLY tired of eating drab, plain tasting veggies, but as stated above, I need to avoid buttering them up or cooking them in a pan with EVOO. Spring is here also. supposed to be up into the 60s next week. Another big Woo-Hoo!!
Hope everyone is doing good. Bye
England
Well, Debbie is on a "let's teach in England" kick. She has someone she went to school with that is teaching over there. Apparently they are in dire need of teachers for all subjects. I guess she knows someone else(or the other girl knows her) who is a teacher recruiter for schools in England, so she seems to think we will have an "inside" connection maybe. It might be a fun adventure, but we will definitely need to find out a LOT more about it. Things such as, salary, retirement, insurance, housing, air tickets to and from, and I am sure we will continue to come up with new questions. It would be a lot of fun to venture around the European countries and take in all the history. Hope everyone is doing great.
Random thought
Hey has anybody ever noticed that when people bite into a raw carrot, they close their eyes as they bite. This random observation has been brought to you by the letter "B".
Go ahead, test and "see." Even when it is pointed out to someone, the vast majority of the time, it still happens.
