A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

-Proverbs 31:10-11,30

Monkey Bread... not quite fail.

~Sigh~
Sometime this cooking in Korea thing is not all that fun : ( 

Pretty much any time I want to make something new, it takes me at least 3 times before it's actually good. It's hard because it is difficult (not impossible, but difficult) to find at least 1 ingredient in every recipe I want to make. Because of this, I'm always substituting and changing things. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. My hubby is a real sport and eats all the crazy things I make.

For example, today I wanted to make monkey bread. YUM!
The only way I've ever seen it made is with canned bread. Like the kind you hit against the counter and it makes a loud POP!

Well, at least in my neck of the woods, I can't buy pre-made bread. So, I figured I could use a regular from-scratch roll recipe. My first try came out ok, but the bread was really dense for what I wanted. And the brown sugar was too strong. ~sigh~



Maybe a few more tries and I'll find one that I like : )


EDIT: Um, ok, so I just re-read this post and it sounded kind of whiny. That is NOT what I am trying to do! Sorry! I am so super thankful that I CAN find chips and salsa sometimes! That I DO have a toaster oven that I can bake things! That I can find meat and veggies in forms that I recognize! I'm just trying to share what it's like for me to live here. I'll make it a point not to be so negative : )
