With This Chicken, I Thee Wed

Okay, I am a bit behindy on my posts. There are a couple of reasons too! First, is Erin's Dodo Bird Flu I posted about on Oct. 31. I have not ever totally recovered, so my batteries are on a low charge. What I have been doing is going full speed on one day, then crashing the next. I made up my mind about two weeks ago that I probably need to go to the doctor. I think I will call and make an appointment this week. The other reason is the battalion is going to use the chaplain's website in order to get information out to the spouses. I have been doing alot of creating and updating on that site, so this one fell to the wayside.

The Friday we purchased the Hanbok (last post), we were on our way to see the show Nanta and made a little side trip through Gwang Jang Market before we headed to the theatre. After the performance, Miri headed back to Dongducheon with me for a Saturday of Korean cooking a Sunday of chapel-izing.

I do have some pictures I wanted to post. Things like this little treat for the eyes:

This is used during the Korean wedding, and is a cooked chicken (complete with head) and decorated with chestnuts and jejube fruit. There is even a jejube in the chicken's beak. Now before you go off heaving and moaning about the ickyness of it all, just think back to your last pig pickin' because a cooked head is a cooked head - no matter what the animal. Jejube fruit is just too small for a piggy, so we just stuff his mouth with an apple instead.

Here are some other pictures of what we have been up to.
