Well Van Bruggen bloggers, it's about time for a post from this VERY BUSY English Professor (quit laughing Becky!!!). I've talked about posting a recipe for awhile, so now it's time to get to it! Here goes:

ZESTY EGGS AND VEGGIES IN A WRAP (Alright, so maybe the recipe title does need some refining!)

Ingredients:
-1 onion (spanish or yellow)
-1/2 to 1 sweet pepper (I like red, but green or others can be substituted)
-Mushrooms (any type, but the white button variety works well)
-3 eggs
-1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar and/or pepperjack works best)
-salt & pepper to taste
- 2 or 3 large, soft tortilla shells
-Sweet & hot sauce - mix sweet and hot pepper sauces together (hot pepper sauce may be substituted by tobasco, worshshire, or other hot sauce) and add mayo to taste.
-Enough cooking oil (virgin olive oil works best) to sautee the veggies and then the eggs.

1. Cut-up and/or dice the onion, sweet pepper and mushrooms - sautee in a hot frying pan until done (crispy/tender is tastiest). [You can also add bacon, ham or other pieces of meat, as per your preference and availability)- set aside
2. Separately mix the 3 eggs and scramble them up.
3. Add the sauteed veggie mixture to the srambled eggs
4. Add the shredded cheese and salt/pepper mix and stir until blended.
5. Add the sweet & hot sauce to the blend - stir until thoroughly mixed.
6. Fold 1/3 to 1/2 the mixture into either 2 or 3 large tortilla shells - wrap up tightly and cut in half.
7. Enjoy! Makes 2 - 3 servings (note: for 1 person, use 1/2 the amount of ingredients [approximately!].

Cherry Blossom Time Again

Well it is Cherry Blossom Time again in South Korea. Our campus looks beautiful right now with all the Cherry Trees and Magnolia Trees in bloom. There are other trees blooming but I don't know the names of them. Everything looks good.

This morning Dad and I played hooky from church and drove into Daegu. We had arranged to take our friends from Nepal to Youngnam University to see the Cherry Trees. It was a wonderful afternoon walking around the university with hundreds of other people. It was very festive on the campus: cotton candy sellers, various types of street food sellers, balloons sellers, trinket sellers, people having picnics, people flying kites. It was great. We took pictures and wandered around for a couple of hours then drove to Xin Chao, a Thai restaurant for some good food. It was great to reconnect with them.

After a hurried march through Costco, weaving our way through the crowd, we headed back home to watch The National and talk with our kids.

It was a good day.
