The Munchies

It's that time of the month for me, and I usually find myself hungry all the time.

I'd originally wanted to grab ice cream from the nearby newly opened Korean grocery (I knew I'd be in trouble once they opened), but on second thought...I made myself content with the banana and Larabar I brought to the office. It was my last Larabar; I didn't have time (or money) to buy more during my trip.

So, even if I did snack on something, at least I snacked on something natural and healthy.

But I did buy some kimchi at the Korean grocery the other day, and I packed myself a lunch of kimchi fried rice and fried egg (both with barely any oil) for today. I had inadvertently made a lot of kimchi fried rice, so I halved it and shared it with my co-workers.
