Okay - a day late - we celebrated some of the Korean students returning home with a cake decorated with a rabbit - but it wasn't a "Year of the Rabbit" cake as much as it was a map of Korea shaped like a rabbit cake. Our manager did a great job making it - tasted great and so moist - a carrot cake but with pineapple as well. From Canadian Living. You can find the recipe here.

The students enjoyed it and I was called on to wish them Happy New Year Korean style:
새해 복 많이 받으세요
(seh heh bok mahn ee bahd euh sae yo)
- they applauded - it was funny. My Korean is sadly lacking. I found myself pulling out my language books later to look up words I couldn't remember. Like delicious and what to say when you serve food or accept food. I have great Korean language books. I could make that a project when all my other many projects are ticked off.
I felt like I was in a fishbowl though because of my temporary lenses, new lenses have come in twice with flaws so I'm still waiting to be able to see at all distances. I'll be so glad to get the correct ones. I hope so. Cross your fingers for me.
I topped the night off by breaking a tooth on popcorn. You know the crunch that doesn't feel like a popcorn kernel and you stop mid bite to feel around - well - I found a big hole where half of my tooth used to be. Happy Lunar New Years to me!
By the way, now that we've had the Lunar New Year does that mean my Christmas tree should come down now??
