Sweet and Spicy Oven Grilled Garlic Chicken

The title says it all! I made this the other day and thought that I should share this with everyone because it tasted so good! And of course I made it.

These are the ingredients for the sauce:

egg yolk, garlic, black pepper, mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and hoisin sauce

These ingredients mix very well to give you the taste of spicy, salty, sweet and savory.

First marinate the chicken meat with a little salt. Then oven grill the chicken meat (it can be breast, thigh, drumstick or wings) until it is half cooked on both side. Then you can paint the sauce on the meat and let that side absorb the sauce for 5 minutes. Then flip over on the other side and paint the sauce on and let it absorb for another 5 minutes. After it's absorbed the sauce, you can serve it! By the way, I used the Turbo Oven to do this which was way easier than an actual oven because I could see the meat (I've never used an actual oven before). The time was 30 minutes on medium heat (about less than 270) on each side. It turned out great!!

Hello Hello!!

Hi!! I haven't write a post for such a long time! The last post before this post was July I think. WOW! Well my laptop broke and so did my iPod. T^T So I'm using my greedy sister's computer. She only let me use it if its for homework. That greedy fat! Well Happy late Christmas and New Year. I really didn't do much but knit scarfs and hats. And I've been very busy and exhausted from college stuff.

Cherry Tomatoes Day#33

They're growing very big now. Soon, just some more week (probably less than 2 weeks) then I'll transfer then into bigger pots separately. It's so pretty!

By the way, I just remembered the Korean movie 'Tomato'. It's about a couple that raises a tomato plant they got from the store. One day the guy got made at the girl because she was seen with another man (perhaps jealous) an so he took off the tomatoes that was growing. The girl was terrified because the cherry tomato represented their blooming love. I forgot some parts cuz it was a very old Korean movie. But I think she took it to the previous owner (a farmer?) and told him that her husband took out the tomatoes and that the tomatoes will not grow anymore. So the man looked at the plant and still sees the stew where the tomatoes grow. He told her that if that stew hasn't been picked then there are still hopes that tomatoes will grow again. So she took it back home. And I forgot the rest. =_=

2011 Summer Vacation and...k-dramas!

So far my summer vacation has been the same as usual (boring). I haven't gone anywhere far much. I think the only far place I've gone to is Sacramento this summer. That's because it was my grandpa's funeral. Rest in peace grandpa T^T

This summer vacation, I've been watching a lot of new k-dramas that's currently airing and has aired from last year. For example, I watched Baby-faced Beauty (love this drama and still waiting for the next episode to be aired), The Greatest Love (watched all episodes and also loved it), Secret Garden (also finished watching and love love it!), Miss Ripley (currently watching and it's good), and many others that I don't remember their title. I would recommend these k-dramas if you're into comedy and romance. About other currently airing dramas, I haven't watch them because I just feel that they might not be what I would expect to watch (not my taste I guess). K-dramas I haven't watch and are currently airing or has aired this year are Lie To Me, City Hunter, Romance Town, Can You Hear My Heart, 49 Days, I Need Romance (might watch), My Love By My Side, Twinkle Twinkle(might watch because Kim Hyun Joo is in it), Manny (maybe next), and others that I maybe forgot.

Wow! That's a lot of k-dramas, right?!
My summer vacation will be spent on watching k-dramas TT; I feel that this is a waste of my summer vacation. I really want to go swim but no public swimming pool and can't travel far since my parents are so strict. This is what happens when you have very strict parents. I wonder what my life would be like 10 years ahead. =___=

Driving Test

Guess what?! I pass my driving test! I'm super happy!

Well unfortunately, I didn't pass the driving test on my first test and so I guess I learned my mistakes and finally pass on my 2nd test. I was worrying because my permit will expire very soon (within 3 weeks). Now I have no worries about getting transportation because I can drive to and from school now that I have a driving license. And YAY! for not having to wait for my parents to come pick me up. :D

Currently, I'm trying to find a job so that I can also pay for gas. booo! haha anyways have a great day!^^

Cherry Tomato Day#13

They're growing big and tall!^^

Cherry Tomato Day #1

Today I decided to plant cherry tomato inside my room. Hopefully it grows tomatoes soon.

Thief

I`m really disappointed in my family. Someone stole my money that I saved for my exam. I`m breaking down in tears right now. The money is due today and I haven`t pay yet. I really wish I never exist.

Chocolate bars

These days I've been buying chocolate candy bars. I think I'm addicted to chocolate. Well I eat chocolate once a day and some days I run out of change to buy one. So maybe not addicted but I LOVE CHOCOLATE!! lol I've been trying to buy every different chocolate bar once a day. Here's the chocolate bars I bought for the past day.

Kit Kat! I'm not a really huge fan if Kit Kat bars but I haven't eat this thing for so long that it tasted so good! Btw I was in a bad mood when I ate this so I think it kind of cheered me up. Lol!!


3 Musketeers are my all time favorite! Actually the other day I tried to get this but ended up buying the Kit Kat bar because I pressed the wrong button on the vending machine. So today I finally pressed to correct button. Musketeers ftw!! XD


These are so expensive at my college. It's $1 for one of these! I wish it was a better price like between $0.80-0.90 or below...

Cyworld Grapes (Podo)

Recently, I've been posting a lot on cyworld. Forgot to post on here. 미안해. I just found out a few days ago that there are cyworld podos which are grape points. These points can be obtained after you make diary posts. And it's free! I think 1 post=1 podo. Now I have 7 podos. And these podos can be used to buy podo items on the list. Only these podo items can be used for diary posts. I wish podo points can be used to by background skins. I really want to have a background on my cyworld but you have to buy dotoris with real money. I tried my debit card but they don't accept foreign card. So I guess I won't be having a cyworld background.

Spring Break

It`ll be spring break after tomorrow but there`s no plan on what I`m going to do over the 1 week break. I really want to go somewhere and have some fun but no one really wants to go with me. :( Actually I just want to get out of town and go to LA or San Francisco and the beach. I`m speechless and that`s what makes me sad. "Nevermind them I`m going alone!" I wish I can say and do that but then I feel that it is unsafe to go alone. I really wish these people around me aren`t so boring and at least go out there and see the world. If I have a lot of money I would have traveled around the world already. I think I`ll just waste this 1 week of spring break staying home doing nothing at most. That`s really pathetic! I`m really depressed right now, but I`ll get over it soon. Pray...

Volunteering is a Great Experience

Today, I went to volunteer at the San Joaquin River Center. We were in groups and our team helped pull out the weeds and take care of the new growing plants. Then we went to pick up trash near the river and guess what? I'm the one that picked up the most trash. My trash bag was full of golf balls, soda cans, glass bottles, and a lot of trash! It was so heavy! But, I feel proud of myself and everyone who volunteered their time to help save the world by just doing these things. It means a lot. I feel proud of myself because I did the right thing. :)

Here's a picture of me standing with the house behind me where everyone had a meet up. The place was really big and so it was beautiful. LOL I look really weird right? XD

Voice Recorder

These days, I haven't practice my Korean very much so I feel like I'm losing it. However, I thought of a way to do this everyday. How? I decided to use a voice recorder to record myself speaking in Korean each day saying a different phrase. I don't know if that is a good idea but wish me good luck! Btw I mean I needed to improve my Korean pronunciation. So tomorrow will be the official day I start doing this mission. hmmm... What should I call this mission? Any suggestion? My Daily Korean Diary? I think that sounds good but plain. :/

Naver Music Detector

Recently I got a Naver account and a free Naver App. I've been playing around with the app and I came across this thing that detects the Korean song you're listening to. I thought it was pretty cool. now I think it can only detect famous Korean songs, but I'm not totally sure. I tested it on Brown Eyed Girls' song Abracadabra and it worked. What's cool is that after it detects the song, it gives you the information about the song like the album, year released and the lyrics. How cool is that?! Here's my little experiment.

Turn on the song.


Click on the square with the musical note.


Detecting...


짱!! There it is!


Scroll down and you have the lyrics!


Isnt that awesome?!

Naver/Me2Day & Nate/Cyworld

Hello everyone! I'm so happy that I'm improving a little on my Korean studies (but not good to carry a conversation yet lol). Recently, I've been making tutorials on how to register for Korean microblogs and email. I remember back then how I used to always want a Korean cyworld. Now I just made one! I was surprised that I finally made one after all those years(just 2 years lol) and they didn't even ask for my information like ss#, passport, photo, etc. How people would say they want you to send in your documents, ppshhh!! Wrong! I did it successfully without those! It's my lucky day (but not so lucky because I have a 5 page essay due). And I also made a Naver account without having to verify or prove my documents. I'm so happy (but I'm stressing)! I made a Naver and me2day tutorial but I haven't make a Nate/cyworld tutorial yet. I'll post up the tutorial soon. I plan to do the Nat/cyworld tutorial this summer vacation so check back often. Come join me on cyworld if you have one! My cyworld is http://www.cyworld.com/maibliavue

See you there!



This is the cyworld app I downloaded and it's free!

Comeback!

Hello everyone!
I haven't made a post in so long. I've been busy lately and stressing a lot. And I also developed a back pain...it hurts so much. I told my mom the effects I have and she says I probably have stomach ulcer (my mom isn't even in the medical field lol). Now I'm concerned.

Anyways, I will try to post on here more often. Bye!^^

Irish Cuisine

So far I don't think I've tried Irish cuisines yet. I wonder what kind of food they have. Today, while eating, I saw recipes of Irish cuisines and in the pictures it looked so good! I wish I could make it but I don't have the right ingredients so mine might just turn out to taste like crap. Btw I'm saving these recipe! XD

Drama Class

Sometimes, I really hate drama class... It stinks in here!

Vegetarian

Today is the official day that I am becoming a vegetarian. Why? I thought I ate too much meat and it's not healthy for my digestion because lately I've been getting upset stomach, probably because over my overconsumption of meat. I thought it would be better for my health if I'm vegetarian. LOL so last night I ate half a chicken before it turns midnight. Now after that I haven't eaten any meat. I'm so proud of myself that I set a goal and I'm cooperating. Here's my last meat feast. Good bye precious meat.T-T

Turning on the signal when turning

Seriously, my dad needs to turn on his signal when he's gonna turn. I'm saying this because he never turn on the signal when he's driving. He only dies it when someone tells him to do it. I'm paranoid/annoyed when someone is planning to turn but never signal for the other drivers to know ahead of time. So please signal if you are turning...
