What I love most is not going shopping all day with my mom’s credit card, or watch BigBang perform their latest hit songs. It is to sit at a quiet pretty café with few of my closest friends and talk about absolutely nothing. Talk about school, work, future, teachers, friends, boys, people passing by us, parents, clothes, celebrities, music, food, nails, hair and so much more.

Here’s one in Busan- near the sea.

As a café loving lazy head, it brightens up my day to see all the pretty new cafes here in small Korea. Personally, in California the only café or coffee shop I ever saw or went to were StarBucks, or brunch restaurants. But here in Korea,, the café industry is developing and modernized. Although you, the reader might not be able to understand Korean, check out this website. The pictures are of a small toast café in Hongdae, Korea. There are son many places like this in Korea and makes me jump out of my chair in excitement of visiting these recommended shops. This is another café, at Dae Hak Roe, the “college street”.

The café industry, or the restaurant industry has extremely improved and have been modernized. Most cafes here in Korea are eye grabbing like these two places. In my opinion, the must-have aspects of a café are three main things. They are: the look, food, and manner.

Isn’t this what men look for in women? (:

RECIPE FOR YUMMY BROWNIES

Photo credit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bingramos/61193469/

Why do we desire sugar when we get stressed out and lighten up our two eyes with flaming red hot fires? Going more personally, any time I go through the “red days” I definitely cram for everything chocolate and sometimes greasy food. Why? I don’t know- it’s just natural human instinct- wanting to eat YUMMY food. Chocolate! Yum…. Hot fudge chocolate and caramel drizzle on top of vanilla ice cream with Oreo crackers on top of warm, chewy, soft, slightly uncooked, hard crust BROWNIE. How am I supposed to resist! I love BAKING. Here is the recipe for a warm chewy brownie.

• Mix: 1 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of all purpose flour, 1/3 cup of Cocoa powder (Hershey’s recommended), 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
• Mix: melted 1 stick of butter, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 2 eggs.
• Add liquid mixture into the flour mixture!
• Stir until flour mixture absorbs liquid well and becomes GOOEY.

If you cannot resist peanut butter like me, or the jar of peanut butter at your house is getting old, make
PEANUT BUTTER SWIRL BROWNIES.

• With a spoon, swirl in peanut butter mixture into the gooey brownie mixture.
• Mix: 1/3 cup of peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of softened butter, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of flour, and lastly one healthy egg.

Just to give it a little ‘touch’ add pecans, nuts, crush graham crackers and use it as a base.

Forget those calories….. What’s life about? It’s all about eating CHOCALATE.
