Mexican Night

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted on here. You can pretty much chalk it up to laziness and a somewhat busy schedule. Not to mention the drinking and partying that occurs on the weekend. But such is not the case for this blog post.

So my colleague and fellow instructor, Cryn, invited a bunch of us over for dinner at her apartment. She and her husband Kevin hosted a delightful (and slightly gluttonous) dinner of Mexican cuisine.



Kevin spent most of the day preparing the food, and it showed, but that meant we had to wait for him to finish cooking before we could eat. And sitting right next to the kitchen while he was cooking can be described as nothing short of torture. But he kept us appeased with chips, salsa and Kevin's homemade guacamole (that man is serious).



The best part of the evening, aside from dinner, was everyone taking turns playing songs off of Cryn's iTunes. Mixing everyone's music tastes and everyone rediscovering their affinity for the music of the 90's (fun fact: the Smashing Pumpkins are performing in Seoul on August 14th)

But it's always cool hanging out with the Ilsan branch. We're just a cool group of people (spouses included).



But anyways, let me get back to the food. Kevin really put in work. There was rice, beef, chicken, tortillas, hard shells, salsa, sour cream and guacamole. So we had a variety of what we chose to eat, mixing in quesadillas, tacos and burritos (I taught Abi how to roll one). And though I'm sure you'd love to see pictures of all the delicious food, I was too busy eating to pull out my camera.



And what's even better is that Cryn made margaritas, and she can be pretty generous with the tequila. We had a great meal, with good drinks and cool music. I think we all could've gone comatose at that point (and some of us did)



A big shout out to Cryn for inviting us all over and letting us eat all her food. Sidenote: Cryn maintains a blog concerning education advocacy and student loan debt (which I know all of you have) so you should all check out alleducationmatters.blogspot.com and maybe share your own personal stories on the topic. She also has a blog about her experiences in South Korea if you'd like to hear another persons take--> southofnk.blogspot.com

And a slightly bigger shout out to Kevin for making doing all that cooking and providing such a delicious meal. Also, for waiting until everyone was well taken care of before sitting down to eat, himself. What a saint.



I'll have another post soon so I can tell you guys about my day in Busan.

Peace
