Homemade Samgyeopsal Dinner on Saturday night

It's weekend and you know what this means it is another day to spend with your loved ones. I woke up late today because there is no online class at the same time I slept very late the other night. After eating breakfast, I went out to buy rice and vegetables for the pork sinigang I am about to cook at lunch. After eating our lunch I prepared my laundry because it has been days since the last time I washed the dirty clothes. I have to lessen them because we might run out of clean clothes to wear. I also folded some clothes and tranferred them to our newly purchased cabinet. I was in hurry to finish up chores because we're going to the cemetery in the afternoon to visit my late mother in law like we always used to do every weekends.

A few minutes more later, we were on the way to San Mateo the location of the cemetery. The memorial park closes at 6 pm and we arrived just 5 minutes before the clock turns 6. My in laws came a little earlier than us so we spent the next few minutes eating our very late afternoon snacks. Again we took family photo for fb purposes only. It was already dark and the roving guard advised us that it is time to get home.

Personally I am so excited to get back home because our supposed to be family dinner on Friday was rescheduled the next day. I am so excited well my tummy to be specific because my sister in law prepared homemade samgyupsal for dinner. Our family loves to eat but since the pandemic started we aren't allowed to go out most specially eating at a samgyupsal restaurant.

I know everyone of you are familiarize with this kind of cuisine most specially those korean drama fan out there. But let me include here what is the meaning of samgyupsal according to this source.

Samgyeopsal (삼겹살; ) is a popular Korean dish that is commonly served as an evening meal. It consists of thick, fatty slices of pork belly meat. The meat, usually neither marinated nor seasoned, is cooked on a grill at the diners’ table. Usually diners grill the meat themselves and eat directly from a grill. It is typically served with ssamjang , vegetables, and lettuce leaves to wrap it in.

I am actually a fan of this food because I am a self proclaimed korean drama addict. I always wanted to have a taste of their food like everytime I watch single episodes of their drama that is why I am so glad when they introduced samgyeopsal restaurant in our country a few years back. Are you a samgyeopsal lover too? Please let me know in the comment box below.

Moving forward, we got home at around 8 in the evening at my sister in law village. We stayed with my brother in law house first to give respect to my father in law. And then a few minutes more they notified us that we are about to begin. They usually set it up on their garage area and before we could began grilling the pork we took some pictures of it. Again it is for fb purposes only.😁 When it was done my sister in law and I started grilling meat, so that everyone can eat.

I am happily grilling the meat while others were starting to eat their dinner. By the way my brother in law cooked buffalo chicken in addition to our food that night it was also good and it wasn't spicy so that kids can enjoy it too.

I let others do the grilling because it was time for me to eat too. I took the lettuce, put some meat in it added kimchi and the other sauces, wrap it up and eat in one bite like what I usually saw in a korean dramas. We missed soju though, but it's ok because we bought something to replace it. An hour later when everyone was done eating, a little raindrops started to fall, so we move the table in order for us to not get wet.

The girls and I had a very light alcoholic drinks while the boys had their usual drink for that night. We shared stories like we usually do. It was another happy night that we never noticed it was 2 in the morning already. The rain started to pour again and we were waiting for it to stop before we could go home. It seems like the rain won't stop so I told the kids inside that we needed to go home for our furbabies are waiting too.

It was a smooth ride going back home because the road is clear. We got home before the clock strike at 3. I was a little tipsy and sleepy so I just checked my account here. I was supposed to write this article but I was so sleepy that my hands cannot even type a single word. Nevertheless I really did enjoy our night.

That would be for my today's article. Thanks everyone for always dropping by at my post. You are all appreaciated.
