Kimchi Soup a traditional Korean dish Areum made!

I have got a new friend, she's from So. Korea and her name is Areum. We have a lot of fun, geeky interests in common, and so we get along great. In fact that's how we met!! At a fan-group meeting She used to live just a couple of blocks away from me here, but moved to Queens, to a cheaper area and we don't see each other very often any more. But now summer is here for real, we will have standing movie "dates" (aka. get togethers) in Bryant Park every Monday night...

They just released the list of movies they are showing (free on big outdoor screen in the park!!!) and we've got winners from beginning to end... well, nearly... they started off with Psycho, which is not a movie I personally enjoy, but all the others are fab!!!

Here's the list: 

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
The Wizard of Oz
On the Waterfront
Roman Holiday

The Maltese Falcon

Rebel without a Cause

The Adventures of Robin Hood
All about Eve

and finally the last movie of the season on Aug 20th is Raiders of the Lost Ark

There are also Lunch concerts in the same Park... with Broadway Actors and Stars appearing... and these are a few of the MANY reasons I love NY in the summer!!!!!

My little garden is growing, and if only the darn squirrels would leave it alone it would look even better...  Now I'm normally a fan of furry little balls of cuteness... but when they attach my plants at every chance they have, I get mighty peeved... so today I put out some ginger... according to the internet they don't like spicy stuff... so hopefully the ginger will help abate them!!!

I'm very satisfied with my little spot of green, the ONLY thing I feel missing is a little planter with roses, and one little pot of Lavender... For now though I'm excited for the seedlings to grow stronger and start to bloom. :)

This is where I go when I need some peace and quiet... I climb out my window, let the wind caress my face, the sun kiss my skin and the chatter of the birds envelope me in nature. My little eden...
