밥

밥 (bap) means rice in Korean. Rice tends to remind me of home because there were few dinners where it was absent. As a child, I thought all rice was cooked in the microwave. During college, I learned how to make it on the stove.

I bought a rice maker off one of my co-workers who's headed back States-side. Since Korean rice is very sticky, I'd rather not have to spend hours cleaning out the pot every time I want a taste of home. Rice makers are really easy to use....so I thought.
