~:[CH9 - Day 150]:~ Food for (the) Thought(less)

~:[CH9 - Day 150]:~ Food for (the) Thought(less)
With all that is going on, my mind was going crazy. I just couldn't process all that is going on and the craziness in this world today. I tried to get my mind off of it all as I photoshopped a fun picture for a friend and even had a stream with my class and a meeting with my captains. However, the greatest escape for the day was food. Cooking has allowed me to get me away from the madness of the world and allow me to find an escape from this all for just a bit. It takes a few hours out of my day and makes the day go that much quicker. A friend had sent me some money to get meat since I probably won't get to celebrate in Japan with her anytime soon and my cravings of Korean BBQ and banchan were out of control. I marinaded meat in the morning, but somehow I planned this meal in my mind and cooked up everything in 80 minutes (aside from the homemade kimchi someone gave me). Sure, many of the banchan dishes were simple, but I really didn't think I could be done so quickly. I ended up with so much, a few people came over to pick up some food. From cooking the food, to eating the food, to sharing the food, I was content (for now). As while my mind will rage again, it has been food that is my ultimate escape. What have been your favorite dishes you've made during this pandemic?
