Butterfinger Pancakes and Snow

Since we didn't get our American style breakfast last weekend we decided it was a must this weekend.  Because there was a crazy long wait when we tried to go mid-day last weekend, we decided we would be willing to sacrifice one of our weekend mornings of sleep to get up early for some good breakfast at Butterfinger Pancakes, and hopefully beat the rush.  So we set the alarm for Sunday morning at 7am and apparently it worked because there were plenty of empty tables when we got there shortly after 8:00.  I definitely enjoyed my Belgium waffle and Eric really enjoyed his corned beef and hash.  It was the first time I got myself a waffle in Korea and I sure enjoyed every bite.  Waffles are pretty easy to come by in Seoul.  They sell them at street carts and in many subway stations but I've never stopped to try one before.  I guess I've just always wanted to be able to sit down and eat it at a restaurant or at home rather than on the street or subway.  This place was definitely a good place to get one though, and they had countless other American breakfast items to choose from also!  We don't think it will be worth getting up that early on a Sunday morning very often, but we will for sure be going back at some point!  Feeling a bit overly full from our breakfast outing we came home and took a nap.  We also had a coworker friend come over Sunday afternoon for some Kraft macaroni and cheese and home baked brownies.  So I guess Sunday was basically a day full of American style food :)

We also got the first snow of February this weekend.  It started snowing early Sunday evening and must not have stopped until morning because we woke up to a good 5-6 inches of snow this morning.  As we were walking to work there were a lot of people outside sweeping and shoveling the snow off the roads (even the alley road that we live on).  This was the first time we had seen so many people out trying to clear the snow off to the side.  It warmed up to slightly above freezing pretty quick though making some of it turn very slushy very quickly.  We also saw an old Korean guy almost get buried in an avalanche of snow that slid off the roof of a building as we was sweeping the street!  Of course by the time we were walking home tonight it had all become ice so whatever was not cleared from the road that we walk on was a nice place to ice skate.

 

The menu was HUGE!

 

My yummy waffle!   The only thing it needed were more strawberries...

Lots of snow again!
