Making Pizza

These are the wives I hang out with (well 2 of the 3 anyways). From the left its Nicci (her husband is a Chaplain Assistant, next to her is her 17 yr old son Ethan- she also has a 15 year old daughter. Then me, then Crystal (her husband is a cook at the defac). She has a 5 year old daughter. Then there a Seargent from Prestons Unit. I cannot remember her name! Her and her husband are duel military. This picture was taken at an FRG Meeting we had. Nicci is the FRG Leader and me and Crystal are the Treasurers!
Our Pizzas when they were done! They tasted pretty good haha

Preston creating his pizza!! He didnt know I was going to take pictures haha


Haha, so about 2 or 3 months ago me and Preston bought a pizza kit to try and make our own pizzas. But when we got home he had to do duty so we didnt. We kept forgetting, or soemthing else would come up.. so they have been sitting in our cuboard. Well Tuesday we finally decided it was time to do it. Right when Preston got off work we came home and made our own pizzas! Hahaha we had a lot of fun doing it!! We have 1 more box left and have decided to make them this weekeng haha. Its a 4 day weekend for the Unit this weekend.. but Preston gets to work 3 of the 4 days! Haha Not much has happend the last little while. Preston has had a lot of duty so we've not been doing too much. Starting the end of this month I start babysitting again. I am still looking for a job.. its hard to find one here. The Koreans usually get hired first. I have a friend here who has been trying for over a year to get a job! Its a little frusterating! I have been cooking a lot lately, and I have gotten pretty good at a few different recipes and I am always looking for new recipes! We miss you all!

Dinner with the Koums

The Grape/Plum thing they brought for us to have!
Oh did we mention it was a HUGE box full of them?! Haha

Thats Preston, Mr and Mrs Koum and there 2 boys who are 7 & 8 in US Years and 8 & 9 in Korean years... when you are born here you are a 1 year old...


So about 2ish weeks ago Mr.Koum and his family took me and Preston to see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, and 2 weeks before that they took us to the new Transformers. So Preston and I thought we could invite them over for dinner at our house. They came over tonight and they LOVED the food. Preston cooked some steaks on the grill, and I made mashed patatoes and cooked bacon to mix in it, we also had a Ceasar Salad, Hawaiin Sweet Rolls, and i made Rice Crispie Treats for desert. Wow I have never seen a Korean eat so much! They especially loved the potatoes with bacon and the rice cripsie treats. They hadnt heard of them before. They also hadnt heard of Steak Sauce or gravy! It was funny.. when we sat down to eat Mrs Koum looks over and goes "Tiffany whats that bottle for?" I told her it was sauce for your steak.. right after that she points to the gravy and asks what it was so I told her. They loved them both.. It is different to think how things that are just so common for us are totally knew to them.. Its fun for us to share things with them and for them to share with us. They want us to come to their house next for dinner. After dinner their sons glued themselves to the play station and the x-box while Preston and I and the Koums took turns showing eachother pictures of vacations and what not! When they came over we didnt expect to recieve anything but they brought us some sort of fruit. It lookes like grapes, but tastes like a plum, just with a lot of seeds in it! We had a fun night with them!
