birthday soup: 미역국.seaweed soup

    because my korean husband and his family are so korean, he follows the lunar calendar to mark the celebration date of his birth. this means his birthday changes every year. last year it was actually on the same day as mine and i thought it was so great at first. but no, sharing your birthday means not being able to be mrs. bossy pants.
    this year, today (oct. 8) my hubby doesn't get any wonderful birthday surprises or anything because i'm sick. but with the heart of gold that i have, i dragged my butt out of my nest of fluffy pillows, cozy blankets, and two hot packs (aka jimmy and kevin), and decided that the least i could do was to make him some birthday soup also known as mi-yuk gook 미역국.
