Caveat: April Miscellany

April Showers:

It was raining. I saw some early spring blossoms on this tree – I haven't seen much blooming yet around here, so this is like a "sign of spring."

April Towers:

I was walking along the Juyeop esplanade thing, homeward, and noticed a new tower had sprouted down at the south end of things, across the western end of Lake Park (behind the big flagpole in right upper quadrant of photo). I guess it's been a few months since I walked this route – I wonder what that new tower is?

April Porridge:

As has become a sort of Saturday evening tradition, lately, for me, I made some 죽 ([juk] = korean rice porridge). But I tried something new: I toasted some black sesame seeds first in a dollop of sesame oil, with some of the rice gluten powder that makes juk juky. It turned everything brownish and gave it a very toasty flavor.
