A Table of Peace :: You Are What You Eat 🥗 feat. Instructor Moon Sung-hee I used to just eat to fill my stomach, citing being busy or simply being too lazy! My mother used to say, "You are lazy when it comes to eating," and I truly lived up to my nickname of "bad housewife." However, this special class brought me a time that made me look at the eating time I had previously overlooked so thoughtlessly! During the discussion about food ingredients, the sentence "That flower came to me and became my body" lingered in my mind for a long time. The story that ingredients, grown absorbing sunlight, wind, water, and soil, are gifts given to me to ensure my health and happiness, made me rethink what I eat. Just as they say that the traces of time remain on one's face as one ages, my body, too, ultimately reveals exactly what kind of food I have been filling it with as time passes! Perhaps that is why I felt a little remorseful, wondering if my constant frail health was due to being too indifferent to what I ate 🥴 And the fascinating "Sensing" session! We had the opportunity to taste seed soy sauce (*sijongjang*), which has been simmered in the sun and wind for over 10 years, as well as caramel made from that soy sauce, feldspar (the salt crystals formed during fermentation), and even feldspar cookies. The seed soy sauce caramel was so sweet and chewy—so rich in flavor that it was hard to believe it was made from soy sauce—that I genuinely wanted to search for where to buy it😋 (I love the sweet and chewy combination!) The people I was with even detected the five flavors within it, but as someone with a childlike palate, it was a moment that made me realize, "Ah, even taste buds need training!" Just like the saying that healthy ingredients contain all five flavors, it was a day where I learned that slowly savoring good ingredients while eating is ultimately one of the ways to take care of myself💚 It was an honor to meet the Today's House staff and Ms. Moon Sung-hee, and thank you for giving me such a wonderful time 🫶 #TodaysHouse #스페셜크리에이터 #오늘의집크리에이터 #스페셜클래스 #피스풀테이블 #쿠킹클래스 #온고푸드 #채소초밥 #나도크리에이터 #불량주부다미 #damihome #주말일상
