Trip for staples -- Copper Day, 24th of Snowy, Year 225

I went to H-Mart, one of the local Korean groceries today, and picked up dried anchovies and tteok (sticky rice cakes), two ingredients that I can't get anywhere else. I hope to make kombucha porridge (hobakjuk) with anchovy stock this weekend, as the first time I made it I found it way too sweet for my tastes, and couldn't finish it; the local kimchi vendor at the farmer's market suggested I make it savory by using anchovy stock, so I'll see.

I also got some king oyster mushrooms, so I can make the mushroom and seafood porridge (haemul beoseotjuk) with proper ingredients. I also picked up a small container of spicy cucumber kimchi (oisobadi), as the recipe I have makes way more than I can be expected to eat in a reasonable amout of time.
