FaveCrafts “Because you’re foreign…” Western, White and English privilege in Korea | Mapping Words *Note: This post chronicles my own experiences with privilege in Korea as a White, American female. I am NOT speaking for all White people, females, Americans, Westerners or even Koreans. Even Hans, the German office worker, is given special treatment in my Korean textbook–full-body shot, front and center, standing next to Mina, the Korean girl on the bench. I nervously sat among my classmates in a holography class at the Korea National University of Arts in February 2009. A few days earlier, I’d flown to Korea to begin my semester as an exchange student. It seems obvious, but that minor detail made me realize that I was different. A few months later, all the students in the fine arts department went on an MT (membership training) trip to the East Coast.

Noodlehead This Mama Makes Stuff Goodnight Little Spoon Almond Roca Recipe Almond Roca I’ve been a busy little candy maker lately, anticipating the desire for holiday gifting. So far, I’ve made truffles, peanut brittle, fudge and this Almond Roca. The almond roca is my favorite. My TOTAL favorite. Here’s how you make it… Sprinkle 3/4 cup chopped and toasted almonds into the bottom of a buttered 7×11-inch glass pan. Melt some butter in a medium saucepan. Add brown sugar, and stir it up. Bring the mixture to a boil. Boil the butter/sugar mixture for 12 minutes exactly (stirring constantly). Pour it on top of the almonds in the pan– drizzling it all over and and filling in all of the spaces with the toffee. Place four chocolate bars on top of the hot toffee. Let them sit there for a minute or so and get all gooey and melted, then use the bottom of a spoon to spread the chocolate around. Spread all the way to the edges. Sprinkle more almonds on top. Sample! It’s best to get this out of your house as quickly as possible.
