New Year's Tteokguk (Warding Off Bad Luck)

202401010, #breakfastdiary 939, 0°C/cloudy Yesterday I stopped by the library and borrowed one last book to close out the year, and re-subscribed to #quietlife. I kept replaying 'I could smell your shampoo among the swaying flowers' (song by SAya and Jaeyeon) on repeat. Today I visited my mother and had a bowl of tteokguk. Back home, I quietly thought about a few projects to carry through the coming year. One odd thing — right in front of a café near my place, I slipped and pitched forward dramatically, like something out of a comic strip, but twisted my body and landed on my triceps, so I was fine. Maybe that's my dose of #badluck for the year, cleared out early so 2024 brings good fortune? #tteokgukkit Mix the rice cakes with 1 soy sauce and a little sesame oil so the flavor soaks in. Add the broth base, rice cakes, and dumplings to boiling water, bring to a boil, then ladle into a bowl and top with garnish. - 202401010, #breakfastdiary 939, 0°C/cloudy #tteokgukkit Mix the rice cakes with 1 soy sauce and a little sesame oil so the flavor soaks in.
