Coffee, Biofarma & Bibimbob

Prasa

After the moms of the 5 year olds dropped their kids at school, they came over for coffee.  It was very nice to get to see them again and talk to them a bit more.  We only stayed here for about 25 minutes total though since we had to get back to school to follow the kids to their field trip.

The weather today was much nicer.  It rained all day yesterday, so the ground was a bit muddy and sloppy, but at least there was no rain falling on us!  We drove for about 1/2 hour to a place in the country called Biofarma Priroda.  It was a medium sized farm where they had pigs, geese, goats, horses, donkey, chickens, cats, a dog that herded the goats, a guinea pig, and a hamster.  There were supposedly sheep, but they were out pasturing farther than we could walk all of the 4 & 5 year olds.  We got to feed the animals too, but the goats were mean.  One of them even ran up to a mom and butted her in the back when she had just been standing still.  I'm just glad they didn't get any of the kids - they were all right at eye-level with the horns.  We did get to see them milking the goats - they make cheeses and other foods from the milk.  There is also a restaurant on the farm.  After feeding the animals, the kids played on the playground for a bit.  At noon, the kids got back on the bus and headed back to school.

Then us moms went to a nice Korean restaurant together for lunch - Yay!  We went to Meahwa which is a Korean and Japanese restaurant.  Most of the moms were Korean (besides me, a Hungarian mom, and a Japanese mom) so they helped us get some traditional Korean foods.  We all had a brown tea that is made with brown rice and green tea.  The meal I got was Bibimbob.  It was a stone bowl that is extremely hot and is served with rice, vegetables, beef slices, and an egg on top.  You then mix in the amount of spice you want and stir.  It cooks in the hot bowl.  It was very good!  There was also sushi, miso soup, a korean oyster soup, and some appetizers.  After our meal, we had a cold tea that was cinnamon flavored and very sweet.   It was all great and looked so pretty!

We made it home just in time to get the kids!  It was such a good time, we're planning on getting together again before Christmas.

PS - The boys and I are now official Slovak Residents as of yesterday.  We have official passport pages and all!

PPS - Sorry about the blurry pictures - my battery was almost gone, so I was in a big hurry to snap a few and ended up moving too much!
