13. Yikes!

I’ve had a package of TJ’s Tteok Bok Ki—spicy rice cakes—in the freezer for months. In retrospect, I suspect they predate Hurricane Milton and most likely thawed during days of no electricity and were then re-frozen. And moved. And ignored for months.

Finally decided tonight was the night to try them out. I chose to airfry rather than do them in a skillet, thinking I’d prefer them a little crispy on the edges.

Nope. Largely inedible, though the sauce is good. Wish now I’d just thawed them *in* the sauce for 10 minutes so they’d absorb the sauce. They’ll now sit in the fridge trying to soften up (or be forgotten for until tossed out…) and my son is making me some pasta instead (and using the Korean sauce on his own dinner).

This will keep me from going apeshit at the supermarket for a good while, I suppose. Sometimes, it doesn’t pan out when I get adventurous. *sigh*
