Hi everyone, how`s your fall weekend going ? I've been resting/ relaxing at home。The entry below is my Chinese entry from yesterday,(=The entry below is yesterday's Chinese entry.),and this time I'm going to try to write it in English even though it's not easy for me.
Thus I know that I'll make a lot of mistakes, but I will still try to/attempt to write it once for my pleasure of learning . ☆ Please correct my mistakes.☆ THANK YOU FOR READING AND thank you for helping me!)----（Sep 17th 2011)Today/ This time/ I`m uploading some pictures of a menu of a restaurant near my house, and some food/dishes/ that my family ate/had there . These are pictures which I took when we three family members ate dinner there the day after Chusek (Korean Thanksgiving). (=These are pictures which I took when my family members and I had dinner there on the day after Chusek (Korean Thanksgiving ) These are the pictures I took on the day after Chusek (Korean Thanksgiving) when we three family members had/ate/ dinner there. On this occasion I WILL briefly introduce I will briefly introduce Korean "샤브샤브/Shabu-shabu” and “보쌈/bossam" to everyone.
As you can see through the picture I took of the menu's pictures,
this restaurant sells//serves 냉면/naengmyeon; (Korean cold noodles) , ‘만두/dumpling’,‘찐만두/steamed dumpling’,‘샤브샤브/Shabu-shabu]/）’and ‘보쌈/bossam‘
• Shabu-shabu is a kind of dish in which thinly sliced beef and vegetables are blanched in boiling water then eaten together. But I don`t know how to say '보쌈/bossam ' in Chinese. That day my family ate a "샤브샤브/Shabu-shabu" and "보쌈/bossam" combo。 Korean Shabu-shabu conforms to Chinese "火锅Huo-gu ". We blanch[parboil] thinly sliced beef meat and vegetables in boiling water and eat.However I don`t know how to say 'Bossam' in Chinese. The main ingredient of 'Bossam' is boiled pork meat/pig meat. We usually rap thinly sliced pork meat up with Korean Bosam-Gimchi and then eat it. After we're done eating (=After having ) the Shabu-shabu and Bossam, we put noodles in that Shabu-shabu's soup and eat it too. And lastly( /Finally),we make/cook/ rice porridge using that Shabu-shabu soup. Thus, we finished eating heartily, walked leisurely/slowly back home while enjoying the cool fall evening breeze.

Hello, everyone. How is your weekend going? I've just been relaxing here at home. Below is a Chinese entry from yesterday. I'm trying to translate it into English, but it's not very easy so I'm sure I've made quite a few mistakes. Please correct any you find. Thank you for you help!
Today I'll be uploading some pictures of a restaurant near my house and some of the dishes my family and I had there for Chuseok, Korea's Thanksgiving. As you can see from the pictures on the menu, this restaurant serves Naengmyeong (Korean cold noodles), dumplings, shabu-shabu (a dish where vegetables and thinly sliced beef are dipped into boiling water and then eaten together) and bossam, boiled pork meat wrapped in bossam-kimchi. After enjoying the shabu-shabu and bossam we put noodles into the soup left by the shabu-shabu and ate them as well. Finally, we made rice porridge with the shabu-shabu broth. After eating such a hearty meal, we
took a stroll to enjoy the cool autumn evening breeze and returned home.
