Advisory Snacks

In my student advisory, everyone takes turns bringing in snacks. When it’s my turn, I make a point to bring Korean and Chinese foods, especially things that are interesting or require a bit of special preparation. Last week I made homemade seo-dukk seo-dukk. The time before I made kimchi fried rice. People ask questions; food opens conversations. Sharing food and flavors together is an easy entry point to sharing culture and a better understanding of what makes people eat the things that they do .
