그냥 사는 블로거

미국에서 회사생활을 하며 메신저에서 실제로 자주 쓰이는 표현들을 모아봤다.

  그게 빠른 해결책이 될 수 있겠네요.

• But thought i'd mention it just in case
  하지만 혹시나 싶어서 언급하는 게 좋을 것 같다고 생각했어요.

인플레이션으로 인해 지난 몇년동안 캐나다의 렌트비, 외식비, 장바구니 물가도 미친듯이 치솟았죠 ㅠㅠ 
내 월급 빼고 다 오른 것 같지만 어쩌겠어요. 이래 저래 외식 없이 살 방법을 찾아 요즘에는 웬만한 음식은 집에서 홈메이드로 다 만들고 있답니다. 

이번에 만든 음식은 hummus 예요. hummus 는 한국에서 후무스 혹은 훔무스 등으로 불리는데, 많이 알려져 있지는 않은 것 같아요. 병아리콩 chick pea 에 마늘과 라임주스 등을 약간 더해 갈아서 일종의 스프레드로 만든게 후무스인데요, 영양가도 좋고 감칠맛도 나고 너무 맛있답니다! 

사실 후무스는 마트에서도 비싸지 않게 구매하실 수 있어요. 3-5 불 내외로 어느 마트에서나 팔 거예요. 하지만 직접 만들기로 한 이유는 첫번째로, 비슷한 가격으로 훨씬 많은 양을 만들 수 있고, 두번째로 제가 좋아하는 재료를 약간 더 추가할 수 있다는 점 때문이었어요. 

제가 구매한 제품은 이 Aurora Chickpeas 캔 이예요. 물에 불려져 있는 상태로 보존되어있어서 캔을 따자마자 요리를 시작할 수 있다는 점이 가장 좋아요.

블렌더나 믹서에 불려져서 부드러운 병아리콩을 넣고 레몬즙, 다진 마늘 조금 (테이블 스푼 1스푼)을 넣어주면 되는데요, 저는 올리브 오일도 한 스푼 넣고 매콤한 맛을 약간 추가해보면 어떨까 해서 고춧가루도 약간 ㅎㅎ 추가했답니다. 

빨간 가루 보이시죠? 🤣

이 상태에서 병아리콩이 다 다져질 정도로 갈아준 후 락앤락에 잘 옮겨 담아주면 

완성되었어요 ~ ㅎㅎ

식빵이나 난에 발라먹으면 정말 맛있어요. 게다가 병아리콩은 단백질도 있고 영양도 좋아서 듬뿍 발라먹어도 아무 죄책감이 느껴지지 않는답니다ㅎ

외국인들이 후무스를 즐겨먹는다는 것을 들었을때, 저도 병아리콩을 꽤나 좋아하는 사람이지만 이걸 빵에 발라먹는다니 맛이 상상이 안가고 꺼려지기까지 했는데 약간의 msg 가 첨가된 듯 한 감칠맛이 돌고 고소하고, 한 번 먹어보니 왜 사람들이 좋아하는지 알겠더라고요. 

아보카도와 과카몰리가 약간 다른 것 처럼 병아리콩과 후메스도 그런 느낌이랄까요?

간단한 음식이니 집에서 만들어 드셔보시길 권합니다ㅎㅎ

• Why don't we take 5? It'll help alleviate the tention in the room.
• Thank you for your help. That's a huge weight off my shoulders. 
• I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulder.
• I think I might just lay back this year. (올해는 그냥 아무것도 안 할까봐)
• I'll have the whole apartment to myself for a few days.
• Just leave dirty dishes in the sink.
• It's just going to be the two of them.
• You'll be missing out on some fun.
• Right on 좋지
• It was uneventful. I just stayed home and watched a movie.
• You make sense of the world around you and why this happens.
• Think out the words before they come out
• I’m shot, I’m wiped out
• It's safer, supposedly.
• They felt nice in the hand.
• I'm worried I might say something wrong.
• This will only put them off
• I was mesmerised by the whole production
• I was mesmerised by the nature there.
• Her voice is so mesmerising.
• I was way off 내가 완전 잘못 생각했어

• Bypass = avoid/ignore official authority

• inexorable = continuing without any possibilities of being stopped
• squiggly 꾸불꾸불한

• dough = money
• have money to burn 
• counterfactual (명사, 형용사)  
• coffee table book (they are not intended to be read from cover to cover)

I unfolded the old letter of her again, reading the squiggly handwritting. She was helping me out of benevolence. It felt like this relationship was inexorable. She might've had a lot of dough, so it isn't surprising she had money to burn helping me like this. Or was it just a bypass for her to get her permission to run for the president in the center? Showing the proof of this kind of stuff is enough to upstage. I need to stop endless counterfactual thinking. Our relationship has reached to its endpoint, ran its course a long time ago. This makes me to introspect. Now it's my turn to help someone. I could replicate what she's done to me. I picked up a coffee table book in my salon. 

We took the road that bypasses the town. 

I'm not at an endpoint of even at a midpoint in my career.
We've reached an an acceptable endpoint in this litigation.

Achiving a goal is an endpoint but it's also just a moment in time something we celebrate and move on.

Aging is an inexorable process.

squiggly lines, squiggly road 

Our cells replicate by dividing

I don't know what her job is but she certainly seems to have money to burn.

Thoughts about how an embarrssing event might have turned out differently are known to psycholosits as counterfactual thinking.

Historians talk about counterfactual things all the time

ex) hypothetical counterfactual, counterfactual questions, counterfactual history

• drill in = to teach something through repetition/ to give someone practice in sth
• interim = temporary until the permanent one exists.
  • patronizing (형) speaking/behaving towards someone as if they're stupid
    Or to be a regular customer

• hit the nail on the head = to be exactly right about something
• rando - random person (usually not welcomed, unexpected)
• flabbergasted = feeling shocked (unexpected)
• mishap = unlucky event, accident (usually not too serious)
• overshoot 너무 나가다, 정지선보다 beyond and further, 

I really appreciate my coworkers since I know they try so hard to drill me in the company stuff. When I made some components too stand out from others, they gently pointed out that they shouldn't be prominent. Although I sometimes make little mishaps, I never overshoot, so I thought I was doing pretty well. Once I asked one of them how they're so nice, and they told me they used to criticize others in the team but once their manager gave them this feedback of "don't dish it out if you can't take it" and to other people who like to patronize when they talk. Those condescending culture demoralised the team in general, and he told me they're trying to be an interim manager/advisor to new hires after the manager quit, cause they deserve to be treated nicely, they're not randos, if anything, team mambers. I was flabbergasted, and kinda hit the nail on the head.

The teacher drilled the students in the use of the passive.
An interim solution. An interim government. In the interim.... an interim job, 

It's that patronizing tone of her that I can't bear. STOP patronizing me, I understand as well as you do.

Goverment spending ontinues to overshoot. We overshot our budget this month by 12%

The low salary is very demoralising.

I hate the way he's so condescending to his staff

When he made up his mind on becoming celibate, he obviously he didn't factor in what would be ensuing. It was when he was 12 year old. On the cusp of 20, he was already in colleage, and he started to realise this is not very possible. Seeing that volatile dating experiences of his friends, he naturally started to eager something like that too. And the cinema near the campus was the locale of something happened to him. He was hanging out with his cinephile friend, Joe, and he kinda started to snuggle up with him. He felt something deep down that he want this so bad. But he always was so proud of his tally, and the recency of the body changes of himself was challenging him very much. He was afraid of repercussion of this. Joe found a deprecated hatch on the cinema floor, and they went in there. Later he said "admittedly, I went into the hatch with Joe, but nothing happened. But Joe shared his intimate pictures with him and the picture was worth a thousand words.

He regarded sex outside of marrige as sinful, he remained celibate all his life.
He discribed himself as "a reluctant celibate" 

Any decrease in tourism could have serious repercussion for the local economy.
Far-reaching repercussion

We don't keep a tally of it.
