The street we live on

Watermelon here is super expensive, that is $18,800(on sale from $21,800) won or $18.80 US currency for a watermelon. I don't know why it cost so much or why it baffles me that a watermelon can cost $18 (another idea to learn!). We live by Gachon University it is a medical school. The main street by us, Bokjeong-ro, is about a mile and a half long and filled with stores, markets, coffee shops and two french bakeries. The first time Murphy and I walked around was at 4:00am, after our first night here. We have done a lot of walking around at weird times(2:00am, 4:30am,5:30am) getting over the jet lag.The names of restaurants are kind of funny like Donky Chicken, Pork Fork, Pizza School, Momma's Burgers, Thunder Chicken or our favorite Johnson(yes it is just Johnson). The one thing I don't know, if there are more coffee shops or pubs? There are 1-2 coffee shops on each block on each side of the street and half the restaurants call themselves pubs. There are 6-7 markets on our little street, they all carry the same things but price really varies. It was a little overwhelming at first with everything being new and not knowing what anything says or the funny looks we had at 2:00 in the morning, father and son walking down the street. We have been here a week now, we still find all sorts of new various and sundry items and it is starting to feel a little like home.

Southwest Chicken Sandwich with Chipotle Aioli

This is a super easy chicken sandwich you can serve this hot or as a cold sandwich. We make a sandwich everyday at work for the residents this is the best one yet.

Ingredients-

2 Red Peppers
1 Red Onion cut into strips
Sliced Pepper Jack Cheese
4 Chicken Breast boneless, skinless
1 Can Chipotle Peppers(At the end of the growing season, jalapeños naturally ripen and turn bright red)
2 Cups Mayo
1 Head of Lettuce
4 Buns (whatever kind you like. In the picture is fresh baked hoagie buns)

Directions-

1. Roast red peppers on grill until all nice and charred on all sides. Put peppers into Tupperware or a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for 20 minutes. Peel skin off of peppers, core and cut into strips.
2.  This step is all about you, how spicy do you like your food(when I make this for my wife it is just mayo, she can not do spicy food. She can't eat that fast food taco place's mild sauce). You get about 6-7 peppers out of each can of chipotle peppers, empty can into a bowl and leave 2-3 peppers in bowl. Take the peppers you left in the bowl out and dice them and return them to bowl, add mayo and whisk.
3. Grill the chick until internal temp is 165 degrees, while chicken is cooking put chapotle aioli on bun add cheese, peppers, onion and lettuce. Once chicken is cooked add to sandwich… enjoy!
