Cooking yummy dinners in my really small kitchen!

So basically, ever since we got packages from home containing taco seasoning, ranch dressing, hot sauce, pasta sauce packets, gravy packets, more ranch, more taco seasoning, and more hot sauce...our dinners have greatly improved. (THANKS FAMILY--YOU ARE THE BEST!!!) Then after about a month of being here, we got a Costco membership. Yes--it was necessary. Everything not part of Korean cuisine is expensive in the stores. Makes sense since it has to be imported. So everything we want to eat for dinner (we rarely eat Korean food for dinner--I mean, we have Korean food every day at lunch) would cost us a fortune if we bought it at the local E-Mart. Anyway, we buy pretty much everything we want that can be stored in the freezer or pantry at Costco once a month. Because of family-sent seasoning/sauces and our Costco food, Fluke and I have made some amazing dinners. Sometimes, we even impress ourselves with our cooking skills! We only take photos of the good-looking dinners though. We even have a "homemade food" picture album! I thought it was time to share some of these dinner pics with you!
After we bought the huge cheddar cheese block from Costco ^^
That's right...we made french fries!
Guess what the holiday was??
Happy 4th of July dinner!!!
Chicken parmigiana sandwiches 
The salad has amazing balsamic dressing (thanks dad)
Ravioli courtesy of Costco, pork chop courtesy of Costco,
and tomato/lettuce  courtesy of the local grocery store.
Yes, that silver thing is the space next to the sink meant for drying dishes,
but when we cook, it's where we put the cutting board/assemble our dinner plates. 
Taco night!!! We even fried the tortillas!!
Guess whose plate that was? heehee
Mashed potatoes and gravy!!!
The other stuff was good too, but the highlight was definitely the potatoes.
That's the space in front of my laptop. It's our "dinner table" when we eat! We could eat somewhere else, but then we couldn't watch our T.V. episodes haha
That's mozzarella cheese that hadn't melted yet haha 
Flowers from Fluke...just because! and those blue things are  like thunder sticks!
We bought them at the Samsung Lions baseball game.
