My baby brother did his entire dorm room in patriotic Red, White and Blues. We all celebrated with an American feast when Mom and Dad got their citizenship. We’re a family that’s proud to be American. Though, the bittersweet irony of this post in relation to my last post can be pointed out. Le sigh,..read more
Clouds & Cotton Candy. That’s the texture I’m talkin’ about. If the coagulation of the egg whites doesn’t scare you off, you not only win the bravery badge, you win the yummy one as well. Everyone seems to get so freaked out about whipping up egg whites and I tend to think that it whittles..read more
Even if the sweat on your brow all this time told you otherwise, today is officially the first day of Summer. I love any occasion that revolves around food so c’mon in Summer! Summer arrives with the same eagerness of all the kids excited to finally be out of school, bearing gifts of backyard bbq’s,..read more
As most (not all) distinguished gentlemen of a certain age, daddy likes what he likes. He bites into raw onions like apples and grins as he dips his extra large dried anchovies into gochujang (Korean red pepper paste). His favorite foods include maeuntang, oreos, fig newtons, anything with fish, and this sujebi. I used to..read more
One of my absolute favorite things to do is to peruse the aisles of my market. A bystander might scoff at the excruciatingly slow process of me picking up beautiful jars of this and that, just to stare, turn over in my grasp, and ponder. The adventure of the grocery store begins from the get..read more
Or at least it can in this case. I feel like almost everyone I know thoroughly enjoys when the climate outside starts dipping lower and lower then encourages ice glazed windshields or barren, skeletal trees that look as if they might slash you with their knobbly limbs. Sure there’s a certain appeal to a white..read more
When I was little, there were just a few handful of things that were on rotation on the menu. Spam, rice, soup,kimchi, seaweed wraps, and these anchovies. I remember mom taking a scoop of hot rice with a few drops of soy sauce and mixing it with generous smudges of butter. We’d eat it with..read more
Sure, I’m biased but I love Kimchi. Did you know that Koreans will say “kimchi!” instead of “cheese” when taking pictures? And did you know that one of my favorite ways to have kimchi is with spaghetti? 5.0 from 1 reviews Kimchi Prep time 3 hours Total time 3 hours Author: The Squishy..read more
I celebrated by making Kimchi. Traditionally, Tteokguk/Dukguk (soft Rice Cakes sliced on a bias with hot Anchovy or Meat Broth with Scallions, Roasted Seaweed, and Egg) is eaten but to be quite honest, I didn’t feel like eating it. In short, I didn’t. Perhaps that makes me a bad Korean. Perhaps–lol. When I feel like..read more
I asked around the other day if anyone knew what kava was. The generous consensus was no. In truth, it’s a humble plant, having been revered forever by the people of the Islands for its sedative properties. When obtaining mainstream kava often times, it’s packaged in its dried processed form–the dried root of the kava..read more
