1). Start with the best ingredients. These lay the foundation for a delicious meal. Some Korean cooking essentials would include quality dried anchovies and kelp for stock, quality {and I can’t emphasize that enough} fish sauce, unrefined toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, pastes and flakes. I would recommend sourcing ingredients that are as natural and..read more
Kimchi It would be very remiss of me to not begin on this top with the King of Korean fermented foods, kimchi. What is in kimchi? It primarily consists of cabbage and salt but you can also include Korean radish/mu, scallions, sesame seeds, onions, garlic, ginger, Korean pepper flakes, fish sauce, baby brine shrimp, raw..read more
Tomorrow marks 5 years together and 2 years married. After 2 big moves to 2 islands, 5 houses, 2 category 5 hurricanes and a month and a half spent away from each other because of them, we are stronger for it. Happy anniversary, babe. Thank you for doing this life with me. I love you!..read more

It’s been some 3 months since Hurricane Maria and about a month and a half since I’ve been stateside. This time has been filled with work and spending time with loved..read more
I love St. Croix but there isn’t much for recycling on the island. It pains me to see stacks of styrofoam containers for to-go options when I’m dining out.
