Greetings from Korea!

We are safe and sound in Korea. All the family here has been intent on feeding us until we pop. But all we've been craving is street food. =P...

It feels good to be home.

We're back from Korea! It feels SO good to be home. I ate and tasted so many new foods. There are many things I want to try and copy! =P Stay tuned for some new recipes. I'm going to attempt to replicate some of the great dishes we ate while in the motherland. I think I'll start by trying to make THIS. Momeel gooksoo + dongchimi gookmool = heaven on a chopsti...

Mook

I suppose it's another one of those late nights... While in Korea, we enjoyed mook everywhere we went. Eating mook at various restaurants in various forms totally made me reminisce my childhood.

We acted like total tourists and rented bicycles and zipped up and down the beach. If you ...

Rolled Egg – (계란 말이)

I’m currently in the midst of using new publishing software to make posting on this blog a bit easier. I’m a bit comp-illiterate so trying to figure out how to use a new platform is quite time consuming. You might see a lot of posts coming up and down over the next few weeks while I try and get everything sorted out. =P Please bear with me. Anyhow, over the weekend we dropped by K-Town to...
