Hello, KC readers. It has been awhile and I thought it was finally time to come back and say, "Yes, Im still alive."Ive been meaning to post for a long time but it gets hard sometimes. Ever...
It has been a long time, no? We spent our summer in Seoul and despite my physical limitations, we were somehow able to travel to Busan, Gyeongju, and Andong. While in Gyeongju we didn’t book a hotel...
http://korean-cuisine.blogspot .com/p/recipes-by-pictures.htm l I’m still going to continue retooling this blog so it might go offline again in the future, but don’t fret. I will bring it back eventua...
“Remembering that Ill be dead soon is the most important tool Ive ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear ...
I just wanted to give readers a quick update. I was walking on crutches for about two weeks. Then I progressed to a cane for about a week. As of last week, I finally rid of the cane and have been wal...
I fell. For any normal person a simple fall probably wouldn’t mean that much. For a person with a tumor pressing against the hip joint – a simple fall means now having to rely on crutches to walk. I ...
Im still alive.Now that I got that out of the way...This last month has been difficult physically. I started limping about three weeks ago and initially I thought I might have pulled something but ...
While undergoing my latest treatments, our family decided to stay at my parents house so that we can take advantage of the extra help with Munchkin and the YUMMY food. No matter that weve been marrie...
I go through cycles.Up, down, round and round...I had a great last two weeks where I almost forgot that I had seven active tumors (yes, the count when up for those of you keeping track of numbers) in...
Coming soon! Hopefully in the next day or two, but hope you understand if that day or two ends up being a month or two. ;)I AM a little preoccupied with other things lately...
When do you learn to accept death?This is a question Ive been asking myself since I was first diagnosed. At what point would I accept that I was dying? Its not a question I wanted to deal with at 32 ...
I know I posted something similar to this at the start of my journey, but here I go again. When youre diagnosed with cancer, dont forget to get a second opinion. Even better, make sure you get that s...
My son is now five and a half years old.He is quite precocious and answering his never ending litany of questions takes a toll on me day and night. Yet I wouldnt trade my hyper-active, loud, rambunct...
It has been another one of those months.A month where I cant seem to put cancer and illness behind me. Many people around me are sick right now and I feel their pain and Ive been thrust back into wha...
I do realize I have neglected this blog once again. That just means that my real life has been running smoothly.I hope to be back within the month of March with a new recipe of some sort. Maybe I wil...
While in Korea, my cousin made a delicious chicken recipe for me that I immediately asked her about. Of course she didn’t give me exact measurements, but I copied her dish to the best of my abilit...
We’re back in Los Angeles and I couldn’t be happier. The weather is awesome. On our trip back from Korea, I brought some fresh miyuk, fresh ground gochuggaru, dashima and a bunch of other things ...
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!Im not doing much cooking out here in the Motherland only because I have a wonderful MIL who bans me from entering the kitchen. No, really. She doesnt let me...
Street Foods. You cant go wrong with this. =) Hope everyone has a very, Merry Christmas!
MOOOOOOO. That’s me being a cow. Hello all! I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving break – yes I realize I’m a bit late. Anyhow, I thought I would do a short little blog on cow parts. I made bee...
I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving! I’m sure our dinner table isn’t much different from some of the other Korean-American dinner tables out there. For as long as I can remember we have alw...
I made do-gan-neeh (basically same process as gom gook using different parts of the cow – in this case, cow knee bones) tang yesterday and added some beef eye of round into it as well. I took a big ...
Is fall/winter (they sorta just blend in SoCal don’t they?) finally hitting SoCal? About time, eh? It has been hot for so long that I’m sort of welcoming this cold. SORT OF. I’ll always be a So...
I received the results of my chest x-ray from earlier this week - and guess what?All is clear yet again. No funky shadows lurking in my lungs. =PThis huge wave of relief rushed over me instantly and ...
My two-year diagnosis date is fast approaching.Sometimes I still cant believe it.Sometimes it feels as if everything these past two years happened to someone else.Sometimes it still feels like a drea...
This California weather is sort of crazy, isn’t it? EARTHQUAKE weather for sure. =/ Growing up in Cali, I’m so used to earthquakes. I’ve been through quite a few of the big ones so they hardly bo...
I started this recipe a couple weeks ago, but never had the time to finish up the post. I’ll attempt to finish it now from my memory. =P I’m reusing the pictures from my older post on Fried Chicke...
I haven’t made this type of jook in so long…since Munchkin was a baby? Someone close to me is on a soft-food diet, so I thought I would whip up a batch of jook as an alternative to hospital food. I...
I had all the ingredients for Dak Galbi conveniently on hand, so I decided to give it a go tonight. I was going to save this post for later, but decided what the heck - I’ve been on a blogging binge...
A couple of weeks ago, nine women met up for some dak galbi at Choong Chun Dak Galbi in K-town. I know this place has been around for some time, but if you haven’t tried it yet – you should try it a...
