First it was avocado toast. . .now my new food obsession is poke bowls. I’ve always enjoyed them but not many places offered them as part of the menu. Lately I’ve even seen some at Harris Teeter – you know – by their “sushi” counter and it was very acceptable! Recently we went out toContinue reading “Poke Bowls”

South Korea, Here I Come!
NEXT year. I HOPE. MAYBE? I’m planning a whole year ahead and yet, we are still not sure if it will happen. This is the power of the pandemic. On top of that, the war in Ukraine leaves all of our future in the ??? zone as we watch the horror unfold. I feel veryContinue reading “South Korea, Here I Come!”
Korean “Corn Dogs”

Black History IS American History
I have lived in the US since 1975 and have had the privilege of living in a mostly peaceful, safe, prosperous and dynamic environment. I am proud to be an American citizen and I am just as proud to have Korean and Hungarian heritage.

At the first sign of the possibility, theContinue reading “Snow, Sleet, Freezing Rain and Rain”
My “Uncle” Peter
Uncle Peter reminds me a lot of my Mother. They were both born in the mid 1940’s and they both had to really work hard to earn their money and status. The difference between them is that Peter is sane and happy. It has been a lot of fun getting to know him. Slowly ourContinue reading “My “Uncle” Peter”
