I Shouldn’t Have to Tell You This.

I shouldn’t have to tell you these things about eating out at a restaurant. Most of you are couth (Is that the opposite of uncouth?) members of society who know how to compose yourselves when dining out with the rest of us. This post should just serve as entertainment for you. But as a former […]

Om Nom Nom: Berry Sorbet

Lately it’s been hard for me to glean a lot of satisfaction from food because I simply have no room in my tum-tum for it. Bebe takes up prime real estate in my torso and makes it hard to keep a lot down, so my meals are basically limited to a few bites here and […]

The Things You Miss

Sometimes I fear that this space is becoming a shrine to the places where I am not. When I’m not decrying Fayetteville, I’m planning for the Bebe and all that she’ll bring to my future. There’s nobility to that. Expectation, longing, and love. How could you resist meditating on a blessing, albeit mysterious and possibly […]

Turkey Burgers! Om Nom Nom

About a hundred years ago I thought I would post recipes and food stuff more regularly here, but then I felt constrained to impart numerous jewels of wisdom (ie how Korean kids like to poke your bottom) that I have accumulated through my extensive travels from places as vast as Walmart and Korea. To those who subscribed thinking that […]

Nom Nom of the Week: Perfect Choco Chip Cookies

Maybe on a slow week I’ll share with you a recipe for a kale salad or something. If you are pregnant, you need no excuse to occasionally […]

A Study in Pregnancy Guilt: Coffee

I’m pretty clueless about the whole pregnancy thing. Among my close friends and family, I am the first person to have a baby in a really long time. The last baby I spent a lot of time around – my cousin Maddie – was born in 2000, and no, I can’t recall a lot more […]

Nom Nom of the Week: Blueberry Bars

I’ve been working hard to eat healthy throughout my pregnancy. I add spinach to nearly everything and I buy organic (and intend to continue doing so after the birth) and drink several cowfuls of milk a day (actually that last one is just a lucky craving.) The sweet tooth that many pregnant women speak of […]

Perfect Weekend

Friends. Beaches. Korean food. I wish many things for Bebe when (s)he arrives. Although my hopes for my baby are all based in what (s)he finds solace in, I can’t help but think that her life will surely be made better by good friends, trips to the beach, and joy of all joys, Korean food. […]
