Yukgaejang is not a docile, well-mannered Korean soup that you sip demurely while wearing your best clothes. .
.
.
Yukgaejang is a chewy, tough soup. There's lots of texture from the tangle of wild vegetables. There's lots of spicy oil that's sure to splash every which way. You'll be chewing longer than you think, slurping and splashing more vigorously than you thought possible, and wiping flecks of spicy broth from your chin and forehead. .
.
.
But is it worth it?? OF COURSE IT IS!!

New post, up on the blog tomorrow!!

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! 🍁🍂 🦃 🇨🇦
.
.
.
Every year there’s so much to be thankful for. This year, I’m thankful to call Toronto home. .
.
.
I’ve lived in different cities for most of my life — enough to feel like a bit of a nomad. I’ve lived in Buenos Aires, Seattle, Atlanta, NYC, Vancouver, and now Toronto. This year marks 11 years that we’ve been in Toronto and it’s the longest stretch of time I’ve ever lived consecutively in any city, including Seattle my beloved “hometown.” .
.
.
There are benefits to moving around — I can pretty much pack up and move to wherever, I’m not shy and make new friends easily, and I like the adventure of adapting to a new place. .
.
.
But this year, we’ve decided to make a long term commitment to Toronto. Honestly, it’s terrifying. I’d so much rather flit from place to place and people to people, because there’s safety in having another option and easy way out. .
.
.
Instead, we are choosing something different: to be present, to bring flourishing to our neighborhood, to grow with the people around us. .
.
.
This thanksgiving, I am thankful for the place and community we’ve come to love and call home ❤️❤️

The first few times I made pasta carbonara, I scrambled the eggs and ended up throwing out the mess. I used to wonder how people made it look so easy. .
.
.
Now I know how: PRACTICE. Because cooking is a skill just like anything else. The more you practice, the better you’ll get. Most first attempts are not that great. I think it takes about 3 tries to get the hang of a new dish. .
.
.
Since that first time, I’ve made pasta carbonara (at least) 50 times!!! I don’t scramble the eggs anymore but I’ve cooked it so much that I can’t eat it anymore either. That’s the cooking life for you lol 😆 #pastacarbonara #pastaislife

My Halmoni. Fun. Charming. Adventurous. She had a wicked sense of humour (still does) and could hoola hoop longer than anyone else. .
.
.
Sometimes people hear the word “immigrant” and think: poor, uneducated, lazy, a drain on society. My Halmoni was an immigrant but she was none of these things. She spoke multiple languages, worked steady jobs, volunteered, put dinner on the table, and raised me and my brother. .
.
.
Lest you think she was a sweet old lady who wore sensible clothes and made soup all day, she wore silk scarves and fox collars, Chanel suits and high heels. She was her own person! Chatty and vivacious, fierce and sassy #halmoni #ilovemygrandma

Tender, luscious chunks of beef that fall off the bone. Saucy, deep richness that begs to be spooned over rice. A dish that’s so decadent and satisfying, you’ll understand why this was reserved for Korean royalty #galbijjim #ilovekoreanfood .

Because life can’t get any easier than Chicken Drumsticks and gochujang glaze 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
.
.
.
If you’re wondering if this is too spicy for you, my kids all enjoy this dish (Ages 12, 11, 8). If they can eat it, I’m betting you can too 😉😉

Recipe is on the blog, just type “Gochujang Chicken Drumsticks” in the search bar. Enjoy!!!
