August 18, 2008 12 Comments
It’s empty now, but it won’t be once school kicks off again. One short week. That’s all that stands between me and mayhem. Soon the school year will kick off with the unpacking, arranging, sorting, planning, organizing, meetings, and whatnot. All BEFORE the students even *think* about venturing out of their beds earlier than their [...]

When I was in middle school – 6th grade, I think – we were all required to take a cooking class. Unbelievably, I still have the “cookbook” the teacher gave us (mimeographed in purple ink, of course.) I shared the contents with my sister a couple months ago. We both shared a great laugh about [...]

GF: Korean BBQ Short Ribs, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Believe it or not, you have more to worry about that just soy sauce with wheat when you consider eating out at a Korean restaurant. Many Korean dishes also contain “mool yut” – or a Korean Malt Syrup (barley malt). It’s easier to make the [...]
