Is this thing on?

"Honey, don't forget to tell your mother, the kids and I will not be going there for lunch, because I am sick". Two hours later "ring ring"  caller id says mom. I take it he forgot to tell her. Maybe because he was born a man, he lacks common sense and has the delayed to do list gene, who knows. Please make my life easier as your wife and listen to what I say. It's not a difficult task, but you choose to make it that way. When your wife tells you to take out the trash, it pretty much means that very moment, not ten minutes from now or an hour, but now! A lot of times my husband has the tendency to forget what he is assigned to do, but low and behold his friend asks for a favor, he's there in a flash. Please explain that one to me? I am not the evil, bitching, nag he makes me out to be, the problem is, he need to open his ears! I know there are many wives out there feeling the same exact thing, is there a solution? no, it's inevitable.

Club 33

Will I ever get to enjoy this culinary mecca nestled away near pirates of the caribbean?

party favors

Here's a little something I did for a friend of mine. I placed 3-4 freshly baked cookies in a bag and tied them with nylon string (found in a asian store). I printed off labels using alice in wonderland font and adding a little note letting the guest know it's nut free.

Korean Fried Fish

This is one of my favorite dishes from when I was little.. I know it's so simple, but oh so tasty!

8-10 white fish cut into 3 pieces ( I like flounder or cod)
2 eggs
1 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp peper
3 tbsp vegetable oil
blend all the dry ingredients together on a separate plate
beat the two eggs into a bowl
drench the fish into the flour, then dip into the egg and place on a hot frying pan with oil.
fry until golden brown and enjoy...
my kids like to dip the fish in soy sauce, but I prefer to eat it with rice.

It's amazing how time can feel like it is standing still, but moving fast at the same time.

Kimchee jung gol

My mother in law made this for the new year, since we opted out on rice cake soup. I would say it was one of her yummiest dishes, too bad she finds it a pain to cook for us.
