Korean Egg Toast

September 29, 2011 My story

I think it was because I read too many British books, but I loved sandwiches as a child. Freaking loved them. Not just because they tasted good, but because they are…well, they’re sandwiches. They’re so…tea party British-like! I got mad when my mother refused to cut the dark crusts out into a perfect white triangular [...]

The Top Chef Made Me Sandwiches

September 27, 2011 blog meet-up

If I had to choose, I would choose watching a TV series over a movie. I’m a big TV person. Ironically, I don’t own a TV (I watch everything on Hulu or Netflix). But yeah, I never like a TV series—I get infatuated with it. Thankfully, like all infatuations, I can hop from one object [...]

Weekend ED Series: In Transit to Recovery

September 24, 2011 eating disorders

**** I had the most amazing Persian food last night. It was so freaking delicious that I thought my tongue would spring up and do a belly (tongue?) dance. You know those moments when you have that spoon in your mouth and all you can do is widen your eyes and go “mmm…mmMMM…MMM!!!!” It’s even [...]

But this show is actually pretty good (And Canadians are awesome by the way, so throw away the superiority, fellow Americans). The main character, obviously named Erica, is [...]

Soju Shot, “Kkkkk!”

September 20, 2011 eating out

When I was living in Singapore, I was one of the few Korean expatriates. I moved to America in 2001, just as more and more Koreans started flooding in to Singapore. It was also the time when the “Korean wave” (한류, or pronounced “Hallyu”) just started sweeping over Asia. Too bad I moved just before [...]

Weekend ED Series Interlude: What’s to blame for eating disorders?

September 17, 2011 eating disorders

**** Today is one of the happiest day of my life. Someone I care about accepted Christ, and if I didn’t have a mountain of work to do, I would be calling my friends to pop champagne and celebrate. That will have to wait, because tomorrow I’m taking a friend out for her first alcoholic [...]
