Huff and Puff Fish

October 5, 2011 blog meet-up

There is an episode on “Mad Men” when the news of Marilyn Monroe’s death stunned the world. I could understand why it would make the front page news, and why all the publications would want to sensationalize it. What I couldn’t understand was the level of trauma ordinary people experienced from the incident. On that [...]

Yujean Kang’s: A 10-course, 5-hour gastronomical extravaganza

August 13, 2011 blog meet-up

I called my mother almost every night this week, half-singing with glee. “Guess what I did today!” I would yelp happily. I think I really need to be in a Glee Club, because these days there are so many instances when I just want to break out into a song and start dancing. And most [...]

All the Single Ladies

July 6, 2011 My story

Last night, I came home early from work. I had a great day: an awesome interview with Marja Vongerichten (the host of the upcoming PBS TV series “Kimchi Chronicles” and wife of Chef Jean-Georges), a busy work day of transcribing and writing (no thumb-twiddling!) and a yummy mid-afternoon Asian snack (strawberry cheesecake pretzel sticks). And [...]
