Hello~~

Welcome to my new food blog! A recent inspiration filled the mind beginning with a trip to the Redbox in Palisades Park. If you don't know Redbox, it's the most amazing thing ever. DVD rentals for a dollar! For those folks who are forgetful in returning, don't worry. It's only a dollar a day. So my husband (Kee) was a good sport and watched the movie Julie and Julia with me and it inspired this blog about food adventures. Food is essential to health, friendships and hobby which will always be around so there will be a never ending list of things to write about.My husband and I got married at the end of October so we're fairly new to this marriage thing, but so far we love it. We highly recommend to all. I love to cook and he loves to eat so it works. Being a new wife, there's more thinking involved in cooking since it no longer is to eat for myself, but for my husband and also my future kids. Things need to taste good, but it also has to be good for the health. So he is my test subject, but gratitude pours from the heart because he is more than willing to eat the cookings of a new wife whether it has too much salt or no salt at all. Critiquing is also very welcome after a bad recipe and especially after a good one. The rewards for planning the meal, shopping for the meal and cooking the meal? A happy husband of course!... and hopefully in the future, happy and healthy kids. Thank you to my husband for allowing me to put things into the shopping cart that aren't necessary but for the sake of filling my curiosity and my "projects". The basics of this page are set up along with a happy tune playing in the background and plums at the top of the page. It would have been nice to have a image at the top of something that has much meaning personally like a pomegranite (which I have learned has a exorbitant amount of antioxidants that makes us superhuman and is simply a pretty fruit), but it came from a created template by the program...but it works! It's staying and hopefully in the near future, there will be something to be said about those plums, but for now, I don't know anything about them except that if you dry them, they become prunes.

Since technical things aren't a forte, here is a picture of a pomegranite on the blog instead of the top banner. It has a rich red color, juicy and as before, it makes you superhuman. A recent find at Hanareum was that these fruits are packed ready-to-eat. They take away the step of wrestling each one of these juicy shirt-staining bits out of it's rind and into your mouth so you're much happier and left with more time to do other things like playing Puzzle Fighter, (Jenny and Brian have us hooked!). Thank you Hanareum.



Yesterday, we had our dear friends Anna and Mitch over and tried making some Poisson Cru. The Kims and Kwaks both went to the same place for our honeymoons though at different times and this was one of the best things we ate. Fresh tuna, salt, limes, a mix of vegetables and cocounut juice make a refreshing island salad. It brought us back to our honeymoons and it was good to reminisce friends. The magic of food. Please feel free to leave any tip,advice and secrets for cooking for those who are far more advanced!Cheers to 2010 and as Julie and Julia say...

Bon Appetite!
