Spicy Chicken BBQ – Dak Galbi – 닭 갈비

I had all the ingredients for Dak Galbi conveniently on hand, so I decided to give it a go tonight.  I was going to save this post for later, but decided what the heck - I’ve been on a blogging binge eh?  =P   Ingredients Needed: 2 small chicken breasts - I buy the thin breast filets at Ralphs and saran wrap each individual breast and store them in bags in the freezer – I will take a

Choong Chun Dak Galbi - (Restaurant Review)

A couple of weeks ago, nine women met up for some dak galbi at Choong Chun Dak Galbi in K-town.  I know this place has been around for some time, but if you haven’t tried it yet – you should try it at least once.  It’s not mind-blowing by any means, but it’s one of those restaurants I say you should try at least once.   Anyhow, the reason I posted this picture up is because I plan on

Life has been trudging along as usual.  I’m quickly approaching my two-year cancer anniversary and it’s unbelievable how
