so i've been eating a lot at this kimbap place near work and i've been having dolsot bibimbap quite often. the vegetables they put in this version are a little different because it's served in a hot stone pot. they put a raw egg on top and you mix it up and the egg cooks. last week in addition to the usual kimchi, seaweed and pickled turnip side dishes, they brought out some curry potatoes, onions and carrots. i was super excited so the next day i went back and ordered the curry on rice dish assuming it would be the same. it was except it had chicken. it was my fault for not asking or saying no meat and i was not going to send it back, so i ate it. eating it reaffirmed what i've known for a very long time, that chicken doesn't taste like anything at all and it's only a texture and completely pointless to eat.
every korean family has their own kimchi recipe and my coworker richard brought me a whole bunch of his kimchi. it's the hottest kimchi i've had here. nose running, cheeks burning and some sweating. so good. pindaettok is the name of the scallion pancake type thing that i get at a restaurant in my neighborhood. i've been wanting to try one made with kimchi instead of scallion but have not seen it anywhere, so hyunjoo came by and made it for me with richard's kimchi. it's one of my favorite things to eat with a beer after i get out of work. now i know how to make it.
one more thing.....it's been snowing for a few hours now. hopefully snowboarding somewhere soon.

chicken, IN CURRY, doesn't taste like anything at all [except bumps in your curry]. real chicken as a separate course is delicious! Also, why don't my coworkers offer to come to my house and cook me dinner?
blah blah chicken blah blah blah. have you asked? do you talk to them? maybe you can start with hello. just kidding.
