Korean BBQ is one of the country’s greatest inventions. Bulgogi falls into this category, thinly sliced beef, sweetly marinated and grilled and served with rice. I nearly always have these ingredients on hand, with the exception of the meat, but we don’t make it near as often as we would like. Seeing that it was Lunar New Year, it was a great excuse for me to hit up the little Korean store we have. They make trips to Dallas and buy things at the Korean supermarkets to stock their store. I felt honored to have snagged some of this meat!

I think that every single culture may have a version of a potato pancake. You know why? Probably because they’re easy and delicious. And surprisingly contain a lot of vitamins and minerals. I have some very fond memories of potato pancakes: my friend in middle school sharing latkes with us at lunch during Hanukkah, grating potatoes on the porch in silence with my roommate’s grandma who spoke no English when on a homestay in Korea, to this Oktoberfest, mooching off of someone’s German version. My grandma (Oklahoman) told me that they used to make them from leftover mashed potatoes.
First of all, I want to welcome you all to what I’m going to call CUCUMBER MONTH. If you haven’t heard, my teeny cucumber plant has taken over a third of my garden bed, and has since produced over 25 cucumbers…as of today. Today, I found one that was MASSIVE under a couple of leaves. I’ve been documenting some of my harvests on Instagram, so you can see here and here what this monster has become. No need to #shoplocal when you can #eatlocal out of your own backyard! I’ve got lots of cucumber deliciousness coming your way, so get ready!
