Domestic Goddess

New movie: A cage of ortolans flutter madly in hostage scene. This takes place in a French restaurant which serve the avian delicacy.

Though I enjoyed seeing the differences of food each 'typical' family would consume, I feel so sad to see the sparse spread of the family featured in Chad.

Randi, I enjoyed seeing the fabulous spread of food. My mouth started drooling when I got to the corn (I'm a corn fanatic). Oops... my bad.

I'm reading too!!! Just haven't replied or commented yet but these asparagus-though-the-grill commentaries are cracking me up. LOL

(Thanks Kouign Aman!) You exchange traditional korean pots for instant gravy mixes for your homesick Ky hubby.

I think this is called boondegi (silkworm larvae). It smelled so bad (for me) and I can tell a pot is cooking about 2 meters away. There are two things I can't bring myself to eat - silkworm larvae (which looks like young Philippine cockroaches -ours grow up to 2 inches in length) and raw crabs in soy sauce or gochujang sauce.

Cheese balls! We found this jar in a local shop and got a great price on it. See we already made a considerable dent in it.

You have a nightmare about having to cross an intersection with downed power lines and then the dream evolves into meeting 3 eGullet members (FatGuy, Annecross and JohnnyD) for some korean BBQ. The nightmare turns into a food dream with you explaining why the restaurant was too small and it would be better to sit outside. I was really dissappointed because I woke up after they served the banchan and I didn't get to taste any of it.

I added a recipe to Recipe Gullet. Feel free to improvise! http://recipes.egullet.org/recipes/r1979.html ← That is so great! Thank you very much Sazji!

Peter, thank you for inviting us into your world. More health and happiness to you and your family. Hope to see you blogging again soon!

Peter - what more can I say? Maraming salamat and may you write until you grow old and your fingers fall off (or which ever comes first).

Very cool report Sazji! I am intrigued with the various dishes you have featured, especially the Analı Kızlı (Mothers and Daughters). I love chickpeas in anything!

Ours would be huge peach statues (that look like giant pink butts) You can see one beside the truck in the middle of the picture. Oh, there are also huge chili peppers statues too but I haven't taken any pics of those yet. Janghowon is renowned for its peaches and chili peppers.

Whole grilled chicken with a beer bottle up its butt. Makes the inside nice and juicy.

It was a one-eyed, one-armed flying purple people eater I thought it was a One Eyed One Horned Flying Purple People Eater ? ← ← Oh, I missed that - it is "One Eyed One Horned Flying Purple People Eater"

It was a one-eyed, one-armed flying purple people eater Love Potion #9! this is all I can do without Googling -- ← You got both of them right FFB!

Cadbury, I'm proud of you. You have found the Way And, for everyone, please stop with the eulogies! We're not dead yet. I still owe you two more meals, some museums, and various ponderous ponitifications (I just have to work around Girls Scouts, the Nationals for swimming, Div2 baseball, and whatever else Yoonhi has the kids signed up in). Cheers, Peter ← Yippee!!! More Peter!!! More witty write-ups and fantastic pics!!! More vermin and Yoonhi!!!!

And then here's more... a. "Eating on a raisin, grape, apricot, pomegranate, bowl of chitterlings, two bananas, three Hershey bars, sipping on a "R C" Co-Cola..." b. "... don't eat me I heard him say in a voice so gruff, " I wouldn't eat you 'cause you're so tough." c. "I brought the fishin' poles the pork and beans the saltine crackers and the canned sardines, and Harold brought all the booze one man could tote." d. "I was standing over there by the tomatoes And here he come Running thru the pole beans, thru the fruits and vegetables Naked as a jay-bird" e. "They eat to grow, grow to die Die to be eaten at the hamburger fry Cows well done" f. "She said, "I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink." It smelled like turpentine and looked like India ink. I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink. " g. "(Twit) I don't like rum... (Captain) You don't like rum? (Twit) Well no, actually...well, I might like a little Perrier (Captain) A little Perrier? (Twit) With a lime in it... (Captain) A lime in it?..... He wants a lime in it.....

HIroyuki - that was fascinating. I'll be watching all these episodes on YouTube (glad it has all the English subtitles). The sushi making episode has made me hungry.

It cooked over the stovetop, over medium to low heat. When the eggs start bubbling, you take it off the stove because the heat in the stoneware pot is enough to cook it all the way. I have gas stove (always had all my life) and have seen almost all korean restaurants cook it this way. Never seen it baked or cooked on an electric stove. No, it wasn't on my adobo. Adobo never has steamed/baked eggs on it. Though Adobo eaten in breakfast with garlic fried rice always has a fried egg on the side.

Your answers are right Kerry but Judiu and LDenney got them first. I missed Judiu's answer awhile back.

Simon and Garfunkle, "Mrs. Robinson" from "The Graduate" ← You got it judiu!

Yes, you must have a stone pot. THe recipe is simple. The ratio to eggs and water is 2:1 (2 parts water to 1 part egg). Plus a little salt. Whisk it all up, cook in a pot and serve hot and bubbling. You may garnish with chopped chives or scallions if you like. I showed this in my food blog.
