Once they start to sprout, I may have to be more diligent about keeping her away from them. You know how cats can be with eating greenery.

I was half-expecting to see a picture of your Mi-Sook stretched out across your baby peppers! You have a cute kitty.

Hi Tammy, great explanation though I should correct one part. By definition, any clay that has been changed by heat is considered ceramic. The distinction you are looking for is between stoneware (European crocks) and earthenware (Onggi).

Korean sesame salt is a great way to make a dish authentic Korean. I add a little sugar in mine to make it kind of sweet and salty.

I've bookmarked this particular cake recipe for some time now intending to test it someday, but I've never quite got around doing so since I tend to mess up cakes from scratch. After some hesitation, I decided to bake this cake yesterday for my Korean grandmother's 81st birthday. The cake came out deliciously buttery and the whipped cream topping was just perfectly sweet.

One of the best guides to Korean food and wine pairings is Joshua Hall. You can find him at http://www.winekorea.asia/ I have to put in a small disclaimer b/c I have written a couple of posts for him in the past but he's the one I go to w/ questions about Korean food/wine pairings all the time.
He recommends Riesling to pair up with fried banchan such as pajeon.
He found that

2012-01-07T08:29:18.801-08:00

That is very interesting Tam.
I'm having trouble imagining the pairings.
I'm thinking banchan with Sauvignon Blanc, Black Pork with Pinot Noir, and Galbi with Zin??

The first photo is amazing--and sure French toast can be dessert. It's more or less the base for bread pudding--yum!

Kristen, me, too. That's why I can't this dish too often, unless I'm making it for a potluck to share. :)
