Sad, Sad Day
No, today isn't a sad day. It might turn out to be that, but I don't expect it to. Yesterday I got a sad e-mail. A few "basic" recipes that I was looking for has been lost forever. (O_o) I can get another version of the recipe, but the version that I wanted have been lost forever. (T_T) The person who knew the recipe never taught anyone and that person is no more. I guess this kind of thing happens everyday, everywhere. It's just a sad, sad thing. It hit a little too close to home for comfort. (>_<)

It's almost been a year
Geeesh, it's almost been a year already. Well, getting recipes out of my mom is like getting DNA out of insects trapped in amber. It's not as easy as the movie Jurassic Park
makes it out to be. Also I realized it's going to take a lot of time to "convert" the recipes. My mom doesn't write recipes with precision. It's a little bit of this , handful of that, enough of those, and so on. It's going to take me a lot of time to cook things and measure things out. This is especially true when you consider the fact that I dislike Korean food. (X.x) So, it's going to be a while if ever to get this thing going. (T_T) Wish me luck and don't hold your breath.

My cookbook
I'm writing a trilingual cookbook. I won't write this in three languages, because I don't want to put out the effort. :P It will be a Korean cookbook. It will be in English, Japanese, and Korean.
Well, feel free to try out the recipes when they show up and feel free to comment on them. I would appreciate feedback.
I hope to finish this some time in the future and publish it as a book.
I could use help with Japanese if anyone speaks/writes it. It would be nice if you also know how to cook. ^_^ You might know the cooking lingo.
Can you wait while I write each blog in three languages, or would you rather see whatever I get done as I get it done?
