My son came home for the weekend - a Fall Break for four nights over the Columbus Day Weekend. When the kid calls unexpectedly a week before the break, and says he wants to come home, you spend $400 and put him on the next available flight.
At least, that's what we did.
And like any college kid, he wanted home cooked meals, every day. We didn't go out for one meal and I was enslaved to the kitchen duty all weekend long. And happily, I might add.
Didn't you notice the silence on the web this weekend?
Anyway, I made all his favorite dishes. You can take a boy out of NY but can't take NY out of the boy. All his favorites were home cooked Korean meals, what else?
And just in case, like my son, you love Korean food and wanted to try making some of my tried and true Korean dishes from the blog, I thought I'd list them here. I'll update the list as more recipes get added.

Funny enough, we had some for dinner last night. I wanted chicken soup but wasn't up to "the task" if you know what I mean, so I substitued the chicken mushrooms. Delicious. I'm having leftovers right now and hoping it helps chase this dern 4-week-long cold away.
