It was like two glasses of wine which normally wouldn’t make me ill or feel awful. It gave me THE WORST HANGOVER the next morning (and noooo I didn’t finish the entire bottle). I tried that wine the same night at home. And I had NO CLUE that she truly thinks she’s so thoughtful. Literally just staring at each other scratching our butts. We just stood there, in hallway, in dark, blinking at each other. Solar guys gave me this so here you go” (hands bottle back to me) ME: ” Did you just give me… DONKEY WINE ” Sis: ” Lemme see (I hand the bottle back to her) ” It just made me stare at her like she was a little squirrel that I wanted to hug and hold. I quietly sighed and smiled at the thought of my little sister buying ME a bottle of nice wine. I felt the stress of the night fall off my shoulders. Me: ” Don’t you usually save it for your husband “ Sis : ” I have a bottle of wine for you “ I sighed and walked back (because she walks SO slow). But one night, as I was walking towards the garage, I hear her call my name from the hallway. That’s the extent of our sisterly affection and gratitude towards each other. Usually, she’ll nonchalantly waive good bye to me and murmur a ‘thanks dude’. I’m tired at that point and just want to drive home. I’m always available these days because I have no life. I usually try to help her a few nights out of the week when I’m available (for her and the kids). Anyone thinking of the Valentine chocolates right now □ Dumb stupid sister… Like I TRULY believe she thinks she’s doing *ME* a favor when she pulls these stunts. Sometimes I don’t think she means to be mean. This one will involve one of the most ridiculous (and meanest) person I know. I feel like I haven’t shared any ridiculous stories lately. Paris Baguette Cafe (located inside H Mart) I would try to write a bit more but I’m pretty sure I’m melting away as I write this post. So much beautiful pink and red colors huh. I didn’t realize strawberries were in season until I visited Paris last weekend. I was disappointed the chocolate Midi wasn’t on sale but strawberry is still a yummy Pocky. I bought these for the nephews because 1) they’re spoiled 2) they LOVE Pocky and 3) these were on sale. Why you gotta make it so graphic looking □ BUT, I’ll be dayummed if I’ve EVER seen pigs feet like THIS □ I’ve seen and eaten pigs feet since I was a little girl. So close your eyes…RIGHT NOW…and look away if you must: But like a scary movie (hello Silence of the Lambs), I couldn’t turn away and had to take a pic for everyone. Ok, the next find is NOT for the faint of hearts. There was a firm smell of fish but it wasn’t a drop-the-box-and-run-for-your-life kinda smell. I tried to take a whiff (ahem, for the sake of this post…not because of my sniffing OCD). I believe this particular type of sashimi, found in Korea, is super toxic smelling. It was in a small wooden/bamboo tray and heavily saran wrapped. It was in the sushi/sashimi section in the back. I mean, dang, this guy will drink warm blood slit from a live donkey for crying out loud. I had seen it on Bizarre Foods and even Andrew Zimmern had a hard time eating this item. The next finding (which I didn’t purchase) was a huge SHOCK for me. I enjoyed the salmon and it went well with a Japanese salad I prepared the other day.Īlright. So look for that if you’re trying to save a little bit. Also, please note that the UNSLICED option is about $2 cheaper than the SLICED version. I’m sorry but I don’t remember the price per pound (maybe $17.99/lb?) on the salmon. The beef didn’t blow me away but it still tasted alright. I panned fried the slices in olive oil (that’s all I had oil-wise) and then finished it with a Korean galbi glaze I had in fridge. So this “Kobe Beef” selection looked appealing because of the fat marbling. They were out of pork jowels on my last visit (boo because I was craving the jowels BIG TIME). I don’t really have a recipe for pork jowels so if anyone out there can suggest one, please let me know (I don’t have bbq, cast iron pan…I’d use my trusty beat-up George Foreman but the slices are too thin for the GF). Tell me that’s not a beautiful cut of meat. I like jowel meat because of the fat that marbles into every single crevice of the cheek meat. I think this is about $26.99/lb? It’s not too bad but definitely not the melt-in-your-mouth that you are SO hoping for. But wanted to share a few things I’ve purchased (or seen recently): It’s still a cool market (actually they have A/C…crap, maybe I should have done lunch there today) – I think I meant ‘cool’ as a complimentary adjective and not as a temperature adjective. I can’t even cuss right because I’m that miserable from the heat. I honestly should have separated out these topics into multiple posts but hey, I’m tired and it’s hot as all frekkkkk today.
