Tipped off by this post on Sinosoul, I was eager to try the new and confusingly named JTYH. (The seemingly random acronym may be easier to remember if you, like me, just think of it as Just the Young Hos.) I was sad to hear when the original Heavy Noodling on Garvey ws closed, so [...]

The BF made dinner last night.  Sliced tomatoes from an urban farm in Pasadena with a bit of olive oil and salt. Squash and zucchini soup.  I served the soup with some leftover ciabatta I baked yesterday. I’m going to be sad when summer is over and we no longer have delicious fresh tomatoes.

It’s just dduk (Korean for pounded rice-ovals), napa cabbage, seaweed, silken tofu, cremini mushrooms, green onions, carrots, and swirled eggs.

I also baked some focaccia to along with [...]
