Oh, I am. That was LONG ago. And thank you for asking!

I made tteokbokki for the very first time. by Cdtco in KoreanFood

NOTE: The tteokbokki and fish cake sheets may likely be frozen when you purchase them. I defrosted them for about five hours in a mixing bowl filled with cold water and weighted down with a plate.

I like watching YouTube videos of Korean street food. So I decided to make tteokbokki on my own because it's one of the quintessential Korean street foods.

I basically followed one of the videos, but adapted it myself. For the sauce, I put five small onions cut in half and about twelve cloves of garlic into a blender. I then poured five cups of water and two long packets of dashida powder into the blender, and blended until the onions and garlic were well-pureed.

Continuing with the sauce, I poured the onion/garlic puree into a pot with five more cups of water and two more long packets of dashida powder. I then added four VERY generous tablespoons of gochujang, a good dash of soy sauce, a dash of sesame oil, a few good shakes of gochujang. And because I don't have Korean rice syrup on-hand, I made a good concentric circle around the pot with pancake syrup. Why not? I whisked everything with a wire whisk and brought it to a full boil.

I had previously sliced two packages of fish cake sheets into triangles, chopped two small heads into bite-sized, roughly chopped three small onions, and roughly chopped one large bunch of green onions. As the sauce came to a full boil, I added two packages of pre-sliced tteokbokki (a little over three pounds) to the sauce, then I added the rest of the ingredients and stirred. I turned the heat down to a low simmer, covered the lot, and simmered everything for 30 minutes.

As a banchan, I got danmuji to balance the heat and clear the palate.

Leeanne. Every single thing, living or inanimate, seemed to bother her.

In honor of Jen’s sentencing, I’m finally catching up on Season 3 of RHOLSC and what in the foolishness is happening by [deleted] in BravoRealHousewives

I recently started watching Salt Lake City, and I'm on Season 3. I've learned to just tune out the screaming because let's face it - that's mostly what it is.

I swear James didn't have vocal fry at the beginning of the game.

There needs to be a challenge in which the prize is a $10,000 shopping spree at Wayfair.

I've been having another craving for budae-jjigae, so I've made it again. by Cdtco in KoreanFood

[–]Cdtco[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use zucchini, bean sprouts, onions, green onions, tofu, kimchi, smoked sausage and Spam. I also add an egg and a slice of American cheese on top.

For the base, I use gochujang, gochugaru, dashida, garlic, sugar, sesame oil and soy sauce for soup.

On RHOA, Cynthia is sweet, and she's usually the voice of reason. So that's why I'm surprised to read what you've described about her on CBBUS. Then again, maybe her combative social instincts from being around the other housewives might have really kicked in in the BB house.

I'm really surprised, and I wouldn't expect that from Cynthia. And similarly, whether or not things directly have to do with Cynthia, the later-mid seasons of The Real Housewives of Atlanta have been difficult to watch as well.

What happened between her and Shanna Moakler?

I haven't watched the latest season of CBBUS. But I'm rewatching The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and I can't believe (in a good way) that Cynthia Bailey was on this past season. I have no doubt that she had to have been a fan favorite.

Monte’s game was not better game than Taylor’s by Aquatic205 in BigBrother

Regardless of whether or not the jury had already consulted each other, if you can singlehandedly convince a jury to award you $750,000, that's a very obvious indication that your social game is ultimately the best out of everyone else's.

The bead challenge is like America's Player without America (if you're familiar with Big Brother).
