The sandwich would have been great if they made it fresh. The tomato soup was wonderful and I loved the toasted rice bits in it. Not bad. Not Bad.

As a new father with a quickly growing daughter, I had learned to adapt quickly in order to feed my little spawn. She has gone through the milk phase and then just rice phase and now she wants flavor. Well...flavor with some compromises. I have to get nutrients into my little girl while also making food fun. After all, I do have a reputation to uphold.
Feeding a baby is a fun challenge. Of course my little carrot would love to eat ice cream all day. Seriously. She loves soft serve ice cream, it is not very nutritious and I don't want her consuming so much sugar. She would also love strawberries all the time but at 20,000 won per container its not a viable snack.
My little meatball does love tofu but tofu is a tad salty. She also likes eggs, spinach and noodles. Actually, she likes a lot of food but they must be in a fun form factor for her to enjoy them.
Take carrots. She could take them or leave them. I could boil them and mash them but that doesn't do much. I could put them in soup, but she picks them out. Now inside dumplings, she likes them or if I make them into pancakes with a bit of tofu and oil; she'll devour them. Spinach is fine if they are chopped finely or if I get rid of the fibrous stem.
Tomatoes have been a godsend and she'll eat them raw or if I make a tomato and egg drop soup.
Meat is pretty easy. She loves them but they should be made easy to chew. She has teeth but not enough for something chewy. Fork torn chicken works and so does minced beef. I find that making them into a soup works best.
My goal is to have my daughter enjoy the many different flavors of the world while focusing on what is natural. But then again, isn't that how we should all eat?

For the last year I have been involved in a startup called iFood Korea in which I work with my foodie friends. Our goal was to created a curated food community by industry professionals. We have been supporting the chef's community by asking the restaurants they like and then sending our teams to make content about it. I will be sharing some of the content here as well. I hope you will go out and enjoy eating at the different places the chefs recommend.

I kinda blame myself. I didn't rally others to my cause nor use Facebook as my pallet. I just sat back and watched the circus.
Imagine how many billions of dollars of resources and time were wasted on this election? It's all a mess. The system is broken, this guy says he can fix it.
I can only pray for the best.
As an American overseas, I can just live my way as an immigrant and hope the actions of a country across the sea won't harm me.
Let's hope for the best and hope that Mr. Trump can do what is in the best interest of the world.

My favorite apple computer I have ever had was my first. It was a 12inch white iBook. It was small, portable and fast. That was 12 years ago. Since then I have had several apple laptops and imacs. My last apple was a Macbook pro I bought in 2009. I am waiting to upgrade but I don't know which one to get. I am actually interested in getting the last generation Macbook pro or even the last generation Macbook air. I still like the idea of ports.
However, some new research about the new skylake processors may make me go for the new macbooks.
Skylake processors might allow wireless charging. Also I think the extra large trackpad might be there so it can be used with a pencil input.
I had the iPad pro and pencil and I liked the pencil. I didn't like anything else about the tablet but I did like the pencil.
I think Apple is still working on improvements but won't reveal them until they are ready unlike some other companies. I like and respect that about the company.
Now you might be wondering why I don't just get a surface or another computer.
Well, all the Macs I have had have lasted forever. They are reliable and I like the OS and in my line of work it is necessary. My staff has windows units and we lose time and money getting their units fixed.
So...it's time to get a new unit. I will let you know which one I choose soon.
