My number one search for the last two weeks with 1526 page views has been a post that I wrote about 2 years ago: My Ode to Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. It's been jumping all over the Internet and I just got an offer from a rival candy company to write an ode about their candy bar. I'm thinking about it. Hahaha. Anyway, here is a repost of the Ode for your enjoyment. Cheers, Dan Ode to Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Oh, disk of crimped delight- a UFO to my heart. Abduct my sense of control; I want you inside me. There you all dressed all coquettish in your pleated school girl uniform. I pull the skirt down a bit to reveal your smooth finery. Reese's Enjoyment The first bite is like Bacchus's first sip of wine; I won't stop until I have all of you. The chocolate has a bite that gives way to the crumbly salty peanut filling that sends three taste buds asunder. Oh bliss to be. Oh, bliss to be: Salty, Sweet, and Savory. Tart, Bitter, and Spicy are...

This is a question I often get from readers and I wanted to repost it.  It's best to find a local butcher. You'll find them around in each neighborhood, but it really depends on the kind of meat that you would want and the cut. You would go to the chicken guy to get chicken. Most of the fish you can get fairly fresh at a market or you can go to noryrangjin: the fish market. For pork and beef, you'll find a separate shop and it's just important you know what cut you are looking for. Here's a list of cuts of beef and they are applicable to pork as well. 갈비 Short Rib/Plate 갈비본살 Boneless Chuck Short Rib 갈비심 Rib Eye Roll 곱창 Small Intestine 긴 혀 Tongue Long Cut 꼬리 Ox Tail 꾸리살(전각살) Chuck Tender 대창 Large Intestine 도가니 Leg Cartiledge 뒷사태 Hind Shank 등갈비 Back Rib 목갈비 Chuck Short Rib 목심 Chuck Roll 보섭살 Rump Round 볼살 Cheek Meat 부채살(서대살) Top Blade(Flat Iron) 뼈사태 Bone-in Shin Shank 사분도체 Quarter 사태 Shin Shank 살치살 Chuck Flap 설깃 Outside Round 설도상 Top Sirloin Butt 설도하(도가니살) Knuckle 소...

Go Phillies! AGAIN! Here is post I wrote a couple years ago, but I found many people were searching for it because it is almost halloween and because the Phillies are in contention to be the world champions. GO PHILLIES. WIN IT ALL Dan Oh, my god, I can't believe it! The Phillies, the team that I grew up Loving/hating is in the world series. I grew up in Delaware and these guys sucked for so many years, but I still had the hat and gear. Oh, and I got tons of autographs from car dealerships because my Dad thought it was the All-American thing to do. I do miss Mike Schmidt. He was my hero growing up and he was the only one on the team that could actually play. The next iteration of champions came during the Lenny Dykstra, John Kruk era- or what I would like to call the "Beer Belly Era." This was when my sister Jill was in love with the Phillies (guys, she is beautiful, but she likes Truck Drivers and Wrestler Type Guys((Love you, sis)). Anyway, Go Phillies! Win it ...
