A Handmade Wreath

As much as I consider myself a crafty person, the last few Christmases due to time constraints, I have found myself buying the typical store wreath. It is always nice, for sure, and of course smells good, but there's nothing like making something yourself. I'm just a few days in with my new handmade coffee filter wreath (thanks Abby for the inspiration), but I can validate how happy I am to come home every day and see this puffy, fluffy, white, elegant albeit inexpensive wreath. It seriously puts the biggest smile on my face :) If you're ready to get your craft on, follow these easy directions to make one yourself.

Materials (crafts from Michaels, JoAnns, Hobby Lobby and coffee filters from a grocery store)
    Small circle - $2.99 (with 40% coupon)
    Coffee Filters (100) - $.79
    Ribbon - $3.50 (in-store sale)
    Total $7.28

If you don't already have these, you'll need:
    Mini glue gun & sticks - approx $5





1. Crumple up one coffee filter. Make sure the tops are even.

2. Glue a good-sized dot on the outside of your circle

3. Press the bottom of the crumpled filter on top of the glue dot. Be sure to put pressure on for 10-20 seconds. Also be careful that you don't burn yourself, too much; unfortunately I couldn't seem to avoid this once in a while.

 4. After gluing coffee filters around the outside. Glue two more layers until the wreath is finished (the picture shows only two layers). Be sure to leave a one inch space in the same place in each layer; this is where the ribbon will go.

5. Affix to your door. Enjoy! Handmade Happy Holidays!



Extra tips:
- Do buy the smallest circle. Remember the wreath will grow 4-6 inches beyond the circle.
- I made this with the flat styrofoam circle (shown above) as well as with a green circle usually bought in the floral department. Works the same, still 3 layers.
- Pop in a movie and settle in for a little while. While easy in steps, it is something that takes time to make.

The Flying Trapeze

So for those of you who do not already know, I decided to run off and join the circus. For the night, that is :) With my LivingSocial deal in hand, my good pal "C" and I ventured to the Trapeze School New York (TSNY) in Chicago for a fun night of "Trapeze Flying + Dinner + Drinks". Yes, in that order, not the reverse!

The evening began with a few simple aerial silks exercises. This consisted of nothing complicated. Then we proceeded to partner balancing exercises which were fun, and required good balance & trust.

Eventually the thrilling part came - trapeze flying! Come on, admit it, you have always been fascinated by the thought of flying through the air too. But nonetheless, a whole host of worries entered my head. Will I be able to hold onto the bar? Am I strong enough? (Perhaps I should have kept doing that weight training). Am I flexible enough to get my legs up on the bar? (I haven't done that since elementary school on the monkey bars!) The head guy, Steve, gave several directions for the flying trapeze in rapid-fire succession. Will I remember what I'm supposed to do? Oh yeah, he said that he'd call out the instructions and all I have to do is listen and follow. "Ready...hep" (signals to get ready and then jump) and I flew through the air like a bird, so free and weightless. And really, it was just that easy. I got to try the trapeze three times and on the third time I did an arm catch! See the video below! :) So fun and easier than I anticipated. Honestly, the scariest part was climbing the ladder up to the 23 foot platform.

If you're looking for a little adventure in your life and something unique to do in Chicago - whether a resident, suburbanite or visitor, check out the Flying Trapeze website or LivingSocial deal going on right now (see links below). The LivingSocial deal makes for a great, full night because you go to Broadway Cellars restaurant across the street afterwards for dinner and a drink. Additionally, if you happen to like it, the Flying Trapeze school has several classes so you can keep learning more. They offered the third class free, if you signed up for a second class. The school also teaches aerial silks, trampoline, acrobatics, etc.

In the wintertime, the school is at Broadway Armory Park in Edgewater, and in the summertime, you can do it outside at Belmont Harbor!

All shapes, sizes and athletic ability were clearly welcome. I watched a 60 year old man do this! So ....when are you going to put some thrill in your week and join the circus...for the day/night?

Chef Andrew!

What do you get for your best friend's wedding? You want the gift to be thoughtful, memorable and special, right? 

For a couple that already has their home fully stocked, another knife or household gadget doesn't seem appropriate. When my husband's best college friend got married, these were the thoughts that flooded our heads. We wrestled with different ideas for such a LONG time, unfortunately, our gift was given well after the wedding (I dare say well over the acceptable amount of time), but judging from our friends' reactions, I think the wait was worth it. 

We settled on an in-home private chef experience where you can interact with the chef, find out how he makes the food, watch him make it, ask questions, etc. It's interactive, it's personal, it's a shared experience, you don't have to shop, prep or clean up - it's brilliant! 

I still didn't pull the plug though. I got cold feet (I'm not even the bride!) after reading 5 star after 5 star review of Chicago in-home chefs. How could every chef be so amazing? I started questioning the reviewers' taste palates. Then some friends (thanks VanWagners) raved about their recent private chef dinner which led me to Chef Andrew of the Crying Onion. 

Chef Andrew helped us create a Bordeaux-inspired, 5-course meal plus starter to imbibe our friends' annual trip to Bordeaux, France. The event was all a big surprise. The bride's sister slyly investigated our friends' favorite Bordeaux meals to help with the menu planning; I spent some time looking up Bordeaux menus online. On the big night, our friends thought we were taking them out, but we arrived with the menu chalkboard in hand (first picture of the post) and Chef Andrew in tow. 

Charcuterie & Fromage Plates

We began with cheese and charcuterie platters. Two of the charcuterie Chef Andrew made himself - a smoked duck and cajun-spiced pork shoulder. He explained how each took several days to make which was fascinating. I think I sense a winter project!

Wild Mushroom Soup

The first course was a wild mushroom soup with a little truffle oil, cream and garnish on top. This was absolutely delicious and beyond my expectation! The flavors all melded together beautifully and the texture was perfection. My husband deemed it the best course of the whole dinner. 

Beet, Arugula, Parmesan Salad with Fried Shallots and Citrus Vinaigrette

The second course was a beet, arugula and parmesan salad. The citrus vinaigrette was bright and really woke up the salad. The fried shallots (in the foreground) were such a surprise and a nice accompaniment.

Duck Confit on a Puff Pastry topped with Fried Oregano Sprig with Haricots Verts in a Pomegranate Reduction Sauce 

The third course consisted of duck confit with green beans and a pomegranate sauce. The twist here is that Chef Andrew put the duck on a puff pastry and topped it all with a fried oregano sprig. The pomegranate sauce, he explained, was reduced down from a simple bottle of sparkling pomegranate juice.

Petite Filet with Duck Fat Fries

The sensational meal continued with the fourth course of a filet mignon, duck fat fries and compound butter. The steak was succulent, tender and perfectly cooked. The compound butter melted over the top was to die for. It had so much flavor! Chef Andrew explained how easy it is to make. Check out this recipe or Alton Brown's recipe. The duck fat fries were pretty scrumptious too. When it comes to eating, all I need to hear is "duck fat", you can stop there, I'm in. Fyi: you can usually buy rendered duck fat at your local butcher should you want to make them at home.

Chocolate Souffle with Creme Anglaise and Mixed Berries

Not to be outdone, Chef Andrew topped off the meal with a chocolate souffle with creme anglaise and fresh berries. Oh heaven! Had I not been so full, I would have gone back for seconds and thirds of this. The chocolate souffle was light, airy and delectable (another definite thing to make on my winter to-do list). Chef Andrew mentioned he hadn't made chocolate souffle in a long time, but no one would have been the wiser. Also, we could not get over the deliciousness of the creme anglaise; sans guilt, a few of us put our spoons directly into the container just to eat that over and over again.

At this point, we all headed into the kitchen to wash the dishes and clean the stovetop. Just kidding! Chef Andrew did all that too! So we continued our lovely evening with some more of our 1988 Chateau Leoville Las Cases Bordeaux wine. 

There are so many reasons to hire Chef Andrew. He is professional, amiable, easy to work with, creative, reasonably-priced...oh yeah...and he makes amazing food! The list goes on. Now I understand why he has a 5 star rating on Yelp. So if you're looking to give a special, experiential kind of gift for a birthday, anniversary, or wedding or need a caterer for a party or want to have a dinner party with friends without all the work, look no further than the Crying Onion. And if you don't live in the Chicagoland area, look up a private chef in your city :) It is a delightful experience!

Door County

Sunrise as viewed from our room at Gordon Lodge in Bailey's Harbor

I've been going to Door County since childhood. We used to visit family friends in Sister Bay and nothing was more fun (and still is) than to see the goats grazing on the grass-thatched roof of Al Johnson's restaurant and to eat some Swedish crepes with lingonberries inside. I took my husband to Door County this past Spring for his first time, and this Fall as we made our way back up, the first thing he mentioned was the goats. See! They (the goats) captivate both the young and the old.

It takes exactly four hours to get to Renard's Cheese which feels like the gateway to the Door County Peninsula and all its bays and charming small towns. Renard's just built a new store next to their old one which includes a cheese tasting (yum!) and little cafe. Let's talk cheese! I cannot contain my joy for REAL string cheese. I detest that so-called string cheese in stores that doesn't really "string" so you eat it in chunks...bleh. This stuff is sweet, salty and strings! They also have cheese curds which is another of my cheese favorites. They are fresh when they make a squeaky noise as they rub against your teeth as you eat them. If you ever find them refrigerated, let them get to room temperature and this will wake them up to squeaky status. And then any proper Wisconsinite knows that you leave cheese curds out on the counter for a couple days. Yes, I mean no refrigeration.

The next stop was Schartner's. This is a farm stand that sells an array of farm fresh vegetables and fruit, canned jams & fruit fillings, and my weakness - homemade pies.

We couldn't pass up this "pee wee" apple pie. It was the perfect snack size and so irresistible that the moment we got into the car, we eagerly dug in with our plastic fork and a knife.

Egg Harbor was our next major stop after passing Sturgeon Bay. It is home to a plethora of shops. A decade ago, I used to frequent The Patricia Shoppe every time I was in Door County. I admired the shop owner who was in her mid-twenties, at the time, and making her dream come true. I also enjoyed her youthful, tasteful point of view. So many shops in Door County are kitschy and slightly skewed toward an older demographic, but here was a boutique that catered to me. A decade later, it is still charming and full of jewelry, accessories, handbags and now clothing. It was the end of the season, the last weekend in October, so I happily came away with a cute new pair of discounted boots and continued to live up to my husband's observed theory that for women, there seems to be a boot for every occasion :)

*Patricia Shoppe has a sister shop in Whitefish Bay, a suburb directly just north of Milwaukee. I recently discovered it is owned and operated by a former high school classmate of mine! :)

My dessert life is really not complete without some Wisconsin frozen custard. For those who know me, it makes me positively giddy! If you've never had it, frozen custard is smoother in texture than ice cream, hence less ice; thicker and creamier than soft-serve;  tastier than its counterparts; divine. Not Licked Yet in Fish Creek makes a beyond delicious, premium frozen custard in my opinion. In the picture above, that is a single cone! It intrigued me to see how'd they get a double on that same cone - that curiosity to be sated next visit. (In Chicago, I get my frozen custard fix at Scooter's Frozen Custard on Belmont and Paulina. It's open seasonally so get your fix before November 30, 2012 otherwise you'll have to wait until March 2013.)  

You've probably had cider beer before, but have you ever tried hard cider? Island Orchard Cider in Ellison Bay was such a treat. All their apples are grown and sourced locally from Washington Island or on the peninsula. The tasting is comprised of 4-5 versions of hard cider; a few have extra flavor profiles such as cherry and peach. This hard cider is likened to champagne - dry, bright and slightly effervescent. Very good and different - I think it would be even better paired with food. We came away with one bottle for $12. Additionally, you can re-use the bottle as a water bottle, as it has an old-fashioned pop-off top which I love.

Walking along Gordon Lodge's waterfront

We ended our wonderful one-night trip at  Gordon Lodge in Bailey's Harbor which is on the east side of the peninsula. It's less-populated over here and so calm, serene, and idyllic. There is a main lodge, along with many cottages for bigger families. They have a pool, tennis courts, trails, and bikes; at no charge, they provide rackets and bikes. We had a nice dinner at their restaurant Top Deck which had a lovely view of the lake as the sun set. While the true sunset is on the other side of the peninsula, the sky still changes colors and is a beautiful sight. And did you see the lovely sunrise that greeted me the next morning? (Check out the picture at the top of this post). Ordinarily I'm not an oceanview, lakeview, scenic room view kind of traveler, but on this occasion, I kind of yearned for it, got it and thoroughly enjoyed it! I literally watched the sky change for an entire hour from my bed. And there's more! Breakfast, included in the price of our stay, was delightful and featured a regular buffet in addition to made-to-order blueberry pancakes and eggs/omelettes. This made my husband - a true buffet hater - very content. We stayed here at the recommendation of some friends (thanks VanWagners!) who equated it to a modern-day version of the Dirty Dancing lodge. Minus Patrick Swayze, so true! We didn't really want to leave - a sign of a great place.

While the season is ending (many places were shuttering down this last weekend in October), I hope I have enticed you to make the 4+ hour drive (from Chicago) to this great weekend getaway next spring/summer/fall :) There is something for everyone - singles, couples, families, and retirees. You will not be disappointed.

Fall Creations

Chicago's summer is so short-lived and while I'm so sad to see it go, there is something completely inspiring and delicious about a new season. This Fall, I find myself wanting to create and make things. Here are three very simple ways to embrace the season through decorating, corresponding and eating!

This year, I thought I would jazz up my fall decorating a little bit from the usual dumping of gourds into a bowl. I visited my local farmers' markets (Green City Market and Lincoln Park) - one of my favorite things to do on a Saturday morning - to find some gourds and a nice bunch flowers.  I also walked to both thereby getting a little exercise and enjoying the pleasant weather while it lasts. Directions: First, make sure you pick gourds that can stand upright. Next, cut off the tops with a serrated bread knife. Then, scoop out the seeds with a small spoon. Finally, add a little water and some small flowers. This table arrangement seriously makes me smile every time I enter the room. I hope it brings you some of the same joy!

Making Halloween cards for friends, nieces, nephews, godchildren, or as seasonal birthday or thank you cards, is SPOOKTACULAR! I err on the side of simplicity, in design and tools. To make this boo-tiful card, you will need only these 3 things.

1. Notecards and envelopes (Paper Source for a variety of colors or Joann Fabrics, Michael's or Hobby Lobby for white sets)  
2. Glue pen
3. Glitter

Directions: Use the glue pen to write text (go over your work twice), dust the glitter on top, and tap or blow off the excess glitter. Notes: the glue pen will go on blue by dry clear. Put a creased piece of paper underneath the card to collect the excess glitter, then use the crease to let the glitter slide back into the container. By the way, I am totally digging this glue pen, and I think you will too!

For this batty card, you only need these three things: 1. Notecards and envelopes (Paper Source for a variety of colors or Joann Fabrics, Michael's or Hobby Lobby for white sets)  2. Halloween stamp  3. Stamp pad

My husband and I were hosting some friends for dinner and needed something carb-free due to some dietary restrictions. Well, since warm, hearty soups are synonymous with cooler weather - at least to me anyways - we steered our menu that way and stumbled upon a great chili recipe on Allrecipes.com.  It was a stovetop recipe that I had a brilliant idea to make into a CROCKPOT recipe! You ask, "Why is this significant?" If you're unsure, that's because you don't own a crockpot. Please let me convince you to get one :) Instead of slaving over the stove for 2 hours stirring in each new ingredient, I did 20 minutes worth of prep work, dumped it all into the crockpot, and five hours later, we had a delicious meal on the table. Oh, and in that 5 hours, I was able to entertain a friend who was in town, read and take a nap! You get now why the crockpot can be a life- and time-saver :)

Before you tackle this recipe and its long list of ingredients, substituting, eliminating and adding is what it's all about. I like spicy foods so I upped the spicy dial. If you don't like spicy, don't use the serrano chiles and buy chili beans that are mild. If you want to add 1/2 cup of beer or 1/2 chicken broth instead of 1/2 cup water, do it! Or if you have cayenne pepper and not paprika, maybe put in two teaspoons of cayenne pepper and no paprika. Or substitute ground turkey for the beef for a healthier version. You are the chef! It's your creation!

This recipe is adapted from Allrecipes.com

• Crockpot Chili (12 servings)
• 
  
• 2 pounds ground beef chuck

• 3 (15 ounce) cans chili beans (regular, mild, medium or spicy - I used 3 medium)

• 1 (15 ounce) can chili beans in spicy sauce

• 2 (28 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice

• 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste

• 1 large yellow onion, chopped

• 3 stalks celery, chopped

• 2 serrano peppers, seeded and chopped

• 4 cubes beef bouillon

• 1/2 cup water

• 1/4 cup chili powder

• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

• 1 tablespoon minced garlic or garlic powder

• 1 tablespoon dried oregano

• 2 teaspoons ground cumin

• 2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce (e.g. Tabasco™)

• 1 teaspoon dried basil

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• 1 teaspoon white sugar

• 
  

Directions

1. Heat a large pan on the stove and cook the ground beef until it's in brown crumbles. Drain leftover grease. Multi-task and while this is cooking, dice and chop the onion, celery and serrano peppers. 
2. Pour the cooked ground beef into the crockpot. Add in all 4 cans of the chili beans, diced tomatoes and tomato paste (for ease, don't drain). Also add the onion, celery and serrano peppers. Next add in the bouillon cubes and water. Spice up the mixture with chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, dried oregano, ground cumin, hot pepper sauce, dried basil, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, and sugar. 
3. Stir to blend and set crockpot on high for 4-5 hours, or on low for 8+ hours if you're working all day. If you like, after 2 hours, taste, and adjust salt, pepper, and chili powder if necessary. Serve immediately or bring to room temperature and refrigerate or freeze.

Pan Con Tomate

Simple, quality ingredients are the hallmarks of a lot of European cooking, in my opinion. I spent some time in Spain this past summer and thoroughly enjoyed the popular dish pan con tomate. It has a whopping 4 ingredients! It is easy to make and even easier to eat.

Four ingredients. It all starts with the bread. Buy an artisan bread at your local bakery or grocery store's bakery; mine is the Italian bread from Whole Foods. I like fresh vine-ripened tomatoes (do not refrigerate).  You also need Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO). Finally, I splurged and bought the real deal sea salt which makes a huge difference in texture and especially flavor but of course you can use plain sea salt too.

 Cut the bread into thick 1 inch slices.

 If you're making a lot for several people, broil the bread until golden brown. (Rotate the pan if you want them evenly cooked and keep an eye on them as the difference between golden brown and burnt is slim). For a short cut, if you're making just few pieces for yourself, I cut the larger pieces of bread in half and use my toaster :)

 Cut a tomato in half and squeeze the insides onto the bread.

Drizzle olive oil in a zig zag over the bread.

Top with sea salt.

With so few ingredients you will taste and savor all the flavors. Good food can be simple and scrumptious at the same time! Enjoy as an appetizer, snack or along with a salad.

Note: Many online recipes call for a clove of garlic to be rubbed on the bread, but I watched this being made and ate it several times throughout northern Spain and they did not use garlic. Use the garlic if you want an extra layer of flavor, but I honestly don't think it needs it. This is coming from a girl that loves garlic :)

Crafty Quotes

I adore gifts from the heart, in any form, whether giving or receiving them. I particularly enjoy the process of making and giving them, and I do get a bit giddy when I come across a unique handmade project such as this quote scarf on Pinterest 8 months ago. Yes, from inspiration to fruition, it took me 8 months :( Admit it, y'all, you pin all day long too but then don't execute on those amazing-looking recipes, crafts or home designs. Had I known somewhere in the past 8 months that this lovely scarf would only take 30 minutes to make, sigh, I may have tackled it sooner. However had I done so, I wouldn't have this post to share :) It's true. All things happen for a reason.

Flashback eight months ago, I saw this scarf and immediately thought of my good friend Elizabeth. She not only likes scarves, but she is a lover of literature and quotes. Jane Austen came immediately to mind and her husband confirmed what I already knew to be true. So I ventured forth with the first line from the greatest love story of all time (in my opinion) Pride and Prejudice, "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of good fortune, must be in want of a wife." 

 

So if I haven't lost you yet, which means you are probably thinking of someone special you could do this for and you are also reassessing your craftiness skill level (really this is easy), here's how I prepared to make the scarf. I went to my favorite online friend, amazon.com, to purchase the viscose scarf (~$7-14) and a set of fabric markers (~$13). 

I grabbed a cardboard box from my storage locker, cut it open and also cut off one side of the flaps. The cardboard will help absorb the ink from the marker as it seeps through the scarf. The clips help keep the scarf somewhat in place as you write. I practiced using the marker on an old t-shirt to get an idea of the pressure and how much ink comes out. I decided on a medium pressure which gave variation to the writing between solid black ink and faded black ink. Once done, I let it dry for a few hours, peeled it off the cardboard, and ironed the script to make it permanent. And voila! 

I was happy with the outcome but all the more pleased that my friend adored it. When her face lit up as she recognized the quote from only the first 4 words, my heart sang and quickly the guilt from needing 8 months to make this gift was wiped away. Handmade gifts equal exquisite happiness for both the giver and receiver! 

Next up...because with any project I always learn and retool for the following opportunity... I'm going to try thinner markers and two-tone writing (as seen in the inspiration scarf at the top of the post). 

Happy crafting and remember you only need 30 minutes, not 8 months, to make this lovely scarf!

Asian Fusion Food

Old "Footloose" with Kevin Bacon or reinvented "Footloose" with Julianne Hough? Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide" or the Dixie Chick's "Landslide"? "The Lord of the Rings" books or movies? Authentic Korean BBQ or fusion Korean tacos?

I'm sure you have some definitive opinions on the first few comparisons (feel free to share in the comments section below!). And as much as I love an old classic... and I usually choose the classic...I am newly enamored with the modern twist being executed on Korean food. Today, I'm taking you to La Tacorea in Lakeview, Del Seoul in Lincoln Park, and Belly Shack  in Bucktown/Logan Square. If you like Korean food, you're in for a treat. If you've never had Korean food before, you're in for a bigger treat because you've been missing out, my friend.

Korean BBQ Beef at Belly Shack 

Generally speaking, if you like beef or steak, you will like Korean. And since we all live in the Midwest, it's safe to say that you do. Put aside your fears about this lesser known asian cuisine and get thyself to Belly Shack, which is located underneath the Western Blue line el stop. This fast casual restaurant is a fusion of mainly Korean and Puerto Rican cuisines. The Korean BBQ Beef is the ticket though. You stuff the flat bread with the succulent, marinated beef and top it with traditional kimchi. The flavors are intensely satisfying. The rest of the menu is incredibly interesting and fusion-oriented so bring some friends and make your taste buds dance! BTW BYOB!

Sesame Chili Shrimp Taco at Del Seoul

If you don't think you're ready for the real kimchi at Bellyshack, then dip your toe (ahem, not literally, gross!) into Del Seoul on Clark Street, just south of Diversey. Here you will find delicious asian proteins (Kalbi, Spicy BBQ Pork, Sesame Chili Shrimp) combined with a secret slaw. As an aside, if anyone comes away with this recipe, please share with me asap! The Sesame Chili Shrimp Taco is their bestseller, however I daydream about the Kalbi Taco (grilled beef short rib, tastes like steak) to the point that I've had a weekly date with myself here for the past 3 weeks. If you're looking to up your flavor profile, add the Seasoned Gamja Fries, or for a lot of adventure, go bold with the Kimchi Fries.

Spicy Sweet BBQ Pork Burrito at La Tacorea

La Tacorea in Lakeview is like the Asian Chipotle. You choose a taco or burrito and top it with your preference of white rice, protein, lettuce, diced red onions, cilantro, grilled peppers & onions, sweet sauce and/or spicy sauce. The owner convinced me to try the Spicy Sweet BBQ Pork Burrito which I requested to be mounded with all the fixins. Seriously, do not pass on the sauces! The yellow bottle is a MUST - sweet & mildly spicy. I think the red bottle is a spicy sauce but seemed only medium to me. This burrito did not disappoint, and I would have it again in an instant. My companions, two of which were elementary kids, loved on the Kalbi Tacos so much that it elicited a happy food dance from one...high praise coming from a 6 year old.

So the next time you're about to grab fast casual, check out these cool asian flavor profiles instead.

By the way, unequivocally Kevin Bacon "Footloose"and Fleetwood Mac "Landslide." However, I concede equal appreciation for the masterpieces that are "The Lord of the Rings" books and movies; J.R.R. Tolkien and Peter Jackson are geniuses in their own right. It's a toss up for old and new Korean as well. Let's be honest. I plain enjoy good food - therefore all its iterations.
