Everything You’ve Ever Wanted to Eat But Were Afraid to Cook

Maangchi's Real Korean Cooking: Authentic Dishes for the Home Cook by Maangchi

February 20, 2019 by Danar the Barbarian 4 Comments

Preface:  I’m a white lady.  I was introduced to Korean food when I was 18, and fell instantly in love. I’ve been cooking Korean food for 25 years, and not to brag, but my Korean husband, his family, and friends tell me I’m pretty dang good.  Most of it I’ve learned from watching people cook, or reverse engineering what I’ve eaten. But when I get stuck trying to figure something out, or I want the authoritative recipe on something I’ve never made before, I go to Maangchi.

Things That Go Bump in the Night (in German)

You Should Have Left by Daniel Kehlman

January 4, 2019 by Danar the Barbarian 3 Comments

Hey everyone, it’s my first review for my first Cannonball Run!  Please forgive me if this is a bit rough. I picked up a copy of You Should Have Left by Daniel Kehlman at the library.  It’s a tiny volume, just over a hundred pages long.  The cover notes that it is “translated from the German”.  I am always a bit torn reading books translated from another language – it makes me wonder what I am missing, and if I’m really getting what the author put […]
