Let the Journey Begin: San Francisco to Doha, Qatar! Happy 10-year wedding anniversary to us! Emily and I like to go big, and a safari-focused trip to Tanzania, Africa with our seven and five-year olds (at the time – eight and six now) was just that. To top the idea of this trip, not only […]

The Story We went to the Inner Sunset farmers market on Sunday, and Bon Kimchi was selling 4 different kinds of kimchi, which is what inspired me to make this dish this week! My family and I used to go to South Korea on the way to and from Japan and the U.S. when I was little. The best […]
