Kimchi Mamas

Crimes of Kimchi

My husband arrived home today bearing a rectangular box wrapped in two shopping bags. It transpired that his co-worker John* had a layover at the Incheon airport on the way from Hong Kong, and impulsively bought us a gift. I smelled it before I saw it.

A kimchi gift set.

I'm not exactly sure how long it takes to fly from Incheon to L.A., but by the time the kimchi arrived at our house, the plastic packaging was bulging alarmingly. At least it didn't explode.

My husband ate the kimchi with chicken pot pie.

Pen, the mighty pen

First of all, just because Jae Ran won't do it herself, I am going to brag here about this Kimchi Mama's latest accomplishments:

Not only was she accepted into a PhD program, she was offered a fantastic job opportunity in her field.

She briefly mentions it (with links) in a post on her own blog.  CONGRATULATIONS, Jae Ran!

I am so proud of this Kimchi Mama... you'd think I had gotten a new job and will be a PhD candidate myself!
