My parents came from LA to visit us this weekend. I bought a new freezer in anticipation of their visit – my mom brought 2 coolers full of food and now my refrigerator and freezer is filled to the brim.
Mi mama brought – jumbo size tapatio, galbi, dweji galbi, chadolbehgee, shabu shabu, ros goo-ee, geem, saewoo jut, dried myulchi, gochugaru, banchans: moomallengee – ggen eep - dorajee, seng golbengee, all homemade: kimchi - chonggak kimchi - mool kimchi - boochu kimchi, dried miyuk, and fresh ggeneep from our backyard. She even sauteed servings of miyuk with seasonings and meat so all I have to do is add water for instant gook, and freezed junbok (albalone) jook so all I have to do is add water to that too.
It might be said that mi mama is tre cool.

Anyway, I love love love seng golbengee (raw bai top shell), but it’s not available at the Han Ah Reum in Manhattan. So good with tabasco and a beer. Had some last night.
Can you eat seng golbengee?

my mom packed me kimchi, and i brought it on the plane and stuffed it in the overhead compartment, and though it didn’t break, the smell did permeate INTO everything in that compartment. this lady stuffed her jacket next to my bag of food, and she started sniffing her jacket like….what the heck is htat smell?
i jetted out of there as fast as i could -hehe
snails are a lil too much for me.

TRY THE GOLBENGI WITH TABASCO MIXED WITH MAYONAISE. I know it sounds gross, but it’s really really good.

oh man… your mom is the bomb! sounds like all she carried on the plane with her is food! forget her personal belongings~ who needs them right?
Tabasco and Beer is a dangerous mix…!!!
han ah reum is weak. it’s so sad.
Sounds like your mom is “Tres Cool” alright. My MIL brings us dorajee (among other things) every time she visits Chicago or Korea. She brought me the coolest butcher knife once. Now, I don’t use anything else. Now I just have to see if I can master the dorajee kimchee. MIL doesn’t make it the same as the cabbage, but it’s favorite kind of kimchee.
