Hey everyone! Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. I’ve been under the weather for the past week since coming to California to visit my mom. Luckily, my mom was more than happy to take care of me. 🙂

I will be here for another few days, and I plan to be spoiled rotten by my mom for that duration. So I will be back next week. In the mean time, here are some of the most popular posts on cHow Divine in no particular order. Hope you are all well!

Kimchi Jumuk Bap (Kimchi Rice Balls)

Jumuk + Bap = Fist + Rice

A friend of mine once asked me what jumuk bap meant. I told her that it directly translated to “fist rice.” She thought it weird, but I never once questioned the reason behind it. It was always very clear to me. It’s usually about the size a small fist. And you have to theoretically make a fist-motion in order to form these suckers. Apparently, that astute observation and explanation didn’t convince her. Whatever. No jumuk bap for you little lady!

I have chickpeas on the brain. I kind of blame it on Amazon. Among other things, I’m addicted to Amazon. I bought 12 cans of garbanzo beans on subscribe and save. That’s a crap load of beans for a tiny family of two. Now why did I do this? Because among other things, I can’t pass up a seemingly good deal. I’m still feeling the high of getting a stainless steel handheld blender at Costco for only $19.99. I probably didn’t even need it. Yes, I have issues.

I’ve been eating clean for the past week or so. No processed foods, no sugar, no red meat, no gluten, and no fried foods. I know. It sounds like a party. 😛 It’s actually not too bad. I don’t crave sweets (except for dark chocolate). I don’t crave anything really, except for french fries. French Fries are my biggest weakness. I would seriously knock an old lady down to get to the last fry in the room.
