Kimchi Bulgogi Panini

Kimchi Bulgogi Sandwich | cHowDivine.com

I hate to generalize. But I will do it anyway. When Koreans cook, size matters. This is especially true when it comes to marinating meats – always 10+ lbs. If a Korean cook doesn’t follow this general rule of thumb, he/she is relentlessly ridiculed by fellow Korean cooks. They’ll say you have a “small hand.” Nope, it doesn’t mean that. 😉 It just suggests that you are not generous; you think too small. Pretty tough, huh? Ok. It may be a slight exaggeration, but not by much. It may just be my family, but I don’t think so.

Filet Mignon with Sautéed Kimchi

I’ve been hearing so much about SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) lately. Wikipedia and other sites took their sites offline for a day in protest of this Bill. Now, why are they against a piece of legislation that will fight online piracy? I mean, no one is FOR piracy. I for one don’t want someone using my copyrighted material or intellectual property without my permission or attribution – let alone profit from it. However, I would like to know if I’m committing an act that the bill would criminalize, and if this Bill will criminalize conduct that is currently permitted under the law. And I fear this bill would have an unintended chilling effect on free speech and innovation – instead of its intended, lofty goal of stopping internet piracy.
