Goatgaetang is something I remember (giyuk) vividly while visiting the west coast (seohaeahn) seaside when I lived in Korea (hanguk). My friend (chingu) would often take me there to get out of the city (baramsae) and enjoy the ocean smell and gorge ourselves with seafood (haemuhl) and spirits (sool). The funny thing about it is the endless lines of restaurants (shikdang) specializing in grilling various kinds of shellfish (jogae) with elaborately decorated ornaments and elderly Korean women (ajummas) literally forcing themselves on customers' cars to get them to come inside. This experience (gyunghum) really cannot be put into words, but all Koreans (and foreigners alike) know how fun it is to visit the seaside. Luckily, I was to pull some pictures from the Internet about these types of restaurants. Ingredients 4 medium-sized crabs (preferrably blue crab) 6,7 cups water ¼ small radish 1 small strip of dashima (sea kelp) 1 medium diced zucchini 1 small diced onion ...
As the invasion of Ukraine by Russia continues, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians are fleeing the country and are being welcomed by European countries. They are being welcomed by leaders of countries who share borders or are close to Ukraine geographically such as Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania and Moldova as they consider them so called culturally identical. Bulgarian Prime Minister Kiril Petrov described Ukrainian as not being refugees they were used to, when he spoke to journalists. He called them “Europeans.” He also called them “intelligent” and “educated people” and not people “with unclear pasts who could have been even terrorists.”According to NPR, he added, “…there is not a single European country now which is afraid of the current wave of refugees.”This statement is a combination of “racism and Islamophobia” according to Syrian journalist Okba Mohammed, who now lives in Spain. He said that he was not surprised by these comments.In December 2021, according to a report by...

Because this is a once-in-a-lif...
On Friday, Meta Platform Inc. which owns Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram said that it was blocking Russian state owned media from its social media platforms.

In a stunning move, Nike decides to drop its merchandise out of many retail stores. Nike wants to go direct to consumer. The reason, better profit margins than they would sell to wholesalers. The Nike brand is also concerned about how its products are displayed and it seeks more control over its own merchandise and marketing. They will continue to offer customers merchandise to purchase in their brick-and-mortar stores and in their online marketplace. They will also drop all  most third-party relationships with online venues as well such as retailers like Footlocker. Footlocker, which is the largest vender for Nike has announced that it will take a deep dive in profits due to Nike’s decision to take the merchandise out of the stores. This will also be a big blow to other large retailers that carry the Nike brand, and it is likely profits will plummet for those businesses as well. Other large brands like Adidas and Under Armour are also pulling back from third party resellers so the...
“The city has gone into a defensive phase. Shots and explosions are ringing out in some neighborhoods. Saboteurs have already entered Kyiv,” said Kyiv’s mayor, former world heavyweight boxing champion Vitali Klitchko. Russia’s military said Friday it took control of the strategic Hostomel airport northwest of Kyiv that enables it to quickly mobilize forces to seize the capital. Russia’s claim was not immediately confirmed but Ukrainian authorities reported heavy fighting there. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba denounced “horrific rocket strikes” on Kyiv, some of which hit civilian areas. The windows were blown out in a 10-story apartment building near Kyiv’s main airport, where a two-meter crater showed where a missile had hit before dawn.

Soda without bubbles is almost impossible to imagine, like it would be imagining baseball without a cap. However, PepsiCo, one of the leading soda makers around the world has reimagined the bubbles as tiny smooth ones that form a foam above making the soda softer and tastier on the palate. And how has the beverage giant achieved this wonder? By investing in technology and developing a nitrogen-infused cola.Nitrogen-infused coffee is more than a decade old and is still going strong. Pepsi decided to catch up with the trend and make a nitrogen-infused soda that would have a frothy, foamy, smooth texture similar to the head on a cup of coffee or a mug of beer.In its press release, Pepsi said that the improved and unique texture of the cola will be achieved by the use of widget technology. Since the technology is innovative, it goes without saying that although Nitro Pepsi can be consumed straight from the can, taking a few different steps will enhance the unique product experience.Some of...
Elon Musk, the chief executive officer (CEO) of Tesla Motors is not new to controversy. He has faced investigations from federal agencies and has also been fined for his misleading tweets by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2018. Now, the SEC has opened a new investigation into alleged insider trading by him and his brother Kimbal Musk. The Wall Street Journal was the first to report the news, on Thursday. Last year Kimbal Musk sold shares of Tesla one day before his brother Elon Musk conducted a Twitter poll where he had asked millions of his followers whether he should sell 10 percent of his shares in Tesla. He said that he would follow the result of the poll.An overwhelming large number of followers said that he should sell his shares and this lead to a crash in the stock price of the electric car maker. As the poll resulted in a crash, the value of the company fell. However, his brother Kimbal had sold 88,500 shares just a day before the Twitter poll, when the stock ...
These addictive ribs balance sweet and heat. A thick, flavorful paste made with honey and a handful of basic Asian ingredients acts as both a wet rub and a glaze. Gochujang is a Korean fermented chili paste; look for it in the international aisle of the supermarket or in Asian grocery stores. Racks of baby back ribs, cut so they fit in the pot, are cooked until tender, then glazed and broiled until burnished before being separated into individual ribs. Serve them as a main course with rice and steamed or stir-fried vegetables or offer as an appetizer. Don’t use pork spareribs. They’re larger than baby backs and won’t fit in the pot; they also require a slightly longer cooking time. Don’t prep the cilantro and scallions at the same time as you prep the ribs; use the half hour or so that it takes the ribs to pressure cook to chop and slice them. This saves some up-front time and ensures the herbs are fresh and flavorful for serving. INGREDIENTS 1 cup Hoisin Sauce 1/2 cup honey ...
President Joe Biden authorized a new round of sanctions and limitations in response to Putin’s war of choice against Ukraine. The White House has purposefully designed these sanctions to maximize the long-term impact on Russia – and to minimize the impact on the United States. President Biden has taken  active steps to bring down the costs — and American oil and gas companies should not exploit this moment to hike prices just to raise profits. Biden spoke to Americans from the White House hours after holding a virtual meeting with the leaders of Britain, Canada, France, Italy and Japan. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Council President Charles Michel, and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg also joined the meeting. President Biden said Zelenskyy had reached out to him and asked Biden to call on world leaders to “speak out clearly against President Putin’s flagrant aggression,” the statement said. “Tomorrow, I will be meeting with the Leaders o...

Google is getting ready to welcome its workers back to the office. The tech giant is known to offer a whole list of perks and many employees complained that they missed these amenities when they were at work from home mode due to the raging pandemic. However, as many employees return to the office three days a week, after a gap of two years, they will get back many of these perquisites. Google is looking at a hybrid model for employees to return to the office for part of the week. Many of their workers are waiting to get back the facilities they missed but some still prefer the option of working remotely. Google Real Estate and Workplace Services VP David Radcliffe emailed employees saying that some rules on vaccines, testing, wearing masks and social distancing would be relooked at including the necessity of vaccines for U.S. workers, which was mandatory, earlier.Earlier in January, workers who were vaccinated were also expected to take tests due to the surge of Covid cases due to the...
On Thursday, former President George W. Bush released a statement from his home in Dallas, Texas. He condemned the invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces and called it a historic disaster. He asked Americans to remain united in the face of the aggressive stance by President Vladimir Putin of Russia.The former president said that Russia’s attack on Ukraine constituted the “gravest security crisis on the European continent since World War II.” He said that he joined the international community in “condemning Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked and unjustified invasion of Ukraine.”President Bush also asked all Americans to stand united behind the people of Ukraine. He said that both the American government as well as people in the nation “must stand united” with the people and the government of Ukraine as they sought their “freedom” as well as the “right to choose their future.” He also took direct aim at the Russian President as he said that the “authoritarian bullying and danger that Putin poses...
I am a big fan of Ethnic cuisines, and I especially love those with an Asian descent. But I’ve got to say, out of all of them, Thai food is probably my favorite (or at least it’s pretty close). I love the mix of sweet and spicy (I will often order a 9 out of 10 on the spicy scale), the plethora of vegetables, and the feeling of content you get after eating it – not stuffed, but pleasantly full. I don’t often make “authentic” Thai dishes at home, due to the lack of specific ingredients they entail, but I will make Thai-fusion dishes that taste pretty similar to the real thing. Ingredients 2 tablespoons Organic Canola oil 1 ¼ cup (½ lb) fresh wide rice noodles ½ cup zucchini (1 medium), sliced ½ cup Japanese eggplant, sliced ½ cup broccoli florets 1 carrot, sliced ½ cup firm tofu, patted dry and cut into bit-sized pieces (or ½ cup seafood such as squid & shrimp, or chicken) 2 tablespoons fresh peppercorns 2 tablespoons chopped garlic (2 cloves) 1 tablespoon sm...
Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized the marketing of the first condoms specifically indicated to help reduce transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) during anal intercourse. The condoms, which will be marketed as the One Male Condom, are also indicated as a contraceptive to help reduce the risk of pregnancy and the transmission of STIs during vaginal intercourse. Condom companies are now able to market a condom that is specifically designed for anal sex. The FDA makes the move to help prevent STD’s, HIV, and other sexually transmitted diseases with the authorization. Before today’s authorization, the FDA had not cleared or approved condoms specifically indicated for anal intercourse. Unprotected anal intercourse carries the greatest sexual exposure risk of HIV transmission. Consistent and correct condom use has the potential to significantly help decrease the risk of STIs. While today’s authorization underscores the public health importance of con...
Executives at tech giants such as Google, Facebook, and Amazon are leaving to work in the buzzy world of cryptocurrency, leaving lucrative positions to join Web3 and cryptocurrency startups. Ryan Wyatt left YouTube earlier this month to lead Polygon’s new gaming studio. Wyatt joined the Google-owned video site in 2014 to spearhead an expansion into video game content and to compete more aggressively with Amazon’s Twitch platform. He compared Web3 to when he first joined YouTube gaming seven years ago saying that nobody imagined it would grow to become YouTube’s second-largest vertical. The excitement surrounding Web3 has attracted some of the most brilliant minds in technology. The Web3 movement proposes remaking the internet in such a way that popular online services are moved to decentralized technologies such as blockchain. Meta began developing its Novi crypto wallet in 2019, and it is rumored that it is considering releasing new tools for non-fungible tokens, or NFTs. Sher...

However, the pandemic exacerbated the situation as people wore masks and he was unable to have conversations in public places.He explained in detail how he wouldn't understand a word of what the person next to him was saying.

According to Johnson, the sanctioned banks are Rossiya, IS Bank, General Bank, Promsvyazbank, and the Black Sea Bank. Gennady Timchenko, Igor Rotenberg, and Boris Rotenberg are the three individuals whose assets they have in the UK will be frozen; they will be barred from entering the country, and all UK individuals and organizations will be prohibited from engaging with them, said Johnson.

Comfort food is all I want lately. Shrimps and Grits are just that for me. Creamy soft grits with a medley of soft vegetables over it.  Tender shrimps with a perfect sauce to go along.  Here is my creation. I had some vegetables in my crisper, and I wanted to enjoy them before it would be too late. A couple of personal notes about this recipe: I did not use salt with the grits because the Parmesan cheese is a bit salty in itself, and adding salt would make it too saltier.  Make sure you let the butter melt with the grits before adding the parmesan cheese. If the grits become too thick and lose the velvety, creamy feeling, add a bit of more milk. Ingredients FOR THE GRITS 1 cup water 1 cup whole milk 1/2 cup Albers quick grits 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese finely grated 2 tablespoons butter FOR THE SHRIMPS 16 large shrimps 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/2 cup celery diced small 1 cup finely chopped leeks 1 tablespoon garlic clove, finely chopped 1 teaspoon fresh thym...
