• I’ve added a casual chat room to CookingBites as a place for off-topic banter, light conversation, and short-lived chit-chat that doesn’t belong in forum threads. The chat room is informal and lightly-to-not moderated, with messages being temporary, so it’s ideal for friendly back-and-forth that would otherwise derail discussions. Site rules still apply, but there’s no reporting system or expectation of post-by-post moderation - if something becomes uncomfortable, the right response is to step away. If a topic has substance or lasting value, it still belongs in the forums; everything else can head to chat.

What did you cook or eat today? (January 2026)

Grilled chicken, very tender, bapchae, a Korean dish, and some kimchi. I made my bapchae not salty, so it goes very well with kim chi.

I haven't had good kimchi in over 30 years. The problem was that I was stationed in South Korea in 91. It didn't get more authentic than that!

My town has a lot of Korean, so I have easy access to good kimchi. My daughter who used to eat out a lot at Korea town, said it’s very close to the restaurant level.
