How Do I Love Yoo...Let me count the ways.

So to the left you see me and my best friend EVER, Ann Yoo.

All I will say is that I love that beautiful woman in the picture so much.

On my right hand in the picture, you can see a ring. She gave it to me two weeks or so after meeting one another, in the back room of the Tinker. To me, it is a wedding ring of sorts. I can't be that straight man she might need - I can't be her forever hubby - but I can be a man that loves her forever. And I am that man.

She's my love, my heart, my best friend. And when the man that is right for her comes along, I'll gladly step aside. 'Til then, I'll be her gay bff and her sidekick.

What's the point of this blog? Well, it's to say, I LOVE ANN YOO. I just wanted to take the time out to let her know she's aces in my book; that's right, I said, ACES!!!! And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who feels that way. Who's with me people? Share the YOO love.

NEW TAKE OUT---Make Mine Korean!!!!!!

So, I dedicate this post to my sweetie & best friend, Ann Yoo! Ann had taken me to the Kum Gang San (I think that's how it's spelled, but I'm a cracker, so excuse the incorrect spelling if it's not) right before I left NYC yet again. And after lying to me for 7 years about how she was going to take me, I experienced what can only be an eye opening (har har) experience.

The food was insane. My eyes, nose and mouth watered simultaneously, and I couldn't get enough kimchi. Was in a word...DELISH!

So, as many Korean-Philadelphians chose to follow their dry cleaner calling instead of cooking, I came back to Philly with very little options to satiate my growing jonesing for the Korean. That is, until Giwa opened up a couple of blocks from my work.

Well as I type, I'm scarfing down Bulgogi, Rice & Kimchi, and I think I may actually stop at Giwa on the way home to get some more kimchi. It's soooooo good, and incredibly small. And I want more.....KOREAN KIMCHI!!!

But damn, had to write about how good the food is (and affordable for at least 2 or 3 times a month, maybe four) and thank Ann again for showing me that Thai food ain't got nothing on Korean.

Yum.
