L had a checkup yesterday at the children's dentist and it occurred to me that she will be over 18 years old at her next checkup. So we made one last appointment for the summer, but I think the next one will be with a dentist that caters to adults. It's also time to switch her from her pediatrician. Growing up can be hard to do. She will miss both doctors but it's almost time to move on.
Life is funny, on any one day, I can be bursting with pride at L's latest accomplishments and in the next minute, a teacher can call about K's progress in a subject. And just when I'm despairing at K's academic performance at school, he comes home and surprises me with a decent mark on a recent unit test. Staying alive is what I call that.
I bought some beef short ribs that were on sale at the supermarket. I asked the butcher to slice them up and was surprised when he did them so finely, as per 'korean short ribs(bulgogi)'. So luckily there is 'google' and I found a recipe that I'm going to try today. It seems you marinate them and then you can simply stir fry them for about 3 minutes per side.
From this website, I learned that
'The typical Korean marinade has soy sauce, ginger, something sweet like honey or sugar and some simple seasonings. The marinade should also contain some kind of vinegar or alcohol to tenderize the meat and carry the flavors deep inside.' And this recipe seems like a good place to start. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Can't wait to hear how the ribs turn out. I am sure they'll be delicious!
SoccerMom, your comment makes me feel I'm not alone
Joanna the ribs were delicious
Japra, I can't wait to have some leftover ribs for lunch. I'm sad to think L is about to leave home, but I have to accept that it's a part of growing up and becoming an adult. Now if she could just finish those supplementary applications!
Korean Bulgogi is nice. Missed my favourite food, maybe will hop in to a Korean rstaurant this weekend
