Are you sure it was meat filling? It might have been red bean paste, which is definitely brownish and maybe on the slimy side but a pretty common dessert filling… ?? I have a bag of red bean buns in my freezer right now, but I don’t know how to cook them because the instructions are all in Korean. I think these ones are maybe supposed to be steamed? They were free giveaways at the local Korean grocery. If our ESL Korean friends don’t come visit soon I may try dropping them in hot oil and seeing how that goes.

I know, I know, at least I acknowledge my hypocrisy. but, like I said, you just can’t spring something like that on someone when they are expecting sweets. Also, the photo is actually of empanadas – my cultures are all mixed up. ahh! i’m mixing and mashing cultures all pell mell.

Bethany, I’m glad I could bring it back for you. I still haven’t used it in spoken language, but I might be ready for that step.

Two things. One, those doughnuts – the good ones – are one of God’s greatest gifts to mankind. They are tasty beyond compare and I am always incredibly disappointed when I visit a Chinese restaurant that doesn’t have them. Two, I am so glad that you said “boy howdy” in your blog entry. People make fun of me all the time for saying that, so the phrase has been largely relegated to my inner thoughts: now I might resurrect it…
