Low fat cheesecake

If you're like me and you grew up drinking whole milk and eating full fat cheese, you may shudder at the thought of low fat cheesecake. But fear not! I would never sacrifice flavor just to cut some calories. Life's too short.

This cheesecake may be low fat, but it is creamy, cheesy, and just the perfect amount of sweet; you won't be disappointed.

WNTD: The Ballad of Cho Sun Ok

I've debated writing this post for a long time,  mostly because I don't have any images, which are the bread and butter of food blogs (the environment is too traumatizing to think about taking pictures). Another reason was that I don't enjoy writing highly negative reviews (there is a clearly defined line between constructive criticism and straight-up negativity). But then I realized that it is my duty to alert my fellow Chicagoans about the perils of eating at this...interesting establishment.

Cho Sun Ok is a Korean barbecue restaurant that gives Koreans a bad name. I have had to assure people multiple times that no, not all Korean restaurant owners are this rude, and yes, every single Korean restaurant I have been to within and outside of Korea have had very courteous servers despite the lack of tip culture. It's that bad.

There are no words to describe the magnitude of horror that the service here will incite within your soul. Let me put it this way; there is good service, there is bad service, and there is Cho Sun Ok service, which is a level of bad service that is so bad that you will sit there entranced by how bad it is. The food is great, which kept me going back a couple times, but my last experience was so traumatic that I doubt I will be returning.

Where to begin...

MOTD: Korean curry

As I may have mentioned, I have become less adventurous and ambitious in my culinary endeavors due to unfortunate obligations that come with being an adult. I have been channeling my creative energy toward meals that are delicious, nutritious, and require little preparation.

You may recall the good old days when I would make hayashi rice from scratch. Well, I can't say I do much of that anymore. However, I did manage to obtain the next best thing at my local (actually, it's a huge pain to get there, but it's still in the city) Korean grocery store.
