A Korean theme park has decided to amend its commercial MV due to unfavoured public responses. The original music video for Caribbean Bay water park, which featured pop groups SNSD and 2PM, has received mixed reviews since its recent release.

Meet Wenlock and Mandeville, the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic mascots. The characters “were created from the last two drops of British steel used for the London 2012 Olympic Stadium.” I prefer old school animal-like mascots, but conventional or not, the London 2012 mascots are downright ugly.

Edna Lewis, the “Queen of Southern Cooking,” was born in Freetown, Virginia on April 13, 1916. There’s a wonderful tribute to Edna Lewis by Damon Lee Fowler in the Fall, 2007 issue of Repast a publication of the Culinary Historians Society of Ann Arbor Michigan. (it’s a PDF file but well worth the wait:)Try as I may, I could never pay homage to Edna Lewis appropriately.

I happened upon quite an embarrassing dilemma when tallying the winner of the April Fool’s Day Game. Quite frankly, I’ve decided give-aways are not my forte. It seems, I should have stressed the fact that since the Sauces book is so hefty, the game was opened to US residents only

63rd day in Korea. I’ve met countless people from all walks of life from different parts of the globe, coming and leaving at my residing hostel on regular basis. There’s always a slight sense of loneliness after bidding farewell to those whom I’ve had good chats with, knowing the fact that it’s probably the last time I’ll be seeing their faces despite all the keep-in-touch promises.
