Google Socks

As some of you have noticed I like posting stuff….A LOT! From Facebook, Yelp, Instagram and Google Maps. I am on the road a great deal and take pictures of all kinds of stuff. I do procrastinate to the tenth power when it comes to posting sometimes, fuck this is my first post of the year….FUCK ME!, but I do get to it.

So, Google sent me a notice last month that they were going to send me a small token of their appreciation….SOCKS. I know that really is not that big of a deal but I post stuff just for fun and not with the actual intent of getting anything in return. So getting socks for posting stuff is pretty sweet.

And to be honest, I forgot about it until I saw the package! I love getting things in the mail that are not bills or political ads!

Fuck Sweet Google Socks

I love my Google Socks! I am not sure if there are more prizes awaiting me for being a dork but I am hopeful! It is rare that I get any feedback from anyone outside my circle of family and friends. I love all comments and criticisms; if I am wrong point it out and I will make it right, if you like something let me know, follow me and I will follow back.

I am not 100% why I do the things I do regarding my postings or blogs, I am not looking for anything other than a place to call my own. Just some place I can go to rant, vent, laugh and share. There is no planning, white boarding or daily active action plans surrounding this….if there was I would probably post more ha!

I am not here for a long time, I am here for a good time. I have been blogging for sometime but I have been super inconsistent and lack any real direction. Sorry but not sorry, it is just how I am. I hope to get on here more often, I swear if I posted as much I think about posting I would have one hell of site!

So, till next time share share share the world around you!

Ps…..We went to the Korean BBQ place again last weekend, the last time we were there was back in November. This time we had more people but the same end result: Good Times and Good Food!

Food Comfort Zone: Korean Bar-B-Q

About two weeks ago we took a step out of our food comfort zone for some Korean Bar-B-Q, to be exact it was an ALL YOU CAN EAT meat fest! The restaurant: Gen Korean BBQ House and I will give it two thumbs up!

This place was great, this was an all new experience for us so we took a few guides with us. Two of my wife’s coworkers (Johnny and Karen) showed us the ropes and how to properly maneuver our way around. They showed us the way of the meat, sauces, grilling and the numerous Korean customs when it came to the dinner table. It was fascinating to watch Karen work the grill, she was head of this meat lovers wet dream. She was grilling and serving like a boss….and did you know that you can ask for a grill change out? This is where they bring you a new grill cover because the one you have is…dirty?!?!!? I would have never thought to do that!

Meat Meat and more Meat!

The above picture was the first order of about 13 orders, well I could be mistaken about the actual number because I lost track at about 10! Now, to be fair there were 4 of us and 3 of the 4 have huge appetites! We ordered pork, lamb, and all styles and cuts of beef with various seasonings and marinates!

Side dishes consisted of pickled everything

The meats came with various sauces (Crazy Sauce…I have no idea but it is what they called it) and pickled….stuff. Excuse my ignorance as I am not very versed in Korean dishes, so no offense if I get something wrong!

We had Oi Muchim, Mu Saengchae, Kimchi, and these onion things….sorry I could not find what they were called, sweet onion slices. Now, the wife was not a fan of these little side dishes by myself and out Korean guides went through about 4 rounds! I love pickled…anything! And to drink:

Jinro Plum Soju…..god this stuff is GOOD!

Jinro Plum Soju, dangerous stuff! It only has 13% alcohol so it is not that hard and went perfectly with our orgy of meat! You can only find this stuff in specialty shops or as I came to find out…Asian markets. Most happy stores (Liquor Stores) do not carry it, you might have to travel a bit if you want some. This drink is an original from Korea, from what I have gathered it was first distilled in the 14th century. It is made from rice…rice….how the hell does this wonderful concoction come from rice! I will be on the hunt for this in the near future, luckily we live within a few minutes of various Asian markets.

By the end of this adventure I was full! Not stuffed, just full. I have been plugging away at my low carb lifestyle so I avoided the rice, the bread and the sweets. I did get some carbs in me due to the sauces and alcohol but I was still on track with my low carb consuming ways.

Last thing to note on our meat travels is that we WILL be coming back here! It is not that far from our house and the experience was fucking awesome! So till next time…..share share share the world around you!

Extra Picture: This was another restaurant right next to the BBQ House, I loved the name…..Nutrition House! Nothing says awesome like being literal….its a house where you get nutrition…LOVED IT!
