It's Judy. It h as finally dawned on your's truly that I could be considered a fabulous cook. Yes, in order to achieve this distinction all I have to do is cook for a Korean person! According to every single Kdrama I have ever seen, when a Korean person tastes something, they will always exclaim how wonderful it is. Not just mild "mmmm's" but whole-hearted enthusiasm and wide eyes with every single bite! Forget inviting Pat.... I'll invite Jin (of BTS) instead. He will

Shoutout to my husband’s cousin, Melissa, who goes to Cannes yearly. She’s recently retired from the entertainment business where she was in sales and distribution of television shows.

I contacted the provider of this website (Wix) and finally hit gold and got through to a live agent! This is always a miracle. I explained to the agent that 'woe is me, our site seem

Wherever did the term ‘lovesick cow’ come from? I know, I know, it sounds disgusting, but it IS a thing. Well, that would describe me after seeing the latest Park Bo-gum Kdrama with Song Hye-ko. OH, NO, I’VE TURNED INTO JUDY (cue the scary music!!) Disclaimer here: I’m not that into him. Really, I’m not. My go to heart throb is a more virile looking type.

This post originally appeared in January 2023. Since that time I've learned more & more about this custom and it makes perfect sense to me. One of the BEST things about watching Kdramas is learning about cultural differences... it's such fun and we encourage you to start on this journey too! ~ Judy Food Craving... Okay, imagine this.
