Bibimbap, the flavorful and vibrant Korean rice bowl meal, gets its alluring sweet-and-sour flavor from a sauce called gochujang. The vinegary, mildly spicy sauce can now be found on many grocery store shelves, where it is positioned to become the new hot-sauce darling. (Look out, Sriracha!) (Note: If your market does not yet carry gochujang, you can make a tasty substitute by combing 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoons Asian chili garlic paste and 1 1/2 teaspoons rice vinegar.) To make bibimbap, you don’t need a lot of time — but you do need lots of small bowls! It is beautifully served as a composition of the separate ingredients, which are balanced to lend an assortment of flavors and textures, from grassy to sweet and chewy to crisp. The runny yolk on top, when pierced, serves as a rich sauce that unites the entire dish. Bibimbap is healthful, satisfying and beautiful — a triple dinner winner.

‘Twas a good one!! Thursday night I went with a group of friends to see Ben Rector, one of my very favorite artists. Three of us upgraded to the VIP meet n greet package, which was soooo fun! Before the show I had appetizers and a glass of vino at The Fitzroy. Side salad, cauliflower, oysters, pretzel. Our meet n greet included a private acoustic concert with Ben. He sang two of my favorites – Sailboat and Forever Like That. We also had the opportunity to ask him questions. His favorite Netflix show is Stranger Things! The best part of the meet n greet was snagging a front row spot!! The show was AMAZING, and totally exceeded expectations. I loved every.single.song. and shed a tear when it was over. Lynsie and I have seen Ben together three times now! She is 9 months pregnant, and had a cute shirt made for the occasion : ) Friday morning I went to Afterburn (it’s so hard to get a spot in that class!), and then walked 6.3 miles the rest of the day, according to Apple He...
