In the summer, when traditional napa cabbages are not in their prime season, Yangbaechu (green cabbage) comes in handy for making kimchi. Yangbaechu is naturally sweet and crunchy, which makes it a good source for kimchi. Unlike napa cabbage, which requires many hours of salting, yangbaechu doesn’t need to be salted for very long. All you need is about two hours to soften the cabbage and bring out the flavors. Lightly seasoned, this yangbaechu kimchi is light and refreshing! Ingredients:● 1 head

Electric personal mobility vehicles touted as a future mobility solution for short-distance travel

The electric personal mobility vehicle ― a one-passenger car that comes in various shapes and sizes ― should break away from traditional automobile design in order for people to adopt the innovative vehicle for the urban lifestyle, according to Lee Keun, dean of the International Design School for Advanced Studies at Hongik University.“It’s a new genre of mobility. The material, design and fuel are completely different from gas-powered cars. The reason people feel hesitant to embrace the electri

Here, we will look at gastritis, gastric ulcers and gastric cancer, whic

Super Graphic: A Visual Guide to the Comic Book UniverseBy Tim Leong (Chronicle)“Super Graphic: A Visual Guide to the Comic Book Universe” demands a soft toilet seat and, I estimate, 17.4 hours of your time. That’s a compliment. In fact, if you don’t own a bathroom, build one immediately so you may luxuriate for obnoxiously long, undisturbed stretches with artist Tim Leong’s self-described “love letter to the medium,” an absorbing, wonderfully unnecessary pairing of inventive, beautiful designs

If I Ever Get Out of HereBy Eric Gansworth (Arthur A. Levine/Scholastic)“If I Ever Get Out of Here,” Eric Gansworth’s first novel for young people, rings true with a sophisticated look at what it’s like to be an outsider and what it takes to be a true friend.Lewis Blake has precious little going for him in school; he’s smart, sure. But he’s super skinny, essentially friendless, his family is dirt poor, and he’s from the “rez” in an area that routinely treats his Tuscarora Reservation community w

“Prague doesn‘t let go,” Franz Kafka once wrote of his hometown. “This little mother has claws.”That line neatly summarizes the tension in Caleb Crain’s elegant and intellectually robust debut novel, “Necessary Errors.” Its hero, Jacob, is a 20-something American navigating familiar 20-something crises: love versus lust, accomplishment versus slackerdom. Tales of such post-collegiate expats are usually thin studies in privileged narcissism. But Crain complicates the story, using the Prague setti

Rob Sheffield is the kind of true-blue music nerd who’ll pause his latest memoir ― one with a subtitle promising a book about “the rituals of love & karaoke” ― to address the topic of Rod Stewart.Not how much he loves Rod Stewart, exactly, nor which of Stewart’s songs is the most fun to sing at karaoke. (Duh: “Love Touch.”) Rather, Sheffield’s chapter on the singer, called “Hot Legs,” examines in great detail Stewart’s merry progression from “a rambling rock & roll rogue” to “an L.A. roue trappe

Seo announced the news on his official website saying, “We recently gathered our family and held a meaningful wedding ceremony.” The couple reportedly invited a few of their closest friends for a housewarming party after the wedding on June 26 and “had a good time.”  He also talked about married life so far, how there were many good aspects to being married a
