Master Organizing Tips from Justin Klosky
O.C.D. Experience
If you're one of the chronically disorganized, Justin Klosky has some time-saving tips for you. The expert behind O.C.D. Experience (Organize & Create Discipline) who took his disorder and created a company, he's sharing some solutions for maximizing your storage space:
Fireplace mantel: Wall space is the most common dead space, so make use of this space wisely! By adding a fireplace mantel in the entryway, you can create a great place for organizing your or your children's everyday jackets, hats and scarves. Designate a hook for each family member and label it so items don't get mixed-up. Depending on where the mantle hangs in your home, consider using the top space for books and framed pictures.
Wall key holder: Also, hang your keys on the wall. Discipline and good habits are everything in maintaining organization. Get into the habit of putting your keys in the same place every time you walk in the door. Use hooks for each individual in the household and designate a hook for their set of keys. You can even go so far as labeling each space for the household members. Make sure that each key ring houses only the necessary keys and you aren't walking around with a bunch of keys you don't use on a weekly basis. Your key ring should have your frequently used keys, with other keys on separate key rings housed in a common area. Keys for bike locks should be separated from your daily keys unless you use your bike as your common method of transportation.
Creative bin: Hide all your items in this creative bin on top of the fireplace mantel. It looks like books but is actually a secret storage bin. These bins can be great for magazine storage, media storage and even a place to put those excessive remote controls.
Storage bench: Use this bench to hide all of your family belongings. Think about furniture for your entryway that has storage capability inside. Using a bench with storage will aid you in keeping your home clean and organized. The bench is great a way to maximize dead space that you normally would overlook. When you enter your home sit down, relax, take your shoes off and then put them away in the bench. Your home will always look presentable when guests arrive. You can even use bins in the bench to keep your items divided and organized. One bin can be for shoes, another for pet accessories like leashes, poopy bags and a brush to brush your dog when you get back inside. If you have multiple members in your home then get separate bins for each member for their shoes. This way items don't get mixed up.
Artwork storage: Using a painting in your bedroom adds design to a room but this one has storage behind it. It is also a great way to hide those items that are difficult to store. Hang items that you would use on a regular basis such as jewelry. The painting will close in front and display elegance and your items will be out of sight, but ready to grab.
Bed headboard: Another design element is a headboard! This headboard organizing solution is perfect for someone who likes to read in bed without the mess of magazines and books all over their room. I know I wake up often and want to jot down thoughts or dreams in the middle of the night. Store a journal and pen for jotting down those important dreams. Think about creating a slot for your phone charger or cable for your alarm clock so all of your wires are hidden and tucked away. Lastly, hide those bulky remotes there as well. You want your room to be as crisp and clean as possible.
Night stand: Organize your similar belongings that you wear or put in your pocket everyday such as your wallet, money, gum, watch, etc. and store them in your night stand dresser. You can increase storage here easily! You can make this divider by using a kitchen organizer and add felt pads for the areas that accessories can go in. You can drill the organizer into place so it didn't slide around. It's only $15 to make.
Trunk for office files: Organize your office files together! If you don't have a home office and your bedroom doubles as your office, get a trunk for your bedroom that doubles as file storage and organize similar office items together. If you are going to have a bench at the foot of your bed make sure it has storage capabilities. Always think about furniture in your bedroom that has storage capability inside. You can also store envelopes, pens, extra printer paper and various office supplies for a simple grab and go. Keep files that you don't want to scan and shred such as medical information, and any important receipts and certified documents in here. Make sure that if you are using a solution like this there is no overflow anywhere else in your home. Contain all of your supplies to a designated are so you know when you are low on a supply to rebuy.
Kitchen wall storage: Secure kitchen wall organizers and hang your supplies and utensils like these on the wall! Placement is key. You want the items that you use most to be the most accessible. Eliminate spices from taking up all of your cabinet space and store them on the wall. Buy as many wall mounts as you need for spices and label them. Store them alphabetically for quick grab and go. Utensils are always piled on top of one another in drawers making them impossible to find. Simply hang your utensils on this bar which will make cooking more efficient. Top shelves are good for items that can be bulkier, but you use on a regular basis. You can also store vases up here as well for when those special flowers arrive from that special someone.
Thanks, Justin!

I would love to hang kitchen supplies, but 3 cats and generally disorganized boyfriend in a small space make it difficult to keep those clean.
Nothing revolutionary here. I am struggling with clutter issues for years now and have discovered that obsessing about storage just delays the inevitable - get rid of it! Remember - introducing a new storage piece into your life is introducing a new thing. Still, I do love the wall-hung unit in the very first photo - do you know where it comes from?
Also, for security reasons, we are told never to display keys prominently. In case of a break-in, your car keys are very handy if they are hanging from a hook near your door.
I feel like someone with O.C.D. would not place a skeleton key in a hollowed-out book.
Store magazines in a hollowed-out book? Oooookaaaay.
Also are there some pictures missing? This post is very disjointed.
"This painting has storage behind it . . . "
What painting?
"You can make this drawer divider easily . . . "
What drawer divider?
A constant argument in our home. Husband: "We need more storage!" Me: "We need to get rid of things!"
The more info on organization the better, I just posted an article called Mud Room Madness and would love to see what you think about it http://adoreyourplace.com/2012/11/15/mud-room-mayhem/
Happy Weekend!
I also felt confused about this. Is there something missing? I like the article, though.
Ack, that magnetic knife thing! *must breathe in and out of paper bag*
Liked the hanging cabinet in the first picture but it is never discussed. Anyone know where to get one or if it's a DIY? Would be great if it were also a charging station. One can dream.
I am obsessed. Justin Klosky is my new inspiration. Thank you for this article.
100 Things Challenge will solve the problem. Worked for me.
My favorite info from above: "Make sure that if you are using a solution like this there is no overflow anywhere else in your home."
Perfectly stated. And so hard for me to achieve. I love organization and have the hardest time sticking with it. Must. Pare. Down.
Does anyone know where one can purchase that amazing hallway organizer in the very first photo? I am IN LOVE with it.
Indeed there are a few pictures missing and it kills me also @Heather C that the period is missing from O.C.D. Experience!
Like anything in your life you never want to add any storage, system or organizational device before knowing EXACTLY its intention. Some of you said you love organization but have a hard time keeping it up. You are not alone. This is common which is why I created my business and trademarked it Organize & Create Discipline. Learning the discipline behind maintaining anything in your life, let alone your stuff, will be a challenge at first. But once you get going, make it a habit, teach your family members those skills, you will be on your way to effortless organization.
1. I inherited a huge ikea Expedit shelving unit in a new apartment. Was able to put it to use as room divider. Storage on one side, hung art on the other like an extra "wall". 2. I also had a huge clutter issue. Am lucky enough to have thrift shop near by. Sorted through clutter, donated the good stuff and got nice a write off on taxes. There is a Good Will Valuation Guide online.
Sometimes this article almost reads like it's been auto-translated:
''You can increase storage here easily! You can make this divider by using a kitchen organizer and add felt pads for the areas that accessories can go in. You can drill the organizer into place so it didn't slide around. It's only $15 to make."
Also--the most common dead space is walls? And what comes in second, floors? Are ceilings third?
I personally don't like hanging things out in the open. It is too much visual clutter. I'd much rather throw them in the closet.
Indedd @p-zed the most common, usable, dead space are walls. Most people's floors usually are cluttered with things so I would say that floors aren't common dead space. As for ceilings, some kitchen utilities such as pots and pans can be hung. In your garage you can hang bicycles and have storage that can be raised. Unless you are a spider using your ceiling won't be to functional for most items.
No auto-translation, just trying to be direct, to the point and efficient. :)
@eldon it can be beneficial to use a shelving unit as a room divider, especially if the room could be divided into two distinct spaces!
What's wrong with magnetic knife strips? I need mine, in my teeny-tiny, drawer-less kitchen. Where else would the knives go? Also, it holds the scissors and the tea towel (via a metal curtain clip). And I kinda love it. When you pull the big chef's knife off it, it sounds like you are drawing a sword from a scabbard. :)
I want to see the storage-behind-the-painting pic! :(
yes.. i agree.. my ocd kicked in when i didn't find the painting with the storage? i w0ould really love to see it..
This is a j. weiss design in a home in Moraga, CA.
I live in a small loft which is very open and lacks storage space. My 6x8 entry way is the most effecient use of space in the loft.There's a key hook immediately accessible when I open the door. I installed a rustic board with coat hooks along the length of one wall, holding coats, scarves, unbrellas, purses and hats. On the other wall is a custom shoe cabinet which reminds me to remove my shoes and put them away. Saves me from tripping over them later or wasting time searching for them. And the last wall has a small table with a lamp on a timer, so I never come home to a dark home. The table has a drawer holding sunglasses, extra keys and a lint remover. Behind the table is a large mirror to make a quick check before I head out and on the shelf below is a bag I take to the Goodwill when it's full. I am constantly editing my belongings and make a run to the Goodwill several times a year. Getting rid of stuff makes me feel lighter, freer and liberated. Try it!
Where can I find the headboard/book storage?? That would be the perfect solution for my pillows falling off the bed!!
Many companies make headboards with storage in it or behind it, all varying in storage capacity.
I posted something about the ARTWORK STORAGE solution here: http://www.ocdexperience.com/blog/2012/11/20/hidden-storage-jewelry-organizer/
Take a look...it's fun and easy to make.

In some place a level 58 said he had the quests, but the gear and stuff is all level 70 geared. Even the mobs.
Blizzard sadly doesnt add enough new content to the guys levelling up, but that's just the way it goes.
I'd like to see more redone content like Dustwallow Marsh's new shiny feel. Mid-20/early 30s zones need that done to them and early 40s zones too.
MusedMoose said...
Wholly agreed. I wish Blizzard would remember that different people play the game at different paces, and that they'd realize that it sucks to miss out on short-term or one-time events just because you don't have a level 70 character. Grr. Arg.
According to WoWhead, you only need to be level 50. The mobs are level 70, however, so you need to be really careful and have generous 70 friends to kill them and keep you alive. As a level 64 priest with a 70 pally and 70 mage, I was able to pick up enough runes for the tabard, banner trinket, cloth shoulders, and cloth gloves (46 runes in total, 56 if you include the ten needed for the first quest), loot the cloth chest piece, and get half a level of experience. The only item I can actually equip before I hit 70 is the tabard, though. It was a profitable night for everyone, and I was still able to provide decent healing at my level.

Thanksgiving 2007: So... How Did It Go?
Thanksgiving is a big holiday for cooks. We plan, shop, and gather recipes. And in the end we're left with a stuffed family and hopefully a few leftovers. How did your Thanksgiving meal go? What were you most happy with, and what leftovers are you looking forward to eating?
We had a packed house with two turkeys and an ovenful of side dishes - check it out after the jump.
Two kinds of sweet potatoes and cheesy white potatoes were warming in the oven...
9 Comments
That is one packed oven! Looks delicious.
I'm jealous. went to my sister in laws and they wanted to have a "Boston Market Takeout Thanksgiving"
I'm having Thanksgiving envy. Didn't celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving last month with a big feast (it's not as big or important a holiday up here) and now I'm feeling like cooking something special.
Must always have something "cheesy" for Thanksgiving.
I've heard that those baking bags are amazing. Or is that plastic wrap that you put on to keep the turkey warm?
Best leftovers--stuffing.
We had a lovely free range organic turkey with simple sides -- steamed broccoli (because all four children under 8 present love the it); mashed potatoes; roasted sweet potatoes; dressing; a green salad with apples, walnuts and gorgonzola; homemade cranberry sauce; and (Cheesecake Factory) pumpkin cheesecake for dessert after a walk to see Christmas lights in the neighborhood. It was relatively healthy and just perfect, as our guests brought the things that travel well (cranberry, salad, dessert) and we didn't spend the day slaving in the kitchen. I am missing the traditional pie today, so we will make up for it at Christmas.
My boyfriends mother started the stove on fire. Apparently some of the turkey dripping sloshed out of the pan when she removed the turkey. They were already carving it when I got there. She went to check on the rolls she pop in after removing the turkey and the whole bottom of the stove was aflame! Thankfully a fire extinguisher was close by. The house was a bit smoky and we need to open all the windows and let the cold in for a bit. Unfortunately the rolls were a casualty but the rest of the food was good.
That photo looks a little like a giant teddy bear head in a pan covered with plastic wrap.
I didn't get to bring home any leftovers, except some turkey munchies for my dog.
Mine went off without a hitch! It was my first time hosting. We brined the turkey and tried the "butcher" carving method recommended in the NY Times (Or LA Times, I can't remember). It was perfect, we'll be doing that moving forward.
Sides were simple, green beans grilled with green onions and almonds, mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, gravy, and my first attempt at dressing, which turned out faaaabulous.
Now I want to host every year!
While we spent Thanksgiving with family, we did Turkey Day 2 with friends on Friday. My husband does a dry rub of herbs and spices and roasts the turkey in a paper bag-- keeps it moist until he removes it before the last hour of roasting to get it golden brown. I did about five hours of cooking, including a spicy cranberry relish, a green bean and French fried onion casserole with mushrooms sauteed in white wine, citrus roasted yams, fresh rolls, garlic mashed potatoes, herbed dressing, and two types of homemade gravy-- turkey and mushroom (since I'm a vegetarian). Then, of course, there was the desserts-- my homemade pumpkin pie and the apple pie and apple cake our guests brought. All in all, it was delicious and something we'll continue to do with our friends in the future!
We hosted. I used an organic kosher turkey, which I'll definitely do again (no brining required and it tasted great!). Sides were: Sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, mushroom stuffing (cooked outside the bird), giblet gravy, green beans with pine nuts and biscuits. Everything came out perfectly, except for the stuffing, which was dry. We also had an apple cranberry pie and lots of champagne.
Unfortunately my husband's family was in a pile up on the NJ Turnpike. They are now fine, but never made it to NYC and the dinner. We ended up heading to Philly that night to be near them (my mother-in-law was in the hospital for 2 nights) so now we've got mounds of leftovers to consume.
I'd definitely host again. I really enjoy the cooking.

I want model 5 and scalar dungeons. I want to be able to walk into Big Bad Bob's Throne Room and kill Bob all by myself, or with 2 friends, or 24 friends. Tanking as a concept has always been anathema to me, and I would praise its passing. Healing as well, to a lesser extent.
Coming into WoW 7 or so years ago, I expected Diablo-style gameplay, and I still want that after all these years. Every class should have built-in damage reducing cooldowns and mobility cooldowns and some sort of regen ability and of course potions.
JattTheRogue said...
You want Diablo-style gameplay? I have a great suggestion for you! You'll never, ever guess what it's going to be ... play Diablo!
DancePuppets said...
/cry, I really can't think of anything worse from my perspective. I've tried DPSing and it just doesn't interest me and I find tanking a moderate improvement on that, but healing is a perfect fit. I enjoy the type of information management that comes from playing a healer and have now levelled all 4 healing classes to 85 although my Disc priest will probably always be my main.
I will admit to being worried about the healing model going into MoP as it looks like they're going to simplify a great number of things removing some of the number crunching that I actually enjoy. I realise these views probably put me in the minority and have (mostly) come to terms with that, but if it was taken even further and healers were removed altogether I would have to find me something else to play!
@DancePuppets - I think part of WoW is people will always be able to find things to number crunch if that's what they like. The new talents and how they interact should be ripe with these kinds of opportunities. If you yourself are a number cruncher, I imagine you can work out which talents would be the best for your guild's raid group, your spec, and even each specific fight. Honestly, I expect to see even more number crunching than usual in the future ;).
Agreed on class roles though, healing is something I really enjoy and I like to think I'm quite good at. I'd be very sad if they took it out of the game.

It says my code is invalid to purchase tickets to the party. Am I too late?
Just a little confused, if you're purchasing VIP tickets can you choose between pit and seats or do they assign it for you? If anyone who did VIP knows that'd be great!

You can choose between pit or the first 15 rows... up to you!
Also, can is there a limit on how many VIP tickets you can buy? I need two....

Crash0 Reviews
Ok, this one is the episode "Simple Minds," when Delilah and Julius are about to crash on the airplane.
We're going down
We're gonna crash
enough pain to go around
As my head hits the dash
There's one thing
I want you to know
If we do die or something
And I'm going to tell you so
I've been hiding this all along
Hiding my feelings from you
My heart felt like it didn't belong
I don't know what to do
I'm sorry it had to be this way
To tell you before death
But I will be with you always
Even with our last breath
Let me hold your hand
I want you to be the last person I see
For to see you in pain I can't stand
And for it's you I need
What I'm meaning to say
Is I love you
But it's too late anyway
For there's nothing left to say or do
I feel pain as we hit the ground
Then suddenly it's so unclear
That my memories can't be found
What did happen? Is that what I fear?
Please tell me
what's going on
I don't know what to belive
For in a second it's all gone
Why won't you tell me
What really happened?

Oh, if you asked me to describe episodes 19-20 in one word, I would most definitely say: painful. The transformation of Ok Jung from a kind girl who aspired to make the best clothes has become a woman of ambition and ruthlessness is hard to watch. We understand her, sure. But I think based on this week, she's turned into something else. With her ascension as Queen, it has made her very unstable and paranoid. But that's what at the top means. She thought it would've brought her happiness, but it didn't. And also, I just read something on Tumblr: understanding someone's back story explains their behaviour but does not excuse it. YES! Thank you. We understand Ok Jung's behaviour, but it does not excuse her from all the bad things that she has done this week. God, I didn't actually even think that she would get this extreme.
What's even more painful is that Sukjong is beginning to grow distant from her. He knows what she's done, but he's keeping it hidden because he doesn't want to face that truth, or at least, not yet (this is what I think, at least). It obviously hurts him that no one can accept her properly like they did with Queen Inhyeon (a fact that upsets him), but he's doing what he does so that he can make a better future for his son. I still like Sukjong, but he isn't exactly the world's greatest or nicest person. But at least there's a character flaw.
Watching their love story crumble into nothing, it hurts. We know their past, we know what they were like – to see it so different and distant, it hurts. I actually had to pause the episodes several times and calm myself because I could actually feel second-hand embarrassment for Ok Jung. It hurts to see her. It's also very frustrating and annoying that it turned out this way; again, we were all expecting something so very different.
What's left is the ending. The doomed ending. Sukjong will most definitely let go of Ok Jung's hand…
Explaining the title: Ok Jung's ascension to Queen is nothing but misery for her, Sukjong is disappointed with the results of change in political state as the Southern faction proves to be incompetent and unable to carry out his wishes, and our innocent-looking evil Choi Suk-bin "wins" the king's favor, giving rise to another flower from the Western faction.
Oh, the final war begins now.
(Also: I'm really sorry for this extremely delayed post to anyone who was waiting. I had trouble writing this and I had so much to do this past week. I know. Excuses, excuses. I'll try better next time, if anyone is still out there reading. There's only four episodes left, hopefully I survive without ripping my own hair out.)
So, let's begin with episode 19. The scene opens with Sukjong and Inhyeon talking. Obviously, Inhyeon already knows that something bad is going to happen. I feel like these two have a sense of fake politeness, or at least, that applies to Sukjong. He smiles and is polite to the queen, but he has this underlying dissatisfaction with her and continues to attack her indirectly with his words. Of course, Inhyeon recalls what she said once about her dream and her father warns her: be careful about what you say in front of the king. Perhaps because he will use it against her, and yes, Sukjong ends up doing just that.
We flashback to the scene where we left off in episode 18 with Sukjong earnestly asking for the deposal of Queen Inhyeon.
However, as soon as Sukjong utters those words, both the Western faction and Southern faction go into a turmoil. The Western faction will obviously be against it, but even one of the ministers from the Southern faction says that it is something that should not be taken lightly. For the Queen to be deposed, there needs to be justification or else the citizens will not accept it. In truth, Inhyeon really doesn't done anything wrong, but Sukjong wants to get rid of her so that he can grow his absolute power as well as pave a better path for his son and Ok Jung.
Sukjong asks the ministers: If I give you the life of Min Yoo Joong, will you accept my wish of the queen's deposal?
If Inhyeon remains, the Western Faction will still continue to grow and cause massive problems to Ok Jung and her son, Yoon.
Nonetheless, I was a bit shocked. Why? I didn't expect Ok Jung to be all fierce and vicious, demanding the Southern faction ministers: WHEN CAN I BECOME QUEEN?
Indeed, there's that infamous greedy Jang Hee Bin. And, well, I didn't like it. She's also getting very impatient as well. But one should be careful what they wish for, right?
Ok Jung then calls upon the whole Southern Faction to discuss with them.
She asks them how much longer she has to wait before she can sit in the Queen's spot. Of course, they give their side to the argument and Ok Jung smiles and cheekily asks: since when have I followed the rules? Indeed, Ok Jung is a woman that wrote down new history, being the first woman on a non-noble class to rise to the power of Queen.
Of course, I thought that Jo Sa Seok felt a bit unsettled watching this "new" Ok Jung, but he was also the one that hoped that she would have a little greed/ambition. Well, here it is. Her elder brother, Jang Hee Jae, seems to be eating up this opportunity. He's been the greedy one from the start without a kind bone in his body, unlike his sister. He's also very rash compared to Ok Jung who has been said to "think things through." And that's right. Ok Jung is cunningly smart. If she hadn't been smart, she would've never survived.
We have another conversation between Prince Dong Pyeong and Sukjong. Prince Dong Pyeong worries that Sukjong's actions have been to reckless – how could he ever think about deposing of the current Queen? Of course, Sukjong explains it to him that it is all for his son, and in order to make Yoon's future better, he has to change the status of his mother, Ok Jung. Ok Jung's status will only become a weak point for Yoon if she continues to stay the way she is. If Sukjong doesn't get rid of Min Yoo Joong at this point, the suffering will continue.
Of course, Prince Dong Pyeong seems to be greatly worried about Ok Jung. Oh, when is he ever not?
We have the final battle between Sukjong and Min Yoo Joong before the deposal of Queen Inhyeon. Min Yoo Joong is protesting and argues that Sukjong cannot get rid of Inhyeon because there is no justification for it. Sukjong fires back that if he can find that justification, will they accept Inhyeon's deposal?
Sukjong does have tricks up his sleeves. He lists the different legitimate reasons that Inhyeon could be deposed. The prime one would be "jealousy" (투기). Inhyeon came to tell Sukjong that Ok Jung was a beast reincarnated in the form of a woman that was shot by the king and thus, she would be unable to bear children. However, Ok Jung gave birth to a son. He also lists the fact that Inhyeon doesn't have a son and she also insulted the memory of the Queen Mother through her talk of her nightmare about Ok Jung.
Min Yoo Joong is left speechless, and he falls once again.
On the other hand, hearing this news, Inhyeon cannot allow her father to be killed. She goes to talk to Sukjong about it, and makes her own deal.
She asks the King not to kill her father, but Sukjong says that it cannot be helped.
Sukjong: That's politics—they want your fahter's life and your deposal.
Inhyeon: Then I'll accept my deposal, but in turn, please save my father.
Sukjong: Then I have nothing to give to the Southern faction.
Inhyeon: I saved your son from being assassinated while you were unconscious. This is a fair trade, is it not?
Or something like that. I like the fact that even though Inhyeon herself is a dangerous situation, she thinks about her family before herself. I also admire that she can handle Sukjong himself and not be afraid of him. She knows how to work her way around him. She's not someone that's particularly strong, but she's not helpless and weak either.
Thus, Sukjong agrees to her request, and lays down his order: Inhyeon is to be deposed and stirpped of her title as Queen and Jang Hee Bin (Jang Ok Jung) is to appointed to Queen, and her parents get their respective titles.
Ok Jung then goes to visit Sukjong to give her gratitude and thanks. However, her happiness is disturbed when she sees Choi Suk-bin passing by her, almost as a subtle threat. Oooh, things are getting interesting.
It's almost a foreshadowing of the ominous future. As Inhyeon is cast away, a new threat arises and dares to take Ok Jung's everything away from her…
Ok Jung is quite terrified at this point and it shows her first fears of how there might be another woman for Sukjong that appears. Instead, she discovers Sukjong with their baby. And he tells her that he has left a gift for her. He says that everything that has been done is for the promise that he made her. Ah, but how long will that promise last? I think we're reaching an end.
Ok Jung returns to her chambers, only to discover that Sukjong has presented her with the best clothes that a woman could ever wear…
Truly, it's gorgeous. And with that, we have the coronation of Jang Ok Jung into the new queen of Joseon. I was glad to see them so happy, for once, after everything that happened. Despite the pain, I still think they love each other. However, I have to note that Prince Dong Pyeong didn't look to happy. Of course, he's always thinking about what could go wrong with Ok Jung even though it's no longer in his place.
On the other hand…
The scene where Inhyeon is dressed in the complete white hanbok was a very emotional scene. Especially when Ok Jung came in. It was a very intense, yet sad scene. They confront each other for one last time (at least for now) and exchange their words. They're still in battle against one another and they always will be. And yet, they both try to appear strong when facing each other. In a way, they're both being used politically as pawns and they will continue to be used. I'm anticipating that Choi Suk-bin will become a political tool for Sukjong.
They want to show one another that there's nothing wrong, when they're both breaking apart on the inside. Visibly, they are both shaken by one another.
However, it was really frustrating for me. While I want to cheer on Ok Jung and be happy for her success, I'm also dreading what Inhyeon says because it's all true. Ok Jung's doom began as soon as she sat on that throne. Her misery and paranoia began then, and it's only going to get worse. It hurts. It was painful watching this scene.
After listening to all that Inhyeon has to say to Ok Jung, she basically predicts the future. She tells Ok Jung that one day, she will return to the palace. She warns Ok Jung of the future and to be careful of the King, repeating those words: the king is no longer a man, but simply the king.
Oh, this scene hurt. BECAUSE WE ALL KNEW INHYEON WAS RIGHT.
However, Ok Jung isn't the type to take anything silently. She tells Inhyeon: Don't blame me so much. Everything I did, it was for love.
Inhyeon doesn't really seem to take this to heart, but instead says: This might the start of your unhappiness, as this position as Queen is can be stolen or lost. Let's see how long you last.
Ok Jung vows that she will not endure, but that she will protect her position, no matter what it takes.
It's also interesting that Inhyeon got a visit from the shaman, who predicted that Inhyeon will die in the very spot as a Queen. Indeed, she does die a Queen, but she dies at the age of 35. It's considered quite young now, but back then, I'm pretty sure it wasn't considered that young.
Well, this just gives Inhyeon more hope and confidence. Eh, I don't know if I like that, but whatever.
Sukjong shares another conversation with Prince Dong Pyeong, saying that despite making a promise to his mother, he couldn't protect Inhyeon in the end. Prince Dong Pyeong tries to reassure him by saying that he did all for the Crown Prince and Ok Jung.
Oh, the situation that I feared has come upon us. Things got heated up between Jang Hyun and Ok Jung this past week. Jang Hyun demands that Ok Jung keeps her promise of making him the father-in-law to the king, but Ok Jung says that it is not that easy for the king has already made up his mind. And of course, after learning the truth that Jang Hyun was the one that actually killed her teacher, I don't think that she's going to do him any more favours.
While I want to cheer for Ok Jung in that manner, I also fear this situation. Remember when I said that I was scared that Jang Hyun's own greed might lead Ok Jung to her own doom? Well, I'm thinking that Jang Hyun might contribute to a little bit of it.
It's interesting how as Jang Hyun leaves, he states: Ok Jung… Since you've gotten a taste of power, you've gone completely blind. I don't know exactly about that, but I don't think Ok Jung really wants to associate herself with Jang Hyun anymore. She's never really liked him from the beginning. She used him to get what she wanted, and now, possibly, she wants to throw him away.
He knows that she won't keep her promise, making her an enemy of his.
On the other hand, despite the fact that Inhyeon has been sent out of the palace, she still maintains hope. She knows that she will find her way back to her rightful spot, and her servant is touched by her own hope.
For the first time, we see interaction between Inhyeon and Choi Suk-bin, and they will form an alliance to bring down Ok Jung… They seem very friendly with one another, even from the beginning.
Ok Jung, ever since her ascension to queen, seems to be plagued with nightmares. Ah, the poor girl. She dreams of another woman (in this case, Inhyeon) taking Sukjong away from her. Ok Jung needs to realize that there's a bigger problem that Inhyeon which is Choi Suk-bin.
In her anxiety and panicked state, she rushes to go find out where the King is. She doesn't believe the servant when he says that Sukjong is still doing work and she marches right in. As soon as she lays her eyes on the palace maid, she goes to slap her, demanding what she is doing… but only goes to realize that she has made a fool out of herself and embarrassed the king. Oh, I was feeling second hand embarrassment for Ok Jung. I had to pause the scene, calm myself, and then move on.
Uh-oh. She messed up.
Later on, Ok Jung deeply regrets what she has done. While she's still fretting over the events that have happened, Prince Dong Pyeong comes and visits her. Another dangerous thing to do.
Prince Dong Pyeong asks if she's alright, and she says that she is fine. In a moment of his desire, he reaches out to stroke her cheek. Ok Jung is horrified and pulls away, and Prince Dong Pyeong is shocked by his own actions. He apologizes. Ok Jung, being the king girl that she is (or whatever is left of her in there) says that Prince Dong Pyeong doesn't have to worry about her anymore. He says yes, I have let go of my worries for a long time.
Little did they know that Sukjong was watching from a distance, and possibly, for the first time realizing what a dangerous presence Prince Dong Pyeong is around Ok Jung. Ah, Ok Jung notices a little too late, while Dong Pyeong remains oblivious to the whole situation.
I was worried that Sukjong would fly into a rage without knowing the true story, but he doesn't show his anger right away. Instead, he walks away, and deals with them individually later.
This scene was interesting. Hyun Mu confronts Prince Dong Pyeong about his actions and tells him to stop expressing his feelings of love for the queen. Prince Dong Pyeong asks what is he talking about and Hyun Mu reveals without hesitation that Sukjong saw the whole thing, making Dong Pyeong fall into a state of shock and deep worry. Hyun Mu says that he doesn't care about anything or anyone else except the king and says that if he pushes Sukjong into more loneliness than he is now, he will not forgive Prince Dong Pyeong.
Awwwww, what dedication.
But I feel that Sukjong will bring that loneliness upon himself.
Of course, there are more political struggles. Even with the change of state and placing the Southern faction into power, Sukjong continues to be dissatisfied with the way things are going. It appears that the Southern faction is not carrying out their tasks as efficiently as the Western faction has been.
I don't know whether or not it was really like this in actual history. I just know that Sukjong brought back the Western faction after the Southern Faction grew too strong in power, and they were never able to recover from that again.
Really, all Sukjong wants is for the ministers to do their jobs correctly and efficiently. And apparently, that's too much to ask for.
The final conversation between Sukjong and Prince Dong Pyeong might have been one of the most intense, strained, and scariest conversations they've ever had. Of course, Sukjong still cares enough to share the news of politics with Prince Dong Pyeong, but he shows his hidden wrath by bringing up the topic of Ok Jung.
When Sukjong voices his thoughts about his disappointment and dissatisfaction of the Southern faction, Prince Dong Pyeong says that it is probably because they have not been in power for a long time and they haven't had a chance to be exposed to certain tasks. In other words, they're a little bit rusty.
However, the atmosphere of the conversation changes quite suddenly when Sukjong asks when Prince Dong Pyeong is leaving and also questions him about how long he has known Ok Jung. Of course, Prince Dong Pyeong lies because he doesn't want to hurt the king nor get caught about the fact that he loves Ok Jung. But Sukjong seems to know something, and that leaves Prince Dong Pyeong terrified.
It's an unsaid threat. The possessive way that he calls Ok Jung "Our Ok Jung," basically referring to the fact that she's his. While Sukjong may seem distant to Ok Jung at times, he cannot bear for her to be taken away from him. Or something like that.
He goes on to say that he and Ok Jung share a "great destiny" together. Indeed, they do.
I think, for the first time, Prince Dong Pyeong feels the fear that he has for the person that he loves most, Sukjong. Let's hope that their relationship doesn't go too strained anymore… it would be sad if that happened. Sukjong would continue to lose people that he wants to keep close.
Prince Dong Pyeong realizes his fear and the danger of his situation.
We reach an end to episode 19 with Hyun Chi Soo finding out a horrible truth. He learns that Ok Jung tried to overthrow the current Queen by poisoning herself and flies into a fit of rage. He's angry that she would risk her own "precious life" to stay beside the King. I don't think he realizes or wants to acknowledge the fact that she is in love with someone else, and if he can't respect that like Prince Dong Pyeong, then he's a selfish man.
The scene ends with a three-way meeting between Hyun Chi Soo, Jang Ok Jung, and Sukjong. Of course, Sukjong doesn't know the relationship between Ok Jung and Chi Soo (but I wonder if it will be discovered in the end). I think Sukjong notices that Chi Soo seems to be posing a threatening presence to Ok Jung by the way she seems to shaken up.
And I was screaming the whole time: CHI SOO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Oh, of course, Chi Soo goes to stir the waters by telling the king that he has heard a disturbing rumour that Ok Jung was poisoned and both Ok Jung and Sukjong fall into immediate shock. Of course, Sukjong is quick to recover and puts on a calm face. I like the fact that he guides Ok Jung through it, making sure that it's going to be okay. He later asks that OK Jung takes care of the rumour circling in the women's court, and he will do the same as well.
Sukjong tells Chi Soo that it has simply become a distorted truth. I feel like if anything he wants to bury this hateful truth for if he reveals it, he could lose Ok Jung in the process. I don't think he is prepared to do that yet.
After meeting with the King, Ok Jung gets Chi Soo alone. She tells him to stay away from the King, but Chi Soo has no intention to do so saying that Sukjong needs him. Ok Jung says that she is not joking and Chi Soo tells her right back that he isn't joking either. Sadly, these two have ended up in a war against each other and it is the last thing that Ok Jung wanted.
Chi Soo: What are you so afraid of? You were given everything you wanted. Why are you so miserable and worried?
And in that moment, we realize that he knows. He knows how paranoid she is, how unhappy she is. Despite the fact that she has gotten everything, she is in the most unstable state of mind. Being at the top can be a taxing thing. He also knows that Sukjong is a scarier person than you know and tells Ok Jung that the only reason he saved Ok Jung was because she had something he wanted which was his child.
However, Ok Jung cannot face such a cruel and horrible truth because that would hurt too much. She wants to believe in their love, but Sukjong already knows something. He's just keeping silent about it.
The next few days, Ok Jung is disturbed to see how the palace maids go around mimicking her. We can obviously tell that she's not easily accepted as Inhyeon was. She's obviously seen as a temptress that seduced the king into getting what she wants. Little do they know the true story, and they will probably never know it. She almost loses her temper when she sees two palace maids trip in front of the king, in hopes to get his attention.
I found it interesting that we get a capture of Choi Suk-bin, looking disgusted by what her fellow palace maids are doing.
Court Lady Uhm says to Ok Jung: Shall I bring them over here to be punished? But I admired Ok Jung for repressing her temper and sadly says that it's nothing that's false. They paint her in a bad way. Her image is being distorted and it has been from the beginning, and I guess that will be how she will be remembered.
However, later that night, Ok Jung goes to seek revenge on those two palace maids that tripped themselves in front of the king. I thought she would just give them a warning, but no, she takes it to the extremes. She does the exact same thing that the Queen Mother did and says the same words; I feel like she crossed a new line here, making herself more evil than before. I simply didn't like the way she handled this. But I guess jealously makes people do ugly things, eh? Like I said, we may understand why she does this, but it doesn't excuse her behaviour. It isn't up to her to decide what to do with another girl's body. Sigh.
The palace maids vow to never do it again, but Ok Jung will hear none of their excuses. Scary!
But Ok Jung proves not to be completely evil. She sees herself struggling in the palace maid and tells them to stop. Tear-eyed and heartbroken, she turns herself away. Is it too late? I do not know. But I am glad that she had enough sense to stop.
Another figure that has me constantly worried is Ok Jung's greedy brother, Jang Hee Jae. He's obviously power hungry, but he's not the sharpest crayon in the box. Like I said before, he's rash and doesn't think things through. However, his dedication to his sister and his protectiveness over her is something that should be noted, I guess.
Like before, he vows to get rid of any obstacle that gets in her way. I think this foreshadows the future obstacle Choi Suk-bin. Sources say that Jang Hee Jae was sentenced to death because he was accused of cursing Choi Suk-bin but other sources say that he was involved with the cursing of Queen Inhyeon alongside Ok Jung. Either way, he was executed, but I believe he was killed before Ok Jung was. I might be wrong though.
Anyways, this leads to Jang Hee Jae saying that he will get rid of Chi Soo, but the assassination attempt does not succeed.
Chi Soo seems speechless by this whole ordeal, like he's unsure what to make out of it. By knowing that Jang Hee Jae was behind this, he knows that Ok Jung must be involved. I guess it's the moment that he realizes that Ok Jung was serious about her threat, but Chi Soo is also serious about his. I'm not sure what to make of him.
I don't know whether or not he still loves her, or if it's turned into hate. I don't think it's hate. It's more like he doesn't want anyone else to have her but him. It's just, it's hard to imagine that he genuinely loves her after he sets his mind to destroying everything she has. He wants to ruin her.
I don't know if that's because he can't forgive her for falling in love with the King or if it's because he thinks she will come to him after she has lost everything. If it's the latter, that's a twisted method and Ok Jung will never say yes to him. Or maybe, he's just decided that Ok Jung cannot be saved and thinks of her as a lost cause. In short, Chi Soo has lost his mind.
Another threat comes Ok Jung's way in the form of Jang Hyun.
Jang Hyun: Do you know what I've done for you? I've got blood on my hands for you…
Again, this is why I said that he would lead her to her downfall. Or he has a strong chance to bring her down. He's done a lot for her but if she's not willing to pay her promise, he threatens to tear her down. Ok Jung is scared but their conversation is interrupted with the arrival of the King. It's just my feeling, but I think Sukjong can tell that there is something going on between the two of them… and it unsettles him.
On the other hand, Chi Soo and Inhyeon meet one another, knowing that they're on the same side.
It's interesting how Inhyeon asks Chi Soo whether business is the only thing that he wants. He replies saying that there is one other thing that he wants, but he wishes not to disclose it to her. Obviously, it's Ok Jung. Who else?
Once again, Sukjong's dissatisfaction with the way politics is going only continues to grow. The Southern faction's abilities pale in comparison to those of the Western faction. Nothing is going the way he wants it to, even though he did everything to change it. That is why it is an unexpected result that comes to hit Sukjong.
Another cute moment was that Sukjong still has a soft spot for our kind-hearted Queen Inkyeong. Awww, historically, I think they had a pretty good relationship.
While spending some time outside of the palace, Sukjong happens to hear a lovely yet amusing song sung by the children. It has an almost addicting tune, seeing as how easily it is catching along amongst the young population.
He asks a citizen the meaning of the song. She explains it, saying that one flower will soon wilt, and the other one will bloom even once the ice melts. It's symbolic in saying that even though the King has fallen completely for Jang Ok Jung, the deposed Queen Inhyeon will return back to the throne. Of course, this comes as a big shock to Sukjong. He wants to be good for his citizens (and they do think he is good), but they just wish that he would turn away from the temptress. And who is behind this masterpiece? Chi Soo.
An alliance is formed between Chi Soo and Inhyeon with the help of Choi Suk-bin, who will become their new key player, their new "flower" to sway the king's mind. Of course Inhyeon is skeptical to this whole idea since Ok Jung and Sukjong are just "destined lovers."
Ooooh, is it bad to say that I sort of really loved how evil Choi Suk-bin was? As for her acting, I'm not sure. Many people don't seem happy with it (I'm talking about Korean netizens here) but I think it's passable. I'm not cringing, or anything. We're only going to see her for a little bit more, so I guess it's not that big of a deal.
Chi Soo convinces Inhyeon that no matter how strong a relationship is, there is always a weak spot somewhere and he will target it using Choi Suk-bin.
Back at the palace, Sukjong continues to think about the song and falls into another confused state where he debates his choices. I think it's in moments like these that he really seems "lonely" as a king, and how he suffers. He wants to do the right thing but it's never the easy choice. He has to make sacrifices – in order to gain something, he must give something up. And in the end, to gain his absolute power, he will for sure abandon the love of his life, Ok Jung. He will let go of her hand. There really isn't a way that it can be happy, at this point. Historically, Ok Jung dies. That's how it is. That's how history is written.
Eventually, he comes to talk to Ok Jung. She is initially glad that he comes to see her because she hasn't seen him in a while, but Sukjong coldly states to her that today, he has come to see her as the queen, and not as Ok Jung. His seriousness during the whole conversation makes her worry, and she wonders if she has done anything wrong.
Sukjong: The king needs to fear the public sentiment/people's mind (민심) for their thoughts can become justification for the king's actions. No one is good from the beginning. People make mistakes. However, if a person continues to make mistakes over and over again, it becomes a fault. And that person must pay for their fault.
It's almost a subtle warning that he gives her. He asks Ok Jung to embrace the minds of the people more. Of course, Ok Jung should try, but I do not know whether or not the citizens will accept her so easily.
The Western faction begins to move saying that they should send a "flower" to the King and Chi Soo says that he has a fair flower in mind, referring to our evil seductress, Choi Suk-bin. And of course, Inhyeon helps as well. Choi Suk-bin is not an easy girl, she knows what she wants and she's fierce enough to get it.
My God, she's so fierce. I loved her in this scene. She doesn't let people push her around.
I found it intriguing that Sukjong suddenly begins to investigate his mother's death, realizing that the doctors put too much medicine in than they were supposed to. Of course the criminal turns out to Jang Hyun and Sukjong debates once again, what he should do.
Sukjong falls into another struggle and contemplates the question that continues to haunt his mind: Can I truly trust no one? Can I truly keep no one by my side, even though I love them? My heart goes out to Sukjong.
However, to ease his anxious mind, Sukjong decides to go on a walk. Of course, while he is walking, he notices that there is a building that is lit. Curious, he goes inside, only to discover Choi Suk-bin for the first time. He falls into the Western faction trap. Choi Suk-bin appears to be holding a small celebration for the deposed Queen's birthday. Interested, Sukjong sits down.
Historically, they say that Sukjong fell in love with Choi Suk-bin's kind hearted motives when he first discovered her praying for Inhyeon's well-being. Some sources say that she was a palace maid serving under Inhyeon, but most of them say that she was a musuri (meaning water maid). Water maids were one of the lowest statuses amongst women. They were not considered to be official palace maids and they did a lot of miscellaneous tasks and the most difficult tasks (ex. getting water because they used wells back then). Water maids also didn't live in the palace. Every morning, they would come to work and by the evening, they left to go back home.
It's safe to say that Choi Suk-bin's class was lower than Ok Jung's.
(Oh, she's ready, alright.)
Sukjong seems shocked that there is another person in here and asks what she is doing. He isn't at all upset that she's holding a small ceremony to celebrate the deposed Queen's birthday, which was probably considered a crime back then. He talks to her, and she acts as innocent as possible. But our King is smarter than that. He continues to have a conversation with her.
He asks her what her job in the palace is and he comments that her work must be hard. She says that it is difficult (something that is considered quite bold to say back then) and continues to go on saying that she wants to quickly escape from these tasks.
Sukjong: What do you want to do then?
Choi Suk-bin: I want to serve you, my King. (*)
*which basically is saying that she wants to sleep with the king and receive his favor. Again, this girl is stepping over her boundaries but clearly she doesn't care. She knows what she wants and she's not afraid to say it.
Sukjong is left speechless by his words, and in that moment, it all clicks together. He can see that it's a trap, it's a situation that someone has created in order to use him. He plays along, but he's too smart to give in. Ah, this is why I fell in love with Sukjong.
When the lights go out, Inhyeon gets the news. She seems a bit shocked, wondering how easily the bonds between Ok Jung and Sukjong is broken. Little does she know the truth behind it.
The truth behind this meeting is that Sujong didn't actually sleep with Choi Suk-bin. They created the illusion that it did. They made it seem like it happened. In this case, Sukjong doesn't win much of anything, but Choi Suk-bin wins because she can now be released from her everyday duties. If she becomes a special sang-goong like Ok Jung had in the beginning, she could live the rest of her life in the palace without doing anything. Of course, it'd be a lonely life since the King only looked upon her once. But we all know that Sukjong will be coming back for more (no matter how painful that is for Ok Jung).
Things were getting hot and heavy, but he laughs then. To her shock, she's confused and a bit humiliated. But she played with the King first, so he played her back. I think it's in this moment that Choi Suk-bin realizes that the king shouldn't be taken so lightly nor should be underestimated.
However, either way, in the morning, the news that Sukjong slept with another woman is widespread. Ok Jung is devastated and demands that the girl be brought to her immediately. The Southern faction is going into panic mainly because they say that the palace maid was to be on the Western faction side. The Western faction sees hope saying that this may mean that the king is turning back to their side again.
The birth of the new flower.
There's another important scene that I wanted to comment on. After "spending the night" with Choi Suk-bin, deep in the night Sukjong comes to visit a sleeping Ok Jung. He sits there and watches her sleep for a long time, thinking about something. I'm not sure what. Is he thinking that he's sorry? Is thinking that there was no other way? Is he thinking he loves her but it's time to let her go? I don't know. But I think this scene does prove that Sukjong is still very much in love with Ok Jung no matter what she has done. It's almost as if he's saying goodbye in a very silent way. Ok Jung wakes up alone.
Does this mean that he's slowly letting her go?
I found it interesting that the song lyrics in the background were saying: I can't throw you away. It's almost ironic, in a way.
However, everything seems to go wrong as soon as Ok Jung drags Choi Suk-bin to her. She gets out the stick and begins to whip at her legs. OUCH! Historically, though, I've come across sources that said that this exact thing happened between Inhyeon and Ok Jung. Inhyeon hit Ok Jung in the legs and Sukjong was very anxious about it at the time, as stated in the Annals of Sukjong. Anyways, Choi Suk-bin and Jang Hee Bin never got off to a good start.
However, Sukjong comes along and discovers this and demands what she has done. He asks her: Is this the type of person you are when I'm not looking? It got me curious.
Is he acting? Or is he genuinely horrified?
He knows that this is the girl who poisoned herself to try and get rid of the Queen – what makes him that she would have done this? Instead of blaming it on Ok Jung, did he stop to think about his own actions and what might've happened? I'm just asking questions here. Either way, knowing Sukjong, I feel that there might be something else. Who knows?
Nonetheless Choi Suk-bin uses the same tricks as Ok Jung once did. It's a complete reversal in the situation, and it's ironic and painful at the same time.
I might've said that this week made me lose my faith even more, but the episode reviews for this week seem to be good. I haven't seen them yet, I'll do so tomorrow. I didn't edit this either (because I'm so lazy) but I'll come around to maybe some other time. Thank you for reading, and I'm sorry if I caused you to wait.
Thank you!

The Zookeeper's Wife: A War Story (Large Print) (Large Print Press)by Diane Ackerman
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
the New York Times bestseller: a true story in which the keepers of the Warsaw zoo saved hundreds of people from Nazi hands.
When Germany invaded poland, stuka bombers devastated warsaw--and the city's zoo along with it. With most of their animals dead, zookeepers Jan and Antonina Zabinski began smuggling Jews into empty cages. Another dozen guests hid inside the Zabinskis' villa, emerging after dark for dinner, socializing, and, during rare moments of calm, piano concerts. Jan, active in the polish resistance, kept ammunition buried in the elephant enclosure and stashed explosives in the animal hospital. Meanwhile, Antonina kept her unusual household afloat, caring for both its human and its animal inhabitants--otters, a badger, hyena pups, lynxes.
with her exuberant prose and exquisite sensitivity to the natural world, Diane Ackerman engages us viscerally in the lives of the zoo animals, their keepers, and their hidden visitors. She shows us how Antonina refused to give in to the penetrating fear of discovery, keeping alive an atmosphere of play and innocence even as Europe crumbled around her. 8 pages of illustrations.

Nostalgia: The Recipes Our Fathers Have Taught Us
Dads who cook get short shrift. While talk around Mother's Day centers around the recipes that Mom taught us, and all the lessons we've learned from her, the best Dad gets are some *hot* new tools for the grill, or an ugly tie.
But for those of us whose fathers know a thing or two about the kitchen, and would rather have a new set of carving tools than carpentry tools, Father's Day is as good a time as any to thank Dad for what we've learned from him.
Growing up, my mother took charge of the kitchen, shooing my dad away. But when he got in there to cook, the things he made were without compare. Mom was the one who made healthy dinners with lots of green vegetables, Dad was the one who added an extra stick of butter.
Mom taught me to take pride in my food - making everything pretty and nutritious. But Dad still teaches me to take joy in my cooking - how to relax and take the pressure off as I experiment to see what happens, or how to gild the lily by making things richer. It's because of him that I use words like indulge as I stir extra cheesy buttery grits, just like Dad makes.
His buttermilk cornbread recipe is still the one I use, and I keep meaning to call him to get his barbecue sauce recipe. And when it comes to feeding a crowd, Dad's got down the easy, affordable party hors d'oeuvres that please.
Does your dad cook? What are the recipes he's taught you that you cherish most?

My father was an awesome cook -- very much about the joy and richness that our father talked about. Unfortunately I never truly appreciated it since I ate out so much before going to college.
your father talks about*
Or maybe there's something I don't know about you... :)
My dad did all the everyday cooking, and was quite good at it. It's fun to watch him now that he doesn't just make what my mom decides will be dinner for the week (she did the budgeting/shopping). I was visiting them recently and he called me into the kitchen to show me something - he'd bought a bottle of truffle oil. The joke was that he went deer hunting every year to drink and cook all the guys breakfast, which seems about right since I know he never had a gun.
My dad can grill like the rest of them, but one thing he made that my brother and I still talk about are his few salads. Lettuce, tomato, cheese, carrots, (the standards) and then he'd throw in plums, pickles and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles CEREAL!
My brother (who was 3 or 4 at the time) of course thought it was the coolest thing ever. Mom was always horrified.
My dad taught me how to make sauce. All kinds of sauce. From stretching and embellishing a basic jar of "tomato sauce" to fancy pants hollandaise. I will always appreciate this as a good sauce covers a multitude of sins. He totally rocks.
My dad was a great grill man, but he also ruled the kitchen for breakfasts--scrambled eggs, pancakes, eggs with tomatoes and garlic, sausage, bacon, breakfast sandwiches, on and on. He also did a lot of broiled fish and shellfish.
My dad is the one who inspired my love of food and taught me how to cook. My parents are divorced and I grew up splitting my time between houses. My mother hardly ever cooked and fed my sister and I microwave meals. My dad, on the other hand, made us homemade dinner every single night we were with him and we always ate dinner together. He is the one who taught me importance of good food and eating together. It's nice to see the dads getting some credit.
My dad was the grill master in the summer and, when there wasn't much in the cabinets, he'd raid the spice rack and make a jar of tomato sauce sing. From my father I learned the joy of experimenting.
Thanks for asking!
My dad taught me how to cut open a can of tuna with a knife. Also, how to fry a dozen eggs and eat them in one sitting, after consuming large amounts of alcohol.
I love my dad.
A couple favourite comfort-food recipes in my family cookbook are "Daddy Macaroni" and "Daddy Meatloaf". My parents generally shared the cooking, but those were two of HIS specials. I still prefer my Dad's baked macaroni and cheese to any other that I've tried. And I loved helping with the meatloaf as a kid because you got to mush and mix it with your hands.
One of my favorite 'Dad" recipes is a simple one.
Grilled Bacon Jalepenos....
Cut off the top of the jalepenos stuff with pepper jack cheese, wrap with bacon then grill...
I can seriously eat at least 20 of these, I don't care if i look like a fat ass!
My favorite memory of my Dad cooking was when he spit roasted a turkey in the fireplace in our basement one year.
He had built a room in the basement into an English pub. There were pictures of naked ladies there. Let's just say I was the most popular kid in the neighborhood (when my parents were gone).
My Dad is an awesome cook. One of my fondest memories are of him making salami soup for us kids. Sounds awful but that stuff was the bomb. When my son was small, I made it for him too. Good stuff.
My dad wasn't much of a cook, but sometimes he'd do the roll-your-own taco/burrito thing: Crisp fried corn tortillas, warmed-up flour tortillas, bowls of ground beef with chile seasoning, refried beans, salsa (from a bottle), hot sauce (also from a bottle) grated cheese, shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, chopped onion, all laid out on the table--the food part of the most fun dinners I had with him and my sisters.
Naturally, I do it now with my kid.
Wow. I'm envious of all your culinary dads. Mine doesn't cook - he barbecues stuff, but only if my mother or I do the prep work.
If my mother goes out of town for a weekend, he manages to eat out every night, between going to restaurants and being invited places for dinner.
My father has always gone through phases of a recipe. There was the summer he made French bread every few days, or the fall we ate his broiled chicken breast with black pepper recipe every night. My parents generally split the cooking, and my mother always took over when we had guests, but my father is the better cook. He learned from his grandfather, who cooked for my father's family when he was growing up. (My grandmother was a physician, and couldn't be bothered with things like cooking-- thankfully father-in-law, husband and sons took over!)
First my dad taught me that everything's easier if you make a list. We were the only family I knew that had a weekly menu on our fridge. Second, that everything taste's better with butter, including a simple omelet. Third, the joys making and eating Antiguan style saltfish, sliced hard-boiled eggs and fresh hardo bread on a Sunday morning.
Do you eat ackee in Antigua?
