Wild green onion pancake

Are you enjoying the early spring? Is there any way to inhale and eat the spring? This is my way to feel the spring: I made a pancake from wild green onions called “sandallae” in Korean.

Sandallae is everywhere these days and it’s soft enough to eat.

The most exciting thing about this pancake is that I didn’t pay any money for the main ingredient!  Yaho! : ) I picked the sandallae in Central Park.

I picked only a handful, enough for 1 pancake. Yes, I thanked the ground where it grew for giving me this wonderful harvest! I didn’t pull out the bulbs so more will grow. The only bulb I picked is in the photo below, which I picked so I could show you what it looks like:

Going to YouTube Nextup Creator Camp

Hello everyone!

Tomorrow the YouTube Creator Camp begins. It’s 5 days here in New York City and I’m going to stay in the same hotel where the other 24 YouTube Nextup creators will be staying.

The schedule is jam packed every day, and I’m so excited to meet everybody. Our YouTube channels are all so different and varied. They’re from all over America, arriving in New York tonight. Before meeting, we’ve already exchanged ideas for new videos we’re going to make. I’m looking forward to learning something new from the YouTube experts and my peers.

I’m a little tired already, as all morning I’ve been preparing 2 huge pots of sweet red beans. I’m going to make patbingsu for more than 100 people at the camp. This is for a video that I’m going to make next week, you’ll see it soon.

On Wednesday night there will be a YouTube NextUp Creator Camp public meetup, including me. The time and place is not set yet, but it will be Wednesday night around 7pm. If you want to meet me, some of my YouTube peers, and other YouTube viewers, empty your schedule. It will be so cool! I think it’ll be sponsored by Google.

Please check my website for updates on the meetup, or follow me on Facebook or Twitter.

Time to pack!

Lima beans

Dried lima beans are very hard, like little rocks, so you’ll have to soak them in cold water overnight to soften them. After soaking them, you can peel off the skins with your fingers before cooking. The beans will pop out easily. I often use lima beans in recipes that call for beans: I like their beautiful white color and the fact that they are large so I can peel them easily after they’re soaked.

I also like the texture. They are especially delicious when used as a sweet white filling for pastry.
