Kimchee at Costco

Korean food must be going mainstream! I was at the Mountain View Costco this weekend and saw for the first time shelves and shelves of jars of the traditional Korean pickled cabbage side dish, from a brand you could find at a Korean grocer, too.

I don’t think the Korean population is particularly large in this area, and plenty of Korean grocery stores are nearby, so I’m not sure how long this will last. I, for one, will continue to buy any kimchee from a local Korean market. But how cool!

Postscript: This post the first I’ve written on my iPhone WordPress application.

Is anyone excited about the Olympics this year?

Is anyone excited about the Olympics?

It’s just around the corner, but I don’t think I’ve ever anticipated the Olympics less. Perhaps it’s age. I have a mild interest in watching the U.S.A. basketball team, but, other than that, ho hum.
