  1. Great and easy recipe! Couldn't find fresh clams here so I left that out and added extra shrimp. It was spicy but not overpowering. I'll make this again.
     
  2. We had a Korean friend who always brought the most delicious cuisine to church. One Sunday it was freezing cold and the people who had signed up to bring refreshments that Sunday never showed. But since our friend always brought something she made, we had Mae Un Tang in styrofoam cups! It was heavenly. I like it when I'm sick too. Glad I found it here! I'm going to have to make it soon!

Can't believe I've been a member here for 18 years! It's changed a lot since the old RecipeZaar days and maybe or maybe not for the better. It used to be a community and now it's just a tool. Sad, but life goes on. I have been in Kentucky for 12 years now and enjoy the country lifestyle, along with master gardening. Recipes I've found here since Day One are still in my rotation. Don't entertain that much anymore, so finding new and exciting foods is no longer center stage. Just glad to have so many good recipes to fall back on because eating out is expensive and sometimes too far to drive.
