Kimchi Donuts from Dunkin’ Donuts in Korea | Serious Eats
I’m probably the only person I know who thinks this sounds/looks absolutely delicious. It’s like a Korean version of curry pan! MMMMMM.
A lot of it has to do with my music background. I studied voice and piano fairly seriously during my elementary and high school days, and as such, I became very attuned to rhythm and cadence and voice. So what happens when I read is that I can “hear” the narrative and dialogue in my head, but what’s odd is that I’m both aware of the book at, say, an LP rate (33 1/3 revolutions per minute) but in my head it translates to roughly a 78.

My amazing coworkers and their costumes:
Vanessa as Waldo, as in Where’s Waldo?
Alice as a cavewoman riding a T-rex.
Rodrigo as a cowboy riding a horse.
Alice and Rodrigo’s costumes are actually made for large toddlers, but they reconstructed them to fit. You can’t get the full effect here, but they were AWESOME. Alice also had a dog bone in her hair to complete the outfit, and was actually barked at by a dog on our walk to lunch today. HILARIOUS.
Speaking of dessert, Alice and I shared a “small” sundae yesterday except the guy working “accidentally” made the sundae too big.
