Don’t believe me? Ever hear the phrase “waiting with bated breath?” I am sure you’ve often thought it was spelled “baited” but that’s incorrect. Waiting with bated breath means standing by in breathless anticipation — waiting with one’s breath held back.

it’s unbelievable that a lawyer would stoop down so low.

Mr. Carr, if you were in america, you would be chasing ambulances

What is truly sad about this is the inability of Korean politicians of any stripe 1) to behave with any dignity and decorum EVER and, worse, 2) to address any POLICY issues in their incessant battles. ”

fuck you. when somebody says something you do not like you accuse him of lowering the quality of debate.

fuck you all

fuck all the americans

And as far as my defending the right of the Japanese prime minister to pay homage to war criminals, I said so not because I think the Japanese prime minister should pay homage to such figures, but because I felt it was a domestic matter that other states really shouldn’t make a diplomatic issue of. I’ve been to Tiananmen Square, where there’s a very prominent shrine to Mao Tse-tung, who killed more Chinese than the Japanese ever did. If the Americans made that shrine a diplomatic issue, the Chinese would tell Washington to go screw themselves, and rightfully so. Heck, look at the monuments we have up in Washington — we have two for slave owners (Washington and Jefferson), and one for Lincoln — perhaps our best loved president, but a man who, had he pulled what he did in the American South today, would be sitting in the Hague right now along with Sherman and Grant. And those are the figures that come to immediately to mind; I’m sure there are tons of others if you want to do the research.

I meant paengi beosot (?흸쩍??쨈?짼????/ paengi mushrooms)also popular known as Enokitake, winter mushrooms, snow puff mushrooms, velvet stem mushrooms, velvet shank, velvet foot, the exact Latin term is: Flammulina velutipes.
Add the fresh paengi mushrooms bundle at last or cook only a little with the twoenjang-gook/-chigae and you will get the taste of your lifetime!!!

Damn, I must ask my mother to cook a 10 liter bucket full of the twoenjang-soup, when I’m again at my parent’s home for visit. Never heard of spam (the tinned meat?) as an ingredient.

Sorry, Marmot, for misusing your place as a cooking recipes forum.

Funk & Wagnalls Dictionary, 1963.

bate (verb)
verb transitive:
1. to lessen the force or intensity of; moderate. “He watched with bated breath”. (bated, bating)
2. to deduct, decrease
verb intransitive:
3. to diminish, become reduced (variant of “abate”)

Also — (this usage is very obscure now in my opinion, though perhaps my farmer ancestors used it):

bate (noun)

–a solution of chemicals or manure containing natural or synthetic enzymes, used to soften skin or hides.
also a verb transitive:
to soften, by soaking in bate. “bated, bating”.

mushrooms in twoenjang?

have a good day, Mr Shin.

you too, mr marmot.

btw, i think you use this korea/japan issue to belittle koreans; i don’t ever see you writing about what the japanese need to do. what’s your advice for them? i’d like to know. about the only thing you’ve ever said about them was that it’s their businees if their prime minister wants to pay homage to war criminals.

and one more thing if you so choose to answer: are you also an apologist for slavery? if the koreans got schools from the japanese, did the jews get israel from germany?

Oho, though I don’t always agree with Mr. Shin Jong-Il’s opinions, he breathes kimchi-flavored wind into the comment section. Would you deny that fact? In my view, Mr. Marmot knows to appreciate his appearances in his comment section. BTW, I love his recipes of Korean dishes.

At a time of record unemployment for youth and women, backsliding on critical economic reforms, daily evidence of China’s challenge to the ROK’s competitiveness, a human rights holocaust and nuclear sabre rattling in North Korea and a possibly significant terror threat to U.S. allies in the Iraq conflict, is dredging up the colonial period the best the Uri Party or its rivals can do?
