I think you owe it to every member of this board, as well as anyone who may be lurking, to explain why anyone on the entire planet would order a burger, and instead of fries to go with that burger, they would opt for broccoli with their burger.
I would like a side of kimchi, although Boston baked beans or a small dinner salad would be nice.
Yeah! kimchi makes an excellent side, especially with bulgogi! Boston baked beans and dinner salad are not bad either!
Speaking of Boston baked beans, have any of you heard this story?
There once was a lady who was famous for the excellence of her Boston beans, and she loved to host dinner parties for her friends, serving them her well renowned specialty. One day as she was preparing for one of her popular dinner parties, she had to make a run to the store for a few things she needed for the party. When she was gone, her son came home from school and smelled the beans simmering on the stove. One of her secrets was to leave the beans slowly simmering for hours under low heat. It smelled so good that the boy could not resist the urge to sample them. By the time he got control of himself, the level of beans left in the pot was down by a quarter.
He panicked, knowing that his mother would immediately figure out who the culprit was. Then he had an idea. He a bee bee rifle that he loved to play with, and a large supply of bee bees. He gathered all the bee bees he could find and poured enough of them into the pot to raise the level of the water to its original level.
Mom came home and finished the preparation of the beans and getting ready for her guests. Her guests loved the Boston baked beans more than ever, and remarked about the little additional zest they hadn't noticed before. The host noticed this herself, of course, and wondered what had happened to make that difference. She was still pondering about that hours after the last guest had gone home, when one of ladies at the party called her to ask if she might have added something unusual to her recipe.
She responded, "Why? is there a problem?"
"Well, the most unusual thing just happened. When I bent over to pet my cat a few minutes ago, I somehow shot my canary!"
