Last year she put corned beef and kimchi on the menu for St. Patrick's Day. I had seconds.

It's what happens when you let a 20-something Korean-American from Seattle loose as manager in an old loggers' haunt in the sticks. At the second open mic I played there she asked me to play some Acid Metal. I may or may not have responded a little too gleefully...considering it was ostensibly an acoustic thang.
Closest experience I can offer is risotto al Nero di Seppia (risotto with squid ink). It's nail-yer-butt-to-the-floor good. Makes for a good meal before the discotheque <--- this sentence dates me
Uh, ... that would be me, sir.
Exactly my reaction to any perceived actual presence of "kimchi", (I have other, less socially acceptable words for it.) My wife and daughter love it by itself, but I cannot breathe within 20 feet of it!

Every Korean family has their own recipe, pretty much, and the restaurant's version is extremely mellow compared to my former co-worker's nuking hot garlic fest that her granny would whip up for us from time to time.

You had me at squid. Or squid ink for that matter. And I just happened to blunder upon an old friend's Facebook feed last night where he was posting pics from the club he ran in VT in the 70s and 80s. Big hair, indeed.

The recipe was strictly fuggetaboudit. But yeah, something like that.
My wife lived "on the economy" in S. Korea, after Germany, with her career Army first husband. She's gotten me to take her back to Germany and turned me on to many German dishes. She has NOT got me to Korea or past bulgogi and BBQ chicken!
Her ex is not as kind about her culinary tastes as I am. They both still share lots of interesting stories from their travels at get togethers with in-laws and ex-in-laws. And he & she and his current wife & I get along great, not just for their kids' sake. We all shared a 4 week Alaska to Houston via Panama Canal with his mom and her mom and it was ... The ... Best ... Cruise ... EVER!

How's that cruise look when you're not employed as the cruise ship bass player?
[what I know about that job - not much but]
Good gig if you don't mind the rules.
Every working stiff we talked to said they enjoyed the travel, along with the work. Said they almost always got some shore time at each port! And there were always some personnel changes at almost every port. Of the several bands, I only noticed one entire lounge-only band that made the whole trip with us, and we actually added a 5th week after dropping off the great-grand-moms. Other bands came and went entirely, or even changed individual members! (And I don't count husband-guitarist/pianist & wife-singer duos w/o or w/bands-in-a-box as "bands", who, obviously didn't change members.)
For us passengers it counted as 5 separate cruises. Great for getting up to Platinum Service Level Status in a hurry!
I was in a small band that discussed doing it one time, but the husband/wife part of that band were the only ones against it! My wife was thrilled to give it try! She was willing to buy a ticket for every cruise we would play on. The other guy was single, otherwise unemployed and loved sailing, so he was in.

There is a moment in the audition:
It's Las Vegas, and a kind and wonderful soul recommends me for an audition. It's all pretty straight ahead stuff, can I read, do I know my instrument blah blah basic qualifications. Mid-late in the audition two showgirls come in from their shift. The first thing they do is measure their waists. It is in this moment I see what kind of work environment this is, get the picture loud and clear. Really no point in completing the audition at this juncture. Had the poormobile headed west shortly thereafter. Fortune's to be made elsewhere ....
Vegas really isn't my kind of town but I get it.
The show gig, the cruise gig, they're really good gigs for a young player. Some dig it, but I also know from my travels the watchword is "expect delays". And crew wisdom holds: better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air than in the air wishing you were on the ground."
Speaking of cruises, it's coming up on the 107th obervation of the loss of the Titanic. Of the band, only the bassist's remains were found. The band member's widows were billed for the loss of their uniforms, as they were employed not by White Star Line but by a booking agency. Yah I pass on the ship gig too, thanks

Approved enhanced interrogation techniques for terrorists are less severe than dentistry techniques from my youth. Over 40 years ago I said to my dentist that without electricity, dentistry of today (i.e of the 70's) and the Dark Ages would be indistinguishable...he didn't vehemently disagree.

Who wouldn't be upset as Gilligan pedals the stationary bike that powers the drill? 
My wife’s grandmother was on a ship crossing the atlantic from England when the Titanic went down. They looked into traveling on the Titanic but it was more expensive than the freighter that they took.
She live a long happy life. One decision could have changed all that.

I get that. I didn't like the idea of Kimchee until I got a chance to taste good Kimchee. BIG difference.Uh, ... that would be me, sir.
