Chow Down Atlanta

Now that warm weather is in the air, I’ve been stocking my fridge with my latest discovery: Snapple Antioxidant Water. With added vitamins such as Vitamin A, B, and E plus electrolytes, it’s literally like water on steroids! But the best thing is that it is so refreshing. Each flavor is so good that it’s difficult to just drink one bottle in a sitting.

This stuff is really great. The flavors are so light unlike regular juices.  My favorite flavors: Tropical Mango, Grape Pomegranate, Dragonfruit, and Agave Melon. I can’t wait to try the other flavors. The best part about these Snapple Waters: I can actually beat my soda addiction! Go try one now and let me know what you think~

I went to Super H Mart on Pleasant Hill Rd in Gwinnett to get a huge bottle of Kimchi. I used to get my Kimchi at Han Gang Korean Grocery on Steve Reynolds Blvd in the early 90s. It was the first big stand-alone Korean grocery store in Atlanta where they sold meat and seafood aside from the usual fresh veggies, canned and dry goods, and also had a food court inside although very small. Since that has closed, I’ve been going to three other places.

At Super H today, they had three different kinds of fresh firm tofu: Plain, Carrot, and Spinach. The carrot tofu had only the slightest hint of carrot taste in it. Not overpowering. Just a tad carrotish if there’s even a word. The spinach tofu is equally awesome, with just a slight infusion of spinach so as not to kill the true taste of the tofu. These faintly flavored tofu aren’t really the type you’d use in cooking. Instead, you eat them as they are, cut up into cubes and drenched lightly with Korean sauce made with soy sauce, peppers, scallions, sugar, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. They’re great in salads, as appetizers, or as an accompaniment to grilled meat and seafood. By the way, these gems are less than $2 per block.
