In an uncharacteristic moment of quick thinking I calmly told him it meant "sadly out of luck".<BR/><BR/>And though I've never had kimchee I learned of it while in the Army where those who had spent a tour in Korea used the phrase "deep kimchee" to describe being in big trouble, i.e. "Private Jones just got caught drinking on guard duty. Man is he in deep kimchee!"F. S.

I use gas for the convenience, we grill probably 2-3 times a week year round. But for the purist, charcoal is the only way to go.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I'm from Ft Worth, TX so I've never met you or been to your parish. I have no idea how I ever came across your blog, but it is one of my favorites.

I said on a post that probably never made it (some kind of computer glitch flared up)that I have not enjoyed commentary this much since reading the travels of Samuel Clemons, aka Mark Twain. Keep it coming! Good writing skills combined with unique and insightful observations are a rare find. (Applause!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
