Seaforest Bake Shop is a new Philly spot that incorporates Korean fusion flavors into the pastries. Kimchi and persimmon pods demanded that I take them there!

If you want these raspberries, you'll have to go through us first. Can you take us in a fight? Think very carefully.

Heh. Bon Appetit, Your Majesty was a fun watch. Distinctly silly in places, but always knowingly, and worth it overall. Korean image-makers give it their all.

But how exciting that you'll be doing a quilt for a two-story wall!
