Talking Time:  This soup instills fear in Korean men. Whenever Korean women need to go somewhere for a long time, they make a huge batch of this soup and let their husbands fend for themselves. As you may or may not know, Korean men are notorious for not being helpful around the house and they're definitely not known for their cooking skills.  One time, my mom made a huge batch of this soup and my dad started freaking out. He frantically asked her where she was going and tried to hold her passport hostage. Fortunately for my dad (who can only make cereal, ramen, and soy sauce rice), she wasn't going anywhere. She was just cooking sullungtang because it's yummy, convenient, and versatile. This is liquid gold my friends.  The hardest part of making this soup is the time it takes. However, it doesn't really require a lot of cooking skills. You just boil the bones, monitor it, and then repeat the process one or two more times. I personally like to boil the bones three times

Talking Time: Rumor has it that millennials can't afford to buy houses because we're wasting all our money buying avocado toast. If you're one of these people, let me help.  Restaurant vs. Cooking at Home Cost:  Bartavelle  in Berkeley sells one avocado toast for $9.75. If you take it to go, that comes out to $10.70 with tax. Their ingredients include: Brokaw ranch avocados, olive oil, lemon, celtic sea salt and marash pepper on acme bread pain au levain.  Cooking at Home: I'm going to be making 3 avocado toasts today and my cost will come out to $1/avocado toast. My ingredients include: 2 small avocados, olive oil, lemon, kosher salt, red pepper flakes, and Trader Joe's everything but the bagel seasoning blend on acme bread pain au levain.  Cost Per Serving  Restaurant: $10 (I'll round down to be nice) Home: $1  Shopping Tips:  If you bake your own bread, use it! If you don't, then find a good bakery and buy your bread there. I buy my bread at  Acme Bread .
