Too Much Seaweed

Too much seaweed

I’m addicted to dried seaweed. It’s annoying my husband because he doesn’t see it as a snack, it’s supposed to be part of a meal. Because his mother used to always tell him when he was younger that it’s not a snack. So he called her to tell her that I eat so many packets of seaweed, hoping to convince me to not eat so much. But doesn’t matter what she told him when he was young, she is on my side! Haha. So she basically said to let me eat as much seaweed as I want.

I am trying to cut back a bit. The other day I secretly bought a 3 pack and ate it all at once. AND I’ve only been eating it for 2 years, he has been eating it for all his life.

Sorry if this post is not written as well, I’m writing this as my husband is doing his own rendition of Les Misérables in the background. He is obsessed. Will talk about that another time…

    ㅋㅋㅋ…My Mom does that too. Especially when she JUST finishes oil/salting and toasting the 김. So we have this ridiculously huge container of freshly toasted seaweed. And EVERYTIME she goes through the kitchen she will pull some of them out and eat them. She’s such a kid. :)
    It’s actually amazing we even have any for the actual meal…ㅋㅋㅋ..

    What’s he singing from Les Mis? On My Own? Because you know he is on his own when it comes to this dried seaweed issue. I’m with you on this, and my wife too – dried gim makes a great snack.

    I ate so much kim one time, I cut the corners of my mouth.
    You’re right though, kim is like a snack. Like very thin ocean-flavored potato chips.

    Oh ha ha, that is too funny. You can at least tell him that it is healthy and you can keep your girly figure too. ;)

      I can make a good seaweed soup and I made it for his birthday…. not sure if he’ll make it for mine haha. He is not good at cooking.

    Isn’t it too salty? My kids are eating it as well, and whenever they eat it, I tell them that it is NOT a snack like your husband. (I am pure Korean living in US..though..)

    • http://www.mykoreanhusband.com/ Nic

      Just the right saltiness :)

  • janelee
