A note to CH'ers (and anyone else who may be interested)

I have resisted an "about me" section ever since I put this site up. I won't go into much detail but will explain a few things that have cropped up on chowhound.com.

About hannaone.com:

hannaone.com is mostly about making Korean recipes available to anyone who wants to cook Korean. There are some other areas of the site that reflect some of my interests such as reading, and a section to help people find government employment.
The name "hannaone" came from a common english spelling (mis-spelling) of the Korean word for the number one and the english "one".

About Us

I am not Korean, just the American part of a Korean/American equation that began in 1980.
I am male, in my mid-fifties, and love Korean food.
I am not a chef, just an avid amateur assistant to my wife who is a great chef (my words, not hers - she says she is just a cook)
The avatar I use for chowhound is a male warrior from the Manwha Burning Blood Kangho (I know, the bundled long hair in the small pic looks female)
My wife and I were in the restaurant business for almost fifteen years, first with a Korean restaurant (13 years) then a Teriyaki take out place. We have decided that we will not be going back into the restaurant business.
Most of the recipes on this site, and those that I have posted on chowhound, are my attempt at translating my wife's and her mother's recipes. (Actually more like converting them from the standard Korean "some of this, some of that, taste, add some more, and some of that" style of "recipe".)

Well, that's enough.
Maybe I will add more in the future if more things crop up on chowhound.
