It's been a while since we had pajeon (literally translated pa means green onion/scallions and jeon means pancake, thus green onion pancake) since our California days with unlimited makgeolli (fermented rice wine). But for the sake of adding to our recipe list, we decided to make haemul pajeon (seafood pancake) for tonight while the kids spend the night at Komo's house (Auntie's). There are endless variations of this dish which can be made by adding or omitting certain ingredients according to personal preference.

Creamy Spring Vegetable and Ham Pasta
This creamy spring vegetable and ham pasta is a lovely dish with leeks, asparagus, and peas—a creative use for leftover ham. I used fettuccine, but rotini or orecchiette would work just as well.
Sweet Zucchini Relish
My mother's sweet zucchini relish is a family favorite. It's delicious on hamburgers and hot dogs.
Beer Brats
These awesome brats are simmered in beer with onions and spices to make them bursting with flavor before finishing them off on the grill. Place the grilled brats in hot dog rolls, and top them with the tender onions and mustard, or serve them alongside German potato salad.
