A Thank You To Some Great Local Businesses
I wanted to let people know about some pretty neat places around where I live. I live in a small town called Kenmore which is at the north end of Lake Washington. We moved here in March and really have enjoyed it a lot so far – my wife has commented that she’s felt at home here quicker than any of the other places we’ve lived which is really nice! Anyways, I wanted to give a quick shout out and thank you to some businesses around here that you should check out if you’re in the area!

While at the KS Mart in Lynnwood, Washington, I saw this and had to give it a try.

Here’s what Wikipedia says about how it arrived in its current form:

Okay I know – I don’t usually review restaurant food but I thought I would this time.

I found Naengmyeon combo and thought that might be good. I had no idea what it would be about, except that noodles were involved and that it was ‘good in the Summer.’ Here’s what Wikipedia says about Naengmyeon:
