		<description>I too await this book, the book signings and the talk-show circuit (the work doesn&#039;t end when the book comes out). A minor proof-reader point: for Potbingsu on page 25 - steps 6 and 7 read the same; it looks like step 6 should be the adding of the sticky rice cake.</description>

		<description>If it is a situation where every person is bringing a dish, I would just do a single batch - you may or may not be lucky enough to have leftovers. But if you are the only person preparing a meal for 20 people and you want a large portion for each person, you might want to consider doubling the recipe. The last time I made this, the bok choy was extra large so I doubled the topping and dressing. This was for seven people, I think just about all of us took more than one serving and there was still left over.</description>

		<title>Comment on Where are all the single Christian men? by Daniel</title>

		<description>As a Christian male (24 years of age) I cannot say that I have had the same experience as you.  The first thought that came to mind while reading this post was, &quot;What is the demographic of her area?&quot;  I live in the Los Angeles basin, I have always found a plethora of single Christian males in the church.  

I agree that one would find more married men in the Church.  I suspect that many of them are going to please their wives.  But no doubt there are those who truly seek to know Christ and take part in fellowship with other believers.  

However, single Christian males are out there.  I find that they are usually attracted to churches that exhibit a more contemporary style of service - from worship, to clothing, to the pastor.  We want to go to a church where  we will learn more about God and fall deeper into His Word.  These days churches are filled with pastors who give topical teachings each week, whether it be tithing or love or marriage or finance and so forth.  The younger generations have grown up in a world where Christianity is equated with stupidity and foolishness.  Rationality and reason is the source of truth.  Faith leads to fables.  Unfortunately, many of the churches do not present Scripture in a proper light.  As a philosophy and psychology student, I have come to learn that Christianity is the soundest of all thought, but I never got that impression from churches I attended in my youth.  They have done more harm than good.  I do not wish to waste my time where I won&#039;t grow, and I&#039;m sure I&#039;m not the only single male who thinks that.  

I am not saying that all single Christian males attend church.  Many choose not to go for various reasons whether it be pride, arrogance, lack of discipline, unsound teaching or misplaced priorities.  That is unfortunate.  Some go to church for the wrong reasons, such as trying to meet girls or &quot;chilling.&quot;   But there are many who do attend church, seek God with all their heart, spend time with Him in prayer and the Word, and seek fellowship with others.  In our postmodern culture, young men want to know that Christianity is true and that hope is real.  The surest way to know that is to spend time in the Word.  This is just my opinion, but if you find a church that adopts an expositional teaching of the Word, the more likely you&#039;ll find single Christian men.</description>

		<description>I agree, there are many Christians that make no effort to improve their relationship with God, or only make a half-hearted attempt at it. One of the root causes of Christians not focusing on God comes from what the churches teach, or rather, what they do not teach. Each church seems to pull certain key verses of the Bible out, and build their doctrine around them. What they end up doing is only teaching part of the Bible - like a half truth. One of the doctrines taught by many churches is the &quot;once saved, always saved&quot; theory and a very similar one, &quot;all you have to do is believe in Jesus.&quot; After all, if that is all there is too it, why do anything else? Another one is predestination. Again, if we have already been chosen, why do anything else? To further confuse the issue, churches have modeled themselves into the business and entertainment world instead of into Jesus. They elect officials, pay taxes, entertain themselves, and focus on other business things like any other business or group. What this tells the congregation is that we should be living in the world like everybody else. Of course, if the churches would repent of their sins, there would likely be a mass exodus of people from the pews, which would destroy their business.</description>
