MARU Korean Restaurant and Bar 11/1

Once we got to the Maru, we sat down across from each other. It was quite romantic. Anthony took out his laptop to begin notetaking for the blog. Here is what I wrote down:

Cooper ordered fried chicken and Anthony ordered kimchi jigae. Anthony's soup was very spicy. He was sweating profusely. My food was very tasty and I like chicken. Next to us was a father and his family (unclear). He stared at me and then eventually asked, "Are those like chicken nuggets?" I said yes. He then told his family that I had ordered chicken nuggets repeatedly. Yikes. Our waitress cycled our water very efficiently. Cooper drinks more water when he eats than I do. The food was savory. Cooper's has a sweet tang to it, with the texture alternating between soft and crunchy bits. Cooper loves chicken! He also ate it with rice. I taught him how to use chopsticks. How multicultural! My Kimchi Jiggae was very good--the broth was hot and spicy but the rice helped neutralize the acidity a tinge. The kimchi itself was excellent. However, I wish there was more protein; I paid for extra beef but there was not much extra beef. Tofu is disgusting! Sam Gibbs, how do you eat tofu. We talked about our feelings and politics. Also, about how I was clipped in the WUVA Media video about James Fishback visiting the university.
