So, the Missus as a frontline healthcare worker got the first course of the Pfizer Vaccine last week. I anticipated the possibility of some mild side effects and felt She could probably use some Emperor's Soup ($17.99) from Woomiok. So, I placed my order to go and then went over to Nijiya to do some shopping. Also of note, you can order an extra portion of bone broth for $6-$8....depending on who is working that day. I'm often happy with just the soup and rice made into sort of a porridge....so it works out well for us.
As before, nicely packed.
This time I used our Iwatani Butane stove to heat things up at our dinner table.
Even though the Missus had minimal side effects....Her arm hurt like hell and there was a mild rash that broke out around the injection site, She did enjoy having a nice tongue and tummy coating soup, seasoned with salt, tender oxtail, tendon, ox knee, etc. This was good on a fairly chilly night here in San Diego.
Even though both the baechu kimchi and kkakdugi (radish kimchi) were a bit on the weak side this time around, the soup did hit the spot. Because I ordered more than twenty bucks worth of food (with that side of bone broth), two soft drinks were given to us gratis.
Just what we needed on a chilly evening.

On a side note; I'm scheduled to get my Covid-19 Vaccine soon.....are you planning to get the vaccine?
Yes, I am planning to get the vaccine, and I will be so happy to get it. I am not an essential worker but I am over 60 with asthma and a life time of pneumonia. Thank you and the Mrs. for being essential workers. I am so grateful for the vaccine! I have stayed home (even from grocery stores) the entire time.

Yes, when it comes my turn, which probably won't be for a bit. Beautiful pictures. Been missing Korean food. I'm brought back to my time in SD and getting Halmunee's for dinner after a late shift

I will be so happy when you get it as well Barbara and am looking forward to find out where you head to first! Take care and hang in there!
I think that Korean food has gotten even better here in recent years Sawyer. When this is all over; I'm hoping you come for a visit....and lunch/dinner is on me! It's always great to hear from you! Bst wishes for a wonderful 2021!

Got my first dose recently with minimal side effects. Glad to hear your wife got hers and is fine. Hope you (and everyone else) get yours soon. Judging by all the cars lining our street, the very crowded stores and still people without masks (looking at you RB In n Out—not the employees), it’s going to be awhile before things improve.🙁

Oh man...still no masks RD? In RB....PB maybe, but not RB! That's so disappointing. Glad you minimal side effects though.

My employer is considered to be essential, but I am nowhere near to be considered a front line worker. Nevertheless, I plan on getting the vaccine when it's finally my turn. Whenever I go out for groceries, etc., I see that nearly everyone is wearing a mask. Whether they wear them properly is another story ...

glad the missus didn’t have serious side effects. hope your vaccine will go smoothly too. take care you two!

I hope your missus feels better. Our neighbors daughter, who is a new nurse (fresh out of college) got the vaccine the other day as well

Yes, lot's of folks "just wearing" Sandy...like the infamous "under the nose".....
Thanks Kat!
It will be interesting CC, since I understand there are more reactions with the second dose.

I'm still wait and see mode for the vaccine. Especially when there are several different versions of it.
