Sorry peeps, the

recipe will have to wait. If you are partly or wholly Korean, you might want to check this out:
Sam is 21 years old. He was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia
over the winter break; a good match for a bone marrow donor could
greatly increase his chances for survival. He is a hard bone marrow
match because he is biracial (Korean/western European). Potential

backgrounds are his best chance.
There are currently only 10 potential matches for Sam in the bone
marrow database throughout the world -- and they may or may not
ultimately match or be available.

There is also
national
Asian American donor registry
, btw, and the test doesn't hurt a bit.
