GRAND Magazine - July 2009 - 24

cover story Anna explains the family photographs to Isaac, who is more interested in having his own photograph taken. grandparents do not speak English or use a computer? I have found several creative ways. • The old saying “A picture is worth a thousand words” transfers to any culture or language. I love taking pictures of my kids and often mail photographs to my in-laws. • New technology allows me to create photo books of my children to send to their Korean grandparents. I upload pictures from my computer and design cool-looking pages by theme. I like to make photo books from the Web site Shutterfly  . I recently sent a photo book for their grandfather’s 70th birthday. • If I really want to express something to their Korean grandparents, I write a short letter and have it translated. We live in an area that has a big Korean community. One of my Korean friends rewrites my letters. As far as my children go, I want them to know who their halmoni (grandma) and halaboji (grandpa) are. Again, pictures are best. My kids love looking through scrapbooks and talk on the phone, use a webcam, write letters and receive packages and visits from Grandma and Grandpa in Iowa. But how do I keep the communication open between cultures when my children and I do not speak Korean, and their Korean Kalbi (Korean bbQ beef Short Ribs) Ingredients 5 lbs. beef short ribs *note: Most Asian markets carry Kalbi cut ribs, called flanken cut. It has three ribs cut lengthwise across the bones, 8-10 inches long, about 1/4-inch thick. 1/3 cup sugar 1/2 cup soy sauce 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup Sprite or Coke 1 tbsp. garlic 1 tsp. black pepper 2 tbsp. sesame oil 2 green onions, sliced 2 slices kiwi (optional) Preparation 1. Soak the meat in water two hours to drain out the blood. Rinse. 2. Mix together sugar, soy sauce, water, Sprite, garlic, pepper, sesame oil and onions. (You can add kiwi for extra softness.) If you need more marinade, just keep the ratio for the soy sauce, water and Sprite the same. 3. Marinate meat for at least 4 hours or overnight. 4. Grill or pan-fry. If you grill, remember this thin-cut meat will cook quickly—just a few minutes on each side. If you pan-fry, you can add white onion as well. 24 GRAND JULY 2009
