Manchild may have taken a bite or two, but by the time dinner was done, his bowl was still full. (I can so relate.) Squish picked out all the veggies, meat, and eggs and had passing luck getting the rice into his mouth. The boys, on the other hand, were less than thrilled with actual bee-bim bop in front of their faces than they were by it on the pages of a book. Micah and I made the dish together (I cut my finger the other day and have a hard time wielding a knife with any degree of safety or accuracy), and we enjoyed it together. I’m sure you can imagine how the story goes from here. So on Sunday when I asked the boys what they wanted for dinner this week, there was an enthusiastic nomination and a second for bee-bim bop. “I want some bee-bim bop,” he’d mention at various times throughout the day.Īnd sometimes he’d just randomly burst out with, “Bee! Bim! Bop!” “Bee-bim bop!” Squish would say as he came to wake us up in the morning. And the boys thought that sounded like fun. They sent lots and lots of books, but the one that attached itself most firmly to Squish’s mind and heart was called Bee-Bim Bop! I’ve been reading it a couple of times a day since then and both boys have been pretty excited about trying bee-bim bop, which, the book tells us, is a popular Korean dish that translates to “mix-mix rice.” It’s basically a rice bowl with various vegetables, eggs, and meat mixed in. Have you heard of bee-bim bop? I hadn’t, until Christmas Day when Squish opened a gift from his cousins in Ohio. ![]()
