There they were – four roommates dazedly wandering through the Friday noontime crowds at Trader Joe’s, hungry, and a bit hungover. While scanning the aisles at Trader Joe’s, Roommate A remarked that she was craving Korean food, but that Trader Joe’s seemingly endless world of prepared frozen meals seemed to be sorely lacking in that area. “Don’t worry,” said Roommate B, “I can make it.”
And with those four magic words, it was on. Fifteen minutes later, after they had locked up their Zipcar and stumbled to their apartment with their groceries (and a pack of Pumpkin Joe-Joe’s for dessert), the bibimbap bowl-off commenced. Please note: These roomies decided on tofu for their bowls, but if you are in the mood for meat, feel free to substitute.
