My FIL likes to talk politics, sports, current events, things he is doing on his farm and so on. I find him pretty interesting, especially the stories about his youth growing up in an era when Korea was pretty much shattered. He sure has had a fascinating life.
As for family events, some are great, some are boring but that is to be expected I suppose. |

Many of you say how many in-laws talk about food all the time. In my case, every time I meet mom and bros-IL, I cook them food they've never had before, more often than not on their home turf. I've shown them how it can really be good/tasty/filling and not Korean. (I'm Mediterranean). I have yet to hear another conversation about food in immediate family gatherings , and even had my MIL talk me up as a wonderful cook to the rest of the clan. While they would talk about it, I just made it and gave it to them. Now they just dote on our daughter and leave the cooking to me! Gives me something to do for a couple of days. Good times!  |

Yes, pasticcio, no moussaka. Gemista, tzatziki, salad w/homeplus black olives and trakaya 'white cheese' from costco, fasolada, fakes, prassorizo, keftedes, etc. I'm very "Korean" in that way....If it ain't Greek it's weak...Especially with food. |

I'm just curious. What do you do about air conditioning. I remember in the past some ex Korean girlfriends not liking my air con when i loved having it on. I know a couple of guys who go with their wife's wishes on that and don't use it at night. Personally, I can't sleep in summer without it on. I can't stand the heat. (Though I'm sure my tolerance has gradually increased somewhat over years here.)
Not a deal breaker, but just curious about that issue. |

When she complained about the A/C, I handed her some thick cotton 'jammys. |
