In this episode Sam and Anna try snacks that are popular in South Korea. Our South Korean culture Enthusiast, Colleen, helps guide us through a wide range of flavors. And since Anna can't eat gluten without feeling icky, all our snacks in the episode are gluten-free!

As always, thanks for joining us on our whimsical and often off beat journey though life.

In this episode Anna and Sam discuss the idea of the Ghost Kingdom a common thing among adoptees. Join in as they discuss their own experiences with it.

Have you ever felt like something is missing from your life? Like emptiness. You can kind of explain, but not completely. You know exactly how to describe it, but it comes out kind of like a word salad. And no one in your life seems to understand.

Hi. My name is Sam, and I'd love for you to join me and my friends on a podcast we call Mashed Potatoes and Kimchi. Join the conversation that happens after finding our forever Families. Some of our time together will be nonsensical fun, and that will be accompanied by unique perspectives, candid thoughts, and honest hearts.

We certainly don't have life all figured out, but whether you're adopted like me or you just feel out of place in life, hopefully, you'll discover that you're not alone.
