Jang Ryu-jin & the Get-Rich-Quick Dream: Broccoli Salad

20201217, 'A salary alone isn't enough — what we need is a windfall.' That tagline hooked me from the start, and when I found out it was by Jang Ryu-jin, author of The Joy and Sorrow of Work — my (Na Jo-sik's) pick for best book of 2020 — and that a new chapter drops online every week? There was no reason to hesitate. Go read it right now! Just google 'Jang Ryu-jin To the Moon' — currently updated through chapter 7! I should have caught on from the 'windfall' tagline: To the Moon features, unsurprisingly, the #cryptocurrency that once had our whole society fired up. Fittingly, yesterday #Bitcoin broke its all-time high, crossing $20,000. (Though, to be fair, To the Moon centers on #Ethereum rather than Bitcoin — at least through chapter 7.) But today's breakfast has nothing to do with cryptocurrency: it's broccoli salad. Blanch the world's prettiest broccoli in boiling water, drizzle with a dressing of whole-grain mustard, white wine vinegar, and olive oil, and finish with parmesan~
