What is Yeouido? and Kicked out of the Kitchen!

Adding on to this post; I've asked many Koreans, even ones who have lived in 여의도/Yeouido for their whole lives, exactly what the name means. I know that 여 is like 여자/yeo-ja (woman); I know that 의/ui (pronounced like the French yes/oui) is the equivalent to 's in English; and 도/do means island so I figured maybe it meant woman's island. Not so, it seems. Seoul Selection's Streetwise in Seoul has the answer: here (and for Yeouinaru here). Cool, eh?

And, this morning I was informed by my wife, Kate, that the kitchen is off-limits to me while my mother-in-law is in the house. Seems cooking is her exclusive domain so I'll have to make do by being served by her and Kate until further notice. This may not sound like a big deal, but I like to cook and find that I can do it a lot quicker than most people--and I know that I'll like it (no surprises). Oh well, what can I do: mother-in-law has over 30 years on my so I guess I'll have to abide by it (waaaaaaa...).
