Re: Kim Chi recipe
Posted by: The5Kims <The5Kims@...>
you actually do all this? As you might be able to tell from my last
name, I am married to a Korean who immigrated here when he was a young teen.
Actually, you might have thought that I was Korean also if you knew that the
Kim name was Korean... Anyway, I don't know any Koreans personally who do
all this work anymore here in CA anyway except for my mother-in-law. And she
is a lovely lady who shares all her Korean cooking with us. My children eat
Korean food like it was candy and so we have kimchee nearly everyday. But
we have never eaten it with anything but Korean food.
Do you have a Korean market closeby? It does get quite expensive to buy
kimchee if you eat it in large quantities. Do you eat any other Korean
foods? Did you acquire a test for Korean food when living in So. CA?
Tomorrow my mother (from Arkansas) flies in for a 10 day stay. We have
kimchee in our refrigerator and I have just realized that I need to get it
out. When she is in town, she thinks my refrigerator smells like
something is rotting in it if there is kimchee in it. And she thinks
everything from the water in the frig to the butter smells bad if there is
kimchee in the frig. Most Koreans have two refrigerators. One for the
"smelly" foods and one for the other Korean foods. We only have one frig.
Now what am I going to do with all that kimchee.... Wish some of you lived
around me and I'd give it to you. Homemade and ripe. LOL
