i’m taking bets to see how long it takes my friend rob to respond to this…
apparently his mom is the queen of kimchi. i wouldn’t know of course because i’ve never been offered any.
as a matter of fact, i’ve been sitting by my mailbox waiting for ground pepper for weeks now.
maybe this will spark a fire under his…well, this is a family blog, but you know what i’m saying right?
instead of waiting i acted. because i just want to make my own. because i’m incredibly impatient. because, well, i’m a pain in the…
actually, i found a recipe. i’m kind of impulsive.
so i made it…with some substitutions. and it’s awesome.
i’m waiting for that email rob…and my package. see what you make me do?

- slice your cucumber in half, then slice into half moon shapes (see picture above)

- refrigerate for at least 3 hours, 6 is better and overnight is the bomb.

Rob has to wait for his wife to read your blog and forward the pertinent entries to him. . . . That being said I told him that Meredith just called him out. His response, “You gotta send that package to her!” It’s always the wife’s fault I tell you!
Ha!!!
Mmmm…..kimchi. There are some great spots here in the city that make it.
“The check is in the mail”. . . . Isn’t that what “they” always say. Now as far as the recipe goes. . . . That’s another story.
