Science A Mysterious, Powerful Force is Flinging Radio Waves at Us From Deep Space

We grow our own Korean chives, aka garlic chives. We also sometimes grow Korean cucumbers, which are similar but smaller than English cucumbers as well as Perilla leaves for making Kkaennip kimchee. The cucumbers are used for making my favorite kimchee, Oyee kimchee or cucumber kimchee.

 

My wife makes kimchee as well...unfortunately it's on my list of foods I can no longer eat...love the stuff

 

Another of my favorite kimchees is made from watercress. Oh my God, it's so delicious. My wife eats her's too hot for me or my sister-in-law. When my mother-in-law was alive my wife's kimchee was too hot for her. It's doubly hotter than the hottest I can stand.

We once ate at a place that specialized in BBQ ribs in East Portland. They offered a hot and a fire hot ribs. I had the medium ribs and they were just a tad too hot for me. My wife had the fire hot ribs and said where was the spice. She was disappointed that they weren't hot enough.

She likes the outer part of the traditional kimchee made from Chinese cabbage whereas I like the tender heart of the cabbage kimchee.

There are so many different types of kimchee that I couldn't begin to describe them all.

I always thought of kimchee as being a Korean style of pickling my just yesterday my wife told me that kimchee was not Korean pickling and that there were types of Korean pickles that had nothing to do with kimchee. Live and learn, eh. I guess I'm not as worldly as I thought.

 

Done

All you had to do was ask.

This is now the Kimchee thread.

 

cabbages are obviously sending msgs we think are from deep space...that or purring cats..or the occasional humming refrigerator on it's last legs..

 

Is it the spice that bothers you? Because if it is, my mother-in-law could not tolerate any spice at all but still ate 99% Korean food.

There's a kimchee cold soup called mool kimchee which I love. No spice at all in it.

Koreans eat their main course off an individual plate right in front of them but they eat their kimchee from communal bowls, usually two to three people per bowl. Sometimes there will be a plate of something and everyone eats from that plate using their chopsticks.

I use to be pretty fair with chopsticks but now I've got a nerve disorder that causes me to shake too much to use chopsticks. No problem, though, my wife helps me by using her chopsticks for me. I do have the best wife in the world.
