kimchi and beyond





I love kimchi. I started eating it regularly in the Marshall Islands, my favorite kind was sold in a bag and had pickled garlic in it. I know, really no surprise if you know me at all. I was intrigued when my Yoga Journal magazine had a recipe for quick kimchi. Kimchi is really good for you, especially in the cold and flu season, it has vitamin C, vitamin A, iron, calcium and lactic acid (to name just a few of the health benefits). I feel very lucky to be married to someone who will try anything! So, we decided to make kimchi at home! It is delicious! And so easy to make...

Then my mom came to visit! We went to Bainbridge, see top photo and here she is at Matador Happy Hour by the fire. We mostly laid low, hung out and took it easy...

Then today we finally got to make a recipe I have been wanting to try, Kimchi Quesadillas!!! They were so good! Surprisingly good, actually....I recommend this recipe! Cheers!

blogging is for the birds...

Sorry parents, we have been spending a lot less time on the computer lately. We have been reading, books, comics and magazines, that is...and doing other things not on the apple. It has been good for music and listening to NPR. I have the day off and was glad to hear this story, perfect for Veteran's Day. More sometime...
