shallot

There were, like, a couple hours this weekend where I couldn’t hear the transphobic brain worms about my body and uh, it was pretty cool?

Also need to know this. For my friend.

Are rust and used thinkpads and booty shorts manly hobbies? Asking for a friend.

ty for stepping in with a mega and good luck with the move :)

Noooo! Fruit flies are super annoying. I’m sure you already know this trick but just in case, a towel or a tee shirt, rubber-banded over the top of the jar, will let your ferment breathe and keep the flies out. They’ll still be annoying, but not at the expense of your kimchi.

You totally should make some!

I’ve been thinking about trying to find some sweet rice flour so I can do a more traditional paste. Or maybe use some local honey instead of sugar. There seems to be a lot of room for fucking around, and it’s so tasty.

Recipe:

• One Napa cabbage that turned out to be a bit smaller than I thought
• 2ish inches of an extremely fat ginger root, grated
• one whole head of early chesnock red garlic that I wish I’d bought way more of, pressed
• every green onion in my garden (tops only) cut into correctly sized pieces
• 6 cups water
• 6 tablespoons sea salt, plus another 2 tablespoons later
• 3/4 cup gochugaru
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp msg
• a glunk or two of the

1. Take the leaves off the cabbage and rinse them
2. Make a brine from the water and 6 tbs salt
3. brine the cabbage in the fridge for 6 hours
4. Take the leaves out of the brine, cut them into chunks, and mix them with everything else
5. pack into a jar and ferment on a counter for 2-3 days with the lid kinda loose
6. put it in the fridge and try not to eat it all at once

Usually I’ll put some daikon and mustard greens too, and maybe other stuff, but skipped them this time cause I was feeling lazy

Makes about a half gallon or so

The two things that I think made the difference were that I used some young red garlic that I managed to snag from the farmers market, and I threw in some

along with the usual msg.

Trying so hard not to eat this entire half gallon of kimchi right the fuck now, easily my best batch yet by like a mile.

Sometimes I think my life is garbage, even though I know that I’m overall very lucky and my life is pretty good.

Sometimes I manage to realize how many cool people I’ve managed to know. If I’m very lucky, even when things are hard I can remember that, goddammit, I know some real good folks and I’m glad they’re around, and that’s pretty cool.

Today is both days, but mostly the second. That’s a victory.
