Well, it's been forever and five days since I last posted, but so much has happened in the past couple of months. I've moved about two hours north to a small mid-Georgia town where I am now teaching 10th grade. I finally moved out of my mom's house, for which she was NOT happy. Fellow Asian children...I think you can empathize with me on this one. Having my own place and my own kitchen does have its advantages though. I've been able to experiment a bit with my recipes and have found some really fantastic new Korean food sites as well. My favorite so far is Maangchi's Cooking Show. It's a fairly new webpage that features tutorial videos on several Korean recipes. I love the step-by-step instructions and have already made two successful dinners using her recipes for Korean BBQ and beanpaste stew. And after some trepidation, I've even attempted the Kimchee recipe she has posted. It turned out pretty good, but only time will tell if it's truly fridge worthy kimchee. It's always the fermentation process that has eluded me in the past. Here's a pic of the finished product.


And here's a pic of my poor kitchen after all of today's work. Which, let me clarify, involved making kimchee, stirfrying pork w/bitter melon, Korean spicy eggplant saute, and Chinese broccoli w/oyster sauce. Why so much food you ask? Because I absolutely hate cooking during the week. Whenever I come home, the last thing I want to do is stand on my feet chopping and stirring.
