Travel and food

I decided I need to spice up my life with a little travel this year. Clearly I don't make much money as adjunct faculty so I needed to come up with a different, more economical way of traveling. Even though I don't venture too far into the city, I should take advantage of some of the great cultural markets nearby before I leave this bouncy house of fun called LA.

One of my New Year's resolutions is to branch out in my cooking. I already cook quite a bit of ethnic fare, thanks to my own heritage, but I love trying new foods when I go to exotic places. Instead of breaking the bank, becoming an expat, or marrying a sugar daddy, I've decided to cook at least one exotic meal a week from a different country. If I love the recipe, I'll share it with you. If I hate it, I might share it with you anyway.

This week is a little bit of Korea. I'm making Kimchee from scratch. Right now I have the Napa cabbage soaking in salt water and it'll stay on my countertop for 2 days, yum. I know, a bowl of Kimchee does not a meal make. Take it easy, I'm clearing out some holiday food before I go grocery shopping.

Happy New Year!
