In Vino Veritas
One of the main contributions to world cuisine from Korea is kimchi - which appeals to an Englishman about as much as sauerkraut or (for that matter) the cabbage he was made to eat as a kid. It is (for the fortunate ones who haven't tried it) raw cabbage, and other barely edible vegetables, pickled in red chili paste and other things to give it flavor. Unfortunately it is still as hard, crunchy, cold and sour as raw cabbage.
I just had my second dinner alone - the other half is earning the money to pay for it!
Anyway they have, fortunately stolen some Japanese dishes to eat with it - like Shabu Shabu - which is what I just had which is very thinly sliced beef, cooked very briefly in boiling vegetable broth - with tiny mushrooms, green leaves unknown, pumpkin and unknown other things.
Cooked at the table. Unlike the picture I did not have beer but Chianti.
For thoughts occurring during dinner see "a whey with words" clickable to your right - or is it the left?

Labor Day here today, holiday ~ Still hot, like the desert. One of my friends who lives in UK visited Spain several weeks ago and said it was like a desert there. Another family was in Rome during the heat there. You try to get things done early or catch up on things inside. Even the bugs don't like the extreme heat.
Kim chee's okay but prefer sauerkraut cause you can add potatoes and saussage, etc. and make a regular meal.

I think I had something like that in a restaurant in France! Looks good and it is interesting to see what you are up to.
I am starting to look forward to Boulder at Christmas as Autumn seems to be arriving in Europe!

Indian summer inthe UK - always lovely weather when the schools go back.
I am enjoying it for the first time in 28 years - because I can not because I didn't enjoy it before, but was stuck inside!
