We have been eating, this awesome kimchi I made a couple of weeks ago…I will have to figure out what I had done to make it come out so good. maybe I won’t be able to recreate it but I am up for the challenge. :)

I have been making kimchi since I was 3 and could help my Korean Grandmother. I do not really have a lot of available korean stores or restaurants here, since living in Germany. I have to make it every couple of weeks, days, months, depending on our eating habits. The kimchi I have been making lately has been to our tastes fantastic.
We moved the country, and have a bigger house I also have an extra refrigerator. I have the small German on in the kitchen and the American one in the garage. I keep all of the korean condiments, kimchi’s, extra water, and leftovers, and some of the veggies in the big refrigerator since the small one doesn’t hold much. Having the extra refrigerator has made it so much easier to make kimchi, and store it. Before I had to use small canning jars to hold our kimchi. Now I can use 2 quart jars, or gallon jars if I wanted. So, I have been making more kimchi than I had made in Stuttgart.

Lately though my kimchi has been really great. I mean it was good before but this has my DH doing the Kimchi Shimmy. I will have to post a recipe soon as we get near emptying out the last jars. I can’t say whether you would think it is the most awesome but it is rocking our boat. :)

So I have had some pommes frites, with currywurst sauce, mayo and onions…Not good for my diet, but mighty tasty treat.

A lot of people say that the currywurst sauce is just ketchup with curry powder, but a lot of places I have eaten it is more than that. If it is just ketchup with curry powder than it better be really good homemade ketchup with a sweet/tart/spicy twang.

Living here in Germany, I have found my english spelling and grammar declining and I can’t remember sometimes which language I am spelling in, of course my german is terrible currently. *sigh*

DH ” You know I have been living in Germany too long when I misspell a word with an umlaut, and it bugged me.”

I have been misspelling words in english and German ever since I moved here and started to try to learn the language…

It took me long enough to spell umlaut correctly in english. I desperately wanted to add an “e”.

I wish I had taken a picture of the fries, but they are long demolished. Sorry guys. I promise I will take photos the next time. :)
