some wisdom

1. in case any of you guys are wondering if it is ok to just flush a banana peel down the toilet, it is not. it will clog your toilet.

2. if you ever try it anyways, make sure you remember to unclog it before you poop.

You are welcome.

I think I like this stuff. Alot.

I was digging around the fridge for lunch earlier this week when I came across a jar of this:

What is this….Kimchi? How dare someone bring this atrocity into this chinese household!

…is what I would have said if I didn’t secretly kinda like kimchee.

So I opened it up and piled a bunch of it on my rice and began to eat and….oh. em. gee.

Something was different. It was fantastic. I couldn’t stop eating it. This was absolutely the best kimchi I ever had. No. This is the best THING I’ve ever had.  I piled some more on top of my rice. And again. And again. Soon the 30/70 ratio of Kimchi to Rice was no longer satisfying. 50/50. 60/40. 80/20. I lifted the jar to my mouth and began to shovel heaping spoonfuls of this fermented goodness into my mouth like a madman as bright orange-red juices ran down the side of my mouth. Each spoonful just could not reach my mouth fast enough. I couldn’t quell the unsatiable desire for the mouth watering crunch each piece brought. Unbelievable! Ridiculous! I shouted, with bits of kimchee flying out of my mouth.  Scrumptrulescent! I declared, as I slammed the empty jar down on the table panting, catching my breath.

…kidding. Are you crazy? I don’t really eat like that.

Really though, it was so good, that I don’t believe it is normal kimchi. It’s got to be like kimchee on crack. Realistically I am pretty sure this has got to be some other form of kimchi that isn’t what I am accustomed to in the past. Seeing as how I don’t read korean, nor am I a kimchi expert, I would like to employ the services of 50% of modernanthology and any korean readers out there.

Any clues as to why this “kimchee” (if that indeed is what it is) was so good? Where I can find more of it? How I can get these kimchi stains out of my face and shirt? jk on that last one.

This closeup might provide some clues:

Anyways, if anyone is ever around the northbrook area come over and I’ll let you try some. Just don’t patronize me with statements like “This is mediocre at best,” or “This isn’t even kimchi you idiot,” or “Dude, why do you keep calling me to come over, I don’t want to try that stupid crap you call ‘kimchi’”

Cause then you would be a kimchi elitist.

and a jerk.
