Thanks Angie! The rusty nail is the burdock root. I used half of it thinly sliced on the mandolin for the kimchi. It’s not pretty but it tastes good.

Thanks Anton! Scratch and sniff would be amazing here. The kimchi might scare some people off. The weirdest scratch and sniff sticker I ever had was a T-bone. It smelled like pepper and liquid smoke.

This site needs scratch and sniff.
Nice start, Liz! I look forward to learning more about food and Portland with you.

Thanks Diane! It’s a really fun project and I’m learning so much every day.

Hey Paul! Thanks for looking at my site and blog. That small jar of kimchi — the one in the spicy pickled okra jar — has Wendy’s name on it, the one next to it is for Amanda, and the big one is ours. Next batch will be a lot bigger though and you can definitely have some. I’ve never added lotus or burdock to my kimchi and I’m really liking both — esp. the lotus root.

Hi Liz! It’s your new friend and fellow sheet mulching aficionado, Paul. Quite an impressive bit of writing and reviews you’ve done. And I definitely want to try some of that kimchee you made! I had no idea the variety and number of ingredients involved.
