Kimchi 2000

Happy new year! I drew up a new header for the ol' bloggidy boo. Like? On paper it looked pretty cool and clean, but after scanning and uploading to the website, it looks kind of scrappy in comparison. Oh well, maybe I just need to break it in a little.

So I hear that Korean food is predicted to be a food trend for 2011. I don't know much about trends, but I do know that Korean food is damn good. At least, the Korean food that's on offer in this city. That is, bibimbap, tofu stew, japchae, and pork bone soup, kalbi and bulgogi for meat eaters.

Kimchi, of course, is the one of the most Korean well-known (side) dishes. For me, buying kimchi in Toronto can be hit-and-miss, until one of my work friends clued me into Kimchi Canada Farm. Their kimchi is not only the best that I've ever tasted, but its also locally grown and made in the nearby town of Newmarket. Yippeee!

A 3 litre tub of cabbage kimchi from Kimchi Canada Farm will set you back only $11, and will last you weeks. Kimchi is also said to have many health benefits, including improving digestive health. You can even use the leftover liquid and make kimchi martinis at your next cocktail party. Sounds questionable at best, but I heard first-hand that it's mm-mm-good.

So eat your kimchi with pride, you trendsetter. Just don't breathe on me after you do.
