pie and kimchi

Yesterday after another day of strawberry picking I made this lemon strawberry pie. It needed to sit for 4 hours so we didn't eat it until tonight. It was great and not too terrible for you either.
Strawberry Lemon Pie
First make a grahm crust (6 crackers with melted butter smushed down into a pie plate).
Mix 2 boxes fat free cream cheese with 1 7 ounce jar of marshmallow creme (gross, I know, but not too too terrible). Add 1 TBSP lemon juice. Once this is light and fluffy, mix in 2 cups strawberries. I think I should have drained my berries awhile. The pie didn't set well. But it was still awesome.




I've been talking about making Kimchi for awhile. With our latest scheme to try and eat food from every nation in the World Cup, it seemed like the time. So I started it yesterday. I put the nappa cabbage in a salt water brine over night. Today I started putting it all together to ferment.

~salt, sugar, chilis and fish sauce

It says to leave this on the counter for 24 hours and then put it in the fridge for 2-3 days. I'm not sure what to expect. But I will tell you something- Fish sauce smells TERRIBLE! Food is such an experiment, and I love that.
