Pink Chopsticks

Seriously, its mouth watering just thinking about it. I have this really weird craving now for kimchi. No, I’m not Korean but I like love it! I like mixing it with steamed rice and adding leftovers with it. Just yummy! And I could ate more than a plateful of rice when we have kimchi! Ongoing diet and diet pills be damned. And besides Kimchi, I think has evolved into one dish that is recognized all over the world as distinctly Asian cuisine.

Since, I like it so much, I figured I should try to learn how to make it. But first things first, what is Kimchi? Its a Korean dish made out of fermented vegetables. It’s quite healthy but when I pair with rice I end up eating a lot of carbo lol!

Anyways, I’ve beens searching online on recipes and how to’s on making Kimchi and I find this article from WikiHow really helpful. With lots of photos to make each step a tad easier, even a kitchen klutz like me would get this..

And a video from Koreancuisine.

I just find Lee Min Ki so adorable! Lol! And a very good actor to boot. I first saw him in Be Strong Geum Soon, a 2005 Korean drama. Just in case you don’t know him, well Lee Min Ki is a Korean model/actor. I should think he is now best known for his role opposite Chae Rim in Dalja’s Spring. Anyway, here’s Lee Min Ki wearing Lacoste for Vogue October 2010.

He’s one of those actors that I really watch out for. I find his eyes really cute, very mischievous looking and a nice body for fangirls to scream about. I love it that he’s properly proportioned and doesn’t look like he’s on human growth hormone meds. Haha..I simply just don’t like guys who has too much weirdly bulging muscles.

I must admit Beijing does not come to mind when it comes to beautiful autumn landscapes but I was surprised to see that it does have a stunning autumn scenery. Here’s some photos from Yanqi Township of Huairou District of Beijing, China.

The mountainside looks like a painting canvass awash with colors of autumn..
