1st Bi Bim Bop

Hello Dear Readers,

My post a day has really been falling apart lately, it's kind of amazing to me, I can't help but think that there is some sort of psychological indicator here - while I was freelancing, overwhelmed, and sleep deprived, I was able to post every day. Now, full-time and robust, and with an iPhone (!) I can't make myself do it. :) Still trying to figure out what that means...

Anywho, with all my new found time, the boyfriend and I have been creating all sorts of food wonders. A few weeks ago, we made a huge batch of kimchi (sorry about the smell roomies!), made mostly of organic seasonal produce gathered at our local farmer's market.

The plan for this deliciousness was to more regularly feed our cravings for Bi Bim Bop. It finally has happened. Sharing Erik's missive about his first go at it with you!

Here was my first go.

Black sesame seed
Pan roasted corn
A beet/leek/garlic fried salad
Fairy dust [trans: nutritional yeast]
Korean pickled radish
Wakame seaweed

I found the red sauce to be sweet/mild...almost syrupy. Added sesame oil. It needed an egg.
