I made kimchi!

I followed the "Easy to Make Kimchi" http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/easy-kimchi
without the squid, fish sauce, carrot, and leek. Also, I only used one cabbage.

It looks beautifully red in the container. I'm so proud ;-)
It definitely is going to enrich my diet. Moreover, this Christmas,
I have something special for people who gave me home-crafted delicacies!
I hate to sit on the receiving end--it's like the ball is always in my court, culturally speaking, of course.
How liberating!
