past messages.

Thanks.

Wow! I had a chance to follow my own advice today.

Our spinach was bolting! Whew, I sure was glad I knew

how to make kimchee out of it. Then I found about

three quarts of Jerusalem Artichokes in the

refrigerator. Hmm, those have been taking up space

since I spaded the garden in March! They were getting

fuzzy too, so yup, I modified the ginger carrots

recipe and did them up too.

Once finished I thought about sealing them with a

plastic bag of water. You can see how I did it

using a clean sandwich bag and about 1/4 cup of

water in this url -- sorry it is so long:

Anyway you can see all five jars in this picture:

If you have trouble getting them to work, then here is

the link to my Photo album, and you can pick out

the titles having to do with 'bag seals' and 'Spinach

Kimchi and Ginger Sunchokes'

In three days I find out how they turn out!

Cheers!

No need to feel embarrassed! Our spinach was three

feet high and sprouting flowers that would soon

become seedheads. I think bolting is a generic term

for when any vegetable does this, usually in hot

weather. When I saw the spinach doing that I was

knew I had better harvest it all immediately.

Actually I left a few plants to make seeds for next

year.

Kimchee probably has been discussed before here,

but it is a Korean name for a wide variety of

lacto-fermented vegetables. Most westerners first

impression is that it stinks and does not smell

like food, but it does not take much to get hooked

on the flavor. If you search the internet for Kimchi

or Kimchee there are sites with long lists of

varieties. At my first glance it looks like they

fermented everything that they could, and that is

quite a bit. Spinach Kimchee is pretty common, as

far as I could tell, although I never did specifically

find a recipe for Jerusalem Artichokes.

BTW for anyone interested, by the time I got home

tonight all the Artichoke jars were spilling over.

I am new at this. So now there are four jars

instead of three with the water filled ziplock bags

all the way inside. I am thinking I like Heidi's

method of doing the fermentation inside a ziplock

bag much better.

Cheers!

BTW: our local organic guy, when his plants bolted, harvested the flowers

and put them in salads. They were excellent! This year I took the onion

flower heads and put them in kimchee. So if you catch the " bolted " parts

it's still usable.
