Guest guest Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 Hi Heidi, The pale section is not slimy, just pale. It has been in the fridge the whole time. I used kefir whey to make the kimchee.I think I'll be brave and give it a taste tomorrow. By the way the kefir grains you sent me are happily growing in some raw cream. This makes the most delectable,thick slightly sour, cream in the world. Thanks again for sending them my way.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 I think my kimchee is fine too. It tastes okay. I just made so much of it that it had to sit a long time in the cold. No harm done. I made some fruit chetney with apples and peaches and more saurekraut today. I love to ferment foods. They are so delicious. Thanks for your reply, Suze.
