Kimchi is definitely an aquired taste. The fishier tasting kinds I still cant stomach!

Great idea! In my pre keto life I would roast up a huge batch of sugared spiced pecansā¦those are of course no longer on the menu, but savory ones could be!!

Yeah, but Iāve never seen kimchi that looks like that. Iād try one more time to be sure if you find something that looks like this:
I love green tea ice cream!!!

What a lovely trip. All of those meals look exceptional, and so colorful. I donāt do hot food so I know what you mean on the last one.

My dad had an old Canon with wonderful optics. Although I must say this is very good. I thought you might have dried apricots in there before I read the caption about tomatoes.

Remember doing this with sugared pecans. I think I used egg white to get things to stick on. You can still use the egg white with spices. Did you have a recipe for this?

Sous vide egg bites without all the carbage Starbucks puts in theirs. Bacon, cheese (half sharp cheddar, half goat cheese), eggs, cream and whole milk cottage cheese.
170 F for one hour. Iāll update with a new pic once they are finished and plated up.
They didnāt want to release from the jar so my husband ate his with a spoon right from the jar. Saves dirtying up an extra plate.
They were smooth and creamy and hubby said it was like eating pudding. Hopefully will reheat well in the microwave as the other 4 are going in the fridge.

Backpack butter for my trip to Europe on Sunday. Coffee machines everywhere in Belgium so I donāt need to take my instant keto coffee like I do when I go to China.
But canāt always get cream and no butter at the office so I pack my own. If I can have a bit of sweetener and butter I donāt need the cream.
This is my setup: cheese slicer, foil candy wraps and a block of Kerrygold.

Huh. I still say weird looking kimchi. You should be able to visually identify all the vegetables. And it should be sour as well as spicy. And ever so slightly fishy.
Edit: I just double checked with my Korean roommate. I covered the label and asked if she knew what it was. She said āsauceā. (Actually she said āsauce-uā) When I revealed it was kimchi she said sheād never seen it look that way. It is chopped too fine and sheās never seen kimchi that color.
So you still may not like kimchi, but Iād say itās worth another test if you see something with recognizable chunks of Napa cabbage that are still very white and green. Not brown.
Edit again: She said it canāt be just any cabbage. It has to be the long kind. (What I know as Napa cabbage.) That said, using another kind wouldnāt make it bad, just not authentic. She likes my homemade sauerkraut (German Kimchi as we call it at my house. Or German Paocai, depending on who Iām talking to.) itās just a different thing.

You butter system is great! If you get stuck without coffee in China, try 7-11. Many of them where I am have the machines that grind the beans on demand. But instant isnāt a bad idea just in case.

You donāt need the egg white. Hereās the two recipes that I use.
Both require 2c. pecan halves and are roasted in a preheated oven at 350F on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake 5mins, stir and bake for another 5mins. Remove and see how many are left by the time they cool completely! 
*Make 2 batches doing the plain, salted ones first and use the same parchment paper for the spicy ones on the second batch.
Regular Roasted: 1Tbs. fine salt and 2Tbs. butter, melted. Toss in a bowl and spread on your pan. Bake as above.
Spicy Roasted:
ā¢ 2 tablespoons butter, melted
ā¢ 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
ā¢ 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
ā¢ 1/4 teaspoon salt
ā¢ 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
ā¢ 8 shakes of Tabasco (optional)
ā¢ 1 tablespoon chili powder
Toss in a bowl and spread on your pan. Bake as above.

3 local duck eggs cooked in butter with salsa and topped with shredded cheddar cheese.
Coconut cream blended with cocoa powder and a dash of erythritol and vanilla. Topped with pecan bits toasted in butter and cinnamon.
Waiting on the next batch of broth to finish up so I can make a simple zucchini and mushroom soup. Iām out of keto foods so I need to hit the grocery store for some meat and veggies!

Pork belly looks fantastic! Iām not sure where could buy some in town. Iāve checked two of the stores.
Finished my surgery and I am back home. I had a brachial block, so my arm is hanging there like dead weight in the sling. The surgeon was pleased, so letās hope for no nerve damage and quick recovery.
Havenāt eaten since this morning, but not really hungryā¦ Yay keto
