I can always tell when he's been eating it. I am a big bulgogi fan. But your analogy is perfect. It is in the time, the sitting and stewing that we get the best flavor.jdsanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04658357606303732115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481044087917634818.post-71911911947361102362010-02-11T23:45:28.421-05:002010-02-11T23:45:28.421-05:00I've never tried it either, but I loved readin...I've never tried it either, but I loved reading what you wrote about it.

But I pulled it out again 6 months later, and all the things that stumped me were easy to solve. I ended up cutting 12,000 words -even some I dearly loved, but they didn't move the story forward. Good advice!<br /><br />I think I'm going to have to try Kimchi...Nora MacFarlanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00575333078760106784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481044087917634818.post-73375008194486107222010-02-10T21:07:24.403-05:002010-02-10T21:07:24.403-05:00I've heard of Kimchi, but have never tried it....I've heard of Kimchi, but have never tried it.

I did try kimchi once, thinking I'd like it because I love cabbage, but it had a bit too much kick for me.
