Farmer's Market -- 8 Oct 2016 (Pumpkin Day, 17th of Grape Harvest, Year 225)

White kimchi, regular kimchi, 2 dozen eggs, ham & cheese croissant, pain du chocolate, magness pears, spy, black twig, and honeycrisp apples, garlic, baby ginger, mushrooms, and a tomato (caprese sandwich!).

I've been eating kkakdugi for breakfast every few days, and wonder if it would be worth the money and effort to try making my own. The recipe I have starts with 5 lbs of daikon radishes, which seems like a lot more than I need at any one time. I did ask the salesguy at No. 1 Sons and he suggested the next time, I could try leaving out the sugar and using a savory broth when I make kabocha porridge, or any of the Korean porridges, since I found it way too sweet. I think I will, at least once.

Also, I asked and the booth that sells the magness pears (which are SUPER tasty, much better than Bartletts or Bosc) will be having their Juliette pears in a few weeks -- I definitely want to buy a bunch of those and can them, because they are amazing!
