Making Kimchi

Last Wednesday Sister Lee worked hard with a couple of her friends to make kimchee for the mission for the year. They had a couple of long tables set up in the church parking lot in order to have enough workspace for the numbers of people involved. Our office elders helped, along with the new Oncheon Sisters team. The first picture is of onions, garlic, and ginger root. Next picture is of little shrimp. Next picture is of the radishes shredded up finely. Lots of red paste is in the batch of kimchee. Sister Lee was given notice that the cabbage would be ruined by the cold weather/freeze we are expected to get this week, so she had to quickly get everything and everyone ready to make the kimchee a week earlier than she originally planned to do. Wednesday night we got a knock at our door and there was an old lady wanting something. Dad went outside to talk to her and found that she and her friend wanted to take the radish tops that were cut off and in the trash. Dad called Sister Lee (because she saves everything and uses it for something). Sister Lee asked if they were poorly dressed and then instructed Dad to give the tops to the women. I think it’s amazing that they knew about the radish tops in the trash (they must have been watching them throughout the day). And it’s amazing how the whole process works!
