Late last week, I came down with a cold. At first, I tried to pretend it wasn’t happening, but it was not to be ignored. And so I spent the last five days in a bit of a haze, doing only the things that absolutely had to be done. I taught my classes and did the demos I’d committed to doing, but I skipped all extras, including grocery shopping.
Today was the first day that I felt anywhere near normal. I woke up ravenous and headed to the fridge, hoping for something fresh and delicious. Instead, I found a number of weird odds and ends, and no fresh vegetables whatsoever.
There was slightly stale half a bagel, a few eggs, and some end of a jar of the most delicious kimchi ever (it was from the July food swap and was so darn good). And so, I toasted the bagel and spread all the kimchi goodness into it (probiotics!). A single fried egg went on top. And it was delicious.
Eggs and kimchi. Make sure to try it.
Wishing you well and hope you get over your cold and get to feeling better soon
I’ve been in a similar boat, and this is the first day in a week that I’ve really felt up to anything… Egg on a bagel sounds just what the doctor ordered! Too bad there’s no kimchi here…
I have the same kimchi in my fridge from the July swap! I wish I had the recipe that she uses to try and duplicate it. All the kimchi we’ve made since doesn’t compare! I have a bit of a cold as well so I’m trying this for breakfast, it sounds amazing.
Come back to Portland Oregon and you can have Kimchi and a fried egg from the food cart, Kim Jong Gillin. He does a great Bibim Box that has both plus noodles, rice, veggies and your choice of grilled meat. It’s FAB!
