On evenings when I’m alone, I love a simple dinner of rice with butter and kim chee, and I really like to pile it on.  The hotter the better.  Whether made with cabbages or radish, I love the tang, the heat, and the brightness of this beautiful, fermented creation.  My first taste of kim chee was at an excellent Korean restaurant in, of all places, Rome.  I was studying art, of course, and one night enjoyed an enormous feast and a night of karaoke.  Aretha was eating her heart out that night – yes, I felt like a “natural WOMan” – and I never forgot the food.  I returned later to the same spot, struggling to order in Italian, and have since always had a weakness for kim chee, and many other Korean delicacies.  One day, I hope to make it – so if any of you have a recipe you’d be willing to share, I’d love to hear it.
