    It took South Koreans that much money just to dehydrate their spicy sauerkraut?!

    Why does my heart skip the crazy beat?

    For I know it will face defeat.

    Take care and may God bless.

    Re the kimchi, money well spent. It’s just one more food I can’t go without. Or at least my mood starts a downward spiral if I’m deprived of it for too long.

    As for making it space worthy, there are several problems. First, kimchi is a fermented food that contains living organisms that are harmless on earth, but no oneand s knows what they might mutate into when exposed to cosmic radiation. They might stretch, or burn, or become invisible, or just look ugly. Wouldn’t that be fantastic?

    Also, because kimchi is alive, a dehydrated version even after rehydration would not be kimchi. As the national dish and a major obsession in Korea, that would be an abomination.

    And kimchi when opened has a pungent odor that some love and some hate but which lingers in any enclosed space… like the break room, your office, or a space station.

    Plus, it sizzles and fizzes and produces gas which can pressurize the container it is in… and is capable of “exploding” and shattering its container.

    I love it. I make it. I just picked up a new batch of Korean peppers to make some more.

    So, they finally decided to evolve in 1950, eh.

    I read Inherit The Wind in high school. Too bad the Scopes Monkey Trial had no effect.

    Too bad evolution doesn’t happen..yet another blunder by the Catholics…there’s adaptation but there is no change of kind.

    The Catholic Church has other, more important, things to answer for than their stated policy on science.

    I wonder if snakes can be allergic to people since cats can.

    Take care and may God bless.

    Didn’t the RCC finally apologize to Galileo in the early 1990s? Took them 350 years. When do they apologize for the pedophiles in the clergy?

    Is the chimp holding the skull saying, “Alas poor Yorik…”

    My so easy you can make it at home recipe for today is one I tried for the first time this morning. It’s cayenne pepper lemonade. It’s about four cups of water, one cup of lemon juice, maple syrup to taste[ probably between a half cup and a cup], and between an eighth and a fourth of a teaspoon of cayenne pepper. [If you dislike or don’t have maple syrup, honey or unrefined sugar to taste will do.]

    I think this is my favorite refresher drink for this summer.

    It was a Catholic priest that came up with the Big Bang theory.

    The statistic sounds impressive, but it only needs to stop just once…
