Shredding,

With an impending attempt at make my own Kimchi here are some relevant links:

• Critical MAS recipe
• Another random Kimchi recipe
• bacterial content
• Random use of Kimchi

From these and some other now lost links the basis is simple:

• Brine napa cabbage for up to 12 hours, drain and reserve brine
• Mix random amounts of
• Fish sauce, even some whey
• Loads of garlic, some ginger (cut not shredded)
• Daikon or some special Korean thing; optionally carrots and/or pears for sweetness.
• Chili flakes, or powder
• Raw oyster, shrimp paste, octopus or seemingly any random sea stuff, not to much though.
• more stuff
• Ferment it at room temperature for 3 to 6 days, make sure none of the solids is sticking out of the brine.

Well the amounts are not all that random, fluids should be less than needed to cover all the vegetables and then filled up with the reserved brine.

Make sure that no oxygen gets to the fermenting vegetables, eg. by putting a plastic bag into the mouth the jar and filling it with brining liquid, dispose bag and liquide before putting the jar into the fridge.

Another way is to keep a big jug in the fridge, without the initial room temperature fermentation, for "fresh" tasting Kimchi and a smaller one at room temperature for the sour stuff.
Keep filling the small container from the big one as needed.

No to get a big jug.

Yesterday I did mean to to "Hotel Exercise", in a hotel without gym, I even brought equipment, in the form of a jump rope, my double under need lots of work.

But after a long workday, some 12 hours, and having found out that the hotel restaurant closed, like four minutes before we arrived, I decided not to do any strenuous exercise.
The main reason: there was no food to be had within any reasonable walking distance, and we are without a car, so here is our fine dinner:
Beer and a small bowl of nuts.

Big dinner is obviously overrated.

And, yes I know that my camera phone is much more phone than camera, especially after a glassy-something that is supposed to protect the lens from the outside world fell off.

2/3 CFWU.
Then a trimmed Crossfit event 10:

15cal C2 Row
15 Knee up from bar
15 SD-HP 24 kg Kettle bell
20 Burpees
15 Shoulder to overhead 40 kg.

I almost shortened the exercise in my hated burpees and S2O but I pushed through, since I am really over the just started period.

Times:

0:51 C2
1:06 Knee up
0:38 Sumo dead-lift high pull
2:50 Burpees
2:17 Shoulders to Overhead 40kg

Total: 7:44

2/3 CFWU and then

AMRAP in fifteen minutes of
10 x 8 kg wall balls
10 x ring knee ups
10 x 50 cm box jumps

Did 7 rounds with 3 seconds to spare.

Wonderfully exhausted.

Stretches and home.

five rounds for time of:
10kg Dumbbell hang squat clean, 12 reps
12 Pull-ups
30kg Power clean, 10 reps
10 (Handstand) push-ups

At round three I was all out of steam and all but collapse on the floor.
Also managed to mess up the timing so no data on this one.

Starting is hard.
