Hi Friends!
I’ve got some news: some great, some slightly crunchy, and all served with a side of honest fermentation.
The Good News: The Return of the Vertical Human
This girl is officially walking! Okay, technically it’s more of an aggressive pirate hobble, but my foot is 100% weight-bearing, which means I have officially graduated from couch potato to kitchen warrior. I am thrilled to report that I am vertical instead of horizontal, and by the end of the month, I’ll be back in the kitchen making kimchi! Because I’m still easing into my two-legged life and can’t stand for an entire marathon just yet, this will be an exclusive, limited "hobble batch."
The Bad News: Inflation Has Come for the Cabbage
Now for the bitter radish in the batch. As you know, I make the trek to H Mart (Korean grocery store) in Austin to snag the good, premium, authentic ingredients. Between grocery prices doing parkour and my determination never to cut corners or compromise the recipe with cheap substitutes, my choices were:
-Make watered-down sad cabbage.
-Pay you to eat my kimchi.
-Adjust my prices.
I refuse to commit culinary treason against authentic flavor, and my landlord won’t accept kimchi as rent. So, to keep this small-batch dream alive and stay on track to becoming your reigning Kimchi Queen, prices are officially adjusting:
16oz: $10
32oz: $17
Batch Details & Pre-Orders
Pre-order window: September 21 – September 25
Batch style: Classic Napa Cabbage Kimchi only (keeping it classic while the foot behaves!)
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for checking in, sending love, and putting up with my temporary sideline status. Your support kept my spirits up, and I genuinely cannot wait to get these jars into your hands and reconnect with you all.
