It’s been a while. I’m sorry that I couldn’t keep the posts up as regularly as it should be, but we’re back. I’m also very happy to inform you guys that we have just moved to the new place. It feels so home, but we haven’t done any décor yet. So what we’ve been doing this days are unpacking, organizing and looking for stuffs for our new home.

I don’t know what about this new place. It makes me very housewifely. I cook and bake a lot. And moreover, I make thing from scratch a lot more. There are few jars of homemade tomato sauce, sambals and spicy condiment in the fridge. And I plan to make some jam and jelly when strawberries hit the market.

Today I make Sweet Carrot and Onion Kimchi. It’s milder than the regular version. We love a little kimchi along with our rice meal. It helps lightening up everything on the table.

3 medium size carrot (about 200 gm)- peeled and sliced thinly
