How Does Your Dragon Fruit Grow?

Pitaya! Oooh, they bring back so many wonderful memories of my time in Leon, Nicaragua. I never ate the fruit there--it was always prepared as an ice cold, super refreshing drink. Just halved and squeezed into a pitcher with water and some sugar added. YUM! Now, if only there was a post about mamones...

The Cider Press: Cider and Cheese Pairing

Agreed! Next week I start working at a local cheese shop here in Minneapolis--it's in a liquor store, though! Can't wait to learn about both, but I'm like AnthonyC, wine and chees pairings? I'd rather have cider!

How to Make Cold-Brew Iced Coffee

I worked at a Dunn Brothers, and we coarsely grind four pounds of beans for four gallons of water, let it sit room temp for 22 hours, then take out the filter. Crazy smooth delicious results. So, for a home cook, that easily translates to one pound for one gallon (which gets expensive, yes) ratio-wise. Some easier math!

Video: How a Korean Great-Grandmother Makes Kimchi

@azukidaisuki, I'd love your family recipe! That'd be an honor.

@droostring, thanks for the info and recommending the Three Crabs fish sauce, I've never purchased fish sauce before!

Video: How a Korean Great-Grandmother Makes Kimchi

I'm allergic to shrimp, but I would so love to make kimchi--@droostring, do you not add shrimp because of taste preference, how you learned to make it, or allergies? Does anyone have substitutes or nice additions that could mimic or enhance kimchi that doesn't have shrimp?
