What did you cook or eat today? (January 2026)

Looks very nice. What is exactly a kimchi?

Kimchi is. My wife, rest her soul, was Korean and would make our kimchi. I now make it but it's only doable in the summer around here.

Do you DIY? Not that we can get sold-alone duck legs in these parts. Usual for garbure yesterday but used remains of smoked turkey instead - good too

I do yes; frozen duck legs aren't too hard to get here.

I use a sous vide method instead of the traditional way that makes your house smell of duck fat for a week.

Here they after a bath at 68C for 36 hours:

Just before grilling:

Korean fermented cabbage with lots of chilli, garlic, other stuff.

It's kind of like Korean version of sauerkraut.

How’s she doing today?

Yesterday she had several saucers of bone broth so that's good and went out several times. Today she's had a bit of relapse and hasn't held anything down. I'm hoping it's because yesterday was productive. Idk.

Thank you.

Fermented cabbages, maybe pickled in hot spicy sauce, good for your immune system.
