Gather around the table and learn of the 4,000 year old national dish of Korea. We will be making both white kimchi and the more familiar spicy red kimchi. The knowledge gleaned from this transfers to other fermented vegetable dishes from around the world.
If you want to bring some home, please bring jars or other containers to carry it. Due to the cost of materials, it will be $1.50 per pint/pound of kimchi.
Due to space restrictions, this workshop is limited to 10 people. Please RSVP to the host by email at seneschal@ostgardr.eastkingdom.org
Looking forward to seeing you there.

On the first Sunday of September, many volunteers from across the East came together to help put on the Sunday dayboard at the Feast of John Barleycorn. These people worked tirelessly, in less than optimal conditions, and without their service, the dayboard would not have come out on time and with the quality offered.
My deepest thanks to all the following people. If I have omitted anyone from this list, please accept my apologies and let me know so I can correct the oversight.
