[Opus the Poet]

I have a working classroom style overhead projector I picked up at Thrift Town you can borrow. Personally, I think the picture of all the girls surrounding sleeping Monica after the Library titled her a sub-titan would make for a good mural.

Ooh, an overhead projector...I may take you up on that when I get to the projection stage of it. Dallas is close enough for a drive.

You better let the rest of us know you're in town, too!

Ditto, we could have a mini WapsiCon someplace. Preferably someplace accessible by DART.

[Catawampus]

They were then(unlike today, made in massive onggi). Buried ground level for temperature control and fermentation.

One of the times I made the stuff, one of the jars buried in the yard exploded and terrorised the neighbourhood because people thought that it might be some sort of a gas leak.

When I drive up to Dallas, I'll plan it ahead of time. I'd like to try and have a dinner with the Wapsis in town...

As Grim'n'Gritty® as this is starting the week, i predict silliness ahead.

That's a pretty safe prediction for this comic... any time.

When i was six or seven, we'd visit my grandmother in Berwyn, and ride the El into Chicago proper to do things like the Museum of Science and Industry.

Dad would point out tubs of sauerkraut and pickles maturing on back porches.

Or those of you in my neck of the woods can ask for a ride. I don't mind providing free transportation to the folks on the east side of the metroplex.

Gee, I wonder where you could get a picture of the Minneapolis skyline....

You must have missed watching Jewel in the Palace ( Dae Jang Geum) enough times...

Thats the Chic-ag'o my Dad grew up in...

Count me in! The Conroe/Dallas run is a piece of cake.

Gee, I wonder where you could get a picture of the Minneapolis skyline....

It is an attractive skyline. This summer I visited a first cousin, once removed, and her husband in Minneapolis. They had recently moved from a place out near Chisago City to an apartment near U of M (and Dinkytown!). Great view of the Stone Arch Bridge and the new Viking's stadium.

[DinkyInky]

DinkyInky still is more than a little hellfire...and a whole lot of special lady!

Ya got me blushing here...blushing!

Yeah, but now it's called, "엄마 곰".

Hugs to Miss Julie!

You didn't catch my drift...

In general, modern Koreans don't bury their onggi. Access to modern refrigeration kinda makes it not necessary...at least, that's what my Grandmother told my Mother on a long ago visit(she still lives in I think Gangnam part of Seoul)that only traditionalists still do it, though most still use onggi over glass jars.
Personally, if I found a potter here that could make them, I'd never use glass again...black bean paste...red pepper paste...soy pickled scallions and garlic...

Mother only did the burial thing once. She said sea pressure(I think she meant with respect to sea level) and temperatures in the Midwest aren't good for that.
She uses a decommissioned freezer, and only lost one onggi, due to her using thai fires(she did not know that that's what they were) in a smaller one, which prolly was thinner.

My Grandfather and DziaDzia used to make sauerkraut in old Vlasic barrels.

I drift a lot...

What was the discussion, Chicago? How 'bout dem Bears? No, wait, bears in Minneapolis too...

[Jabberwonky]

When I do get there, I'll have wheels, so I won't mind picking up one or three. But I will be following my phone to find anything...

[TazManiac]

"I'm not a Play'a
I just drift a lot..."

Yeah, I generally don't bury my food anymore, I was just curious to see if I could do it the old-fashioned way. All of the Korean people I've known who make their own stuff just cram it into a cellar or electric cooler, which I suppose makes life easier on the groundhogs.

You'd have less groundhogs...unless they have a taste for spicy, lightly alcoholic foods.

Could be the story seed for a Caddyshack sequel...
