Too weird to live, too rare to die.

of Odyssey and Kimchi

Yesterday was a big day for Odyssey, she went for TPO (Triple pelvic Osteotomy) surgery for her right hip (will have another surgery in two months). 
The drive to the clinic was emotional, I was on the verge of breaking into tears thinking about it. When we arrived, Odyssey resumed her role to greet literally everyone in the clinic. She didn't miss anyone at all, even the cat in the cage received her greeting.
We had to wait a while for the clinic to clean up the kennel for her. Once we were there, a family was crying for their sick dog who needs blood transfusion. I didn't really say goodbye to Ody, just a quick 'good luck' (WTF right) cos I felt I needed to get out of there before I started crying. Indeed the moment I sat in my car, tears started flowing non-stop. 
A little walk for pee and poo before heading to the clinic. 

The surgery went well when I called the clinic to check on her. I would be sending her cooked food since she's absolutely against kibbles. She's due to get discharged on Sunday so we have to get her recovery room prepared by then.

It was a long day yesterday so I spent my time cooking for Odyssey and made some kimchi.

Odyssey's meal for the next 2 days - rice, chicken, carrot, cabbage, potato and parsley.  Despite my instinct not to use it, I used stockpot to cook it since it's huge in volume but the rice got burnt. And then I transferred it BF's Dutch oven, it also got burnt a little. Epic fail.

3.4kg of chinese cabbage and 1/2 cup of salt.

Cut and salted. This has to be left for about 2 hours before pickling it. Within that 2 hours, I cooked Ody's and prepare the pickling sauce.

The picking sauce: thicken starch with sugar, fish sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic and onion, green onion, julienned radish and julienned carrot. Time to get my hands dirty. Use disposable gloves so your hands won't sting.

End product. I didn't have enough gochugaru so I added some cayenne pepper. The sauce also was a bit too watery as I didn't have enough gochugaru to thicken it.
