    it's going to make me poop, isnt it...... :/

    Nevermind my previous response. It was just delayed by a couple of days. The pooping is real. My roommate is angry. This apartment smells like the inside of bloated roadkill.

    @Gallowmere1984 Try to find lacto-fermented sauerkraut. Your roommate will thank you.

    I read the title as "Dear God, the FOOLS I am falling in love with" and clicked in all ready to read the juicy details :neutral: Oh well, I did find a few things to put on my grocery list though.

    Mascarpone is great stuff.

    There's also Crème Fraîche, a highly orgasmic agent similar to Mascarpone. 11g fat, < 1g carb, 0 protein.

    Vermont Creamery makes both of 'em, and they are friggin' fantastic:
    http://www.vermontcreamery.com/créme-fraîche-1
    http://www.vermontcreamery.com/mascarpone-1

    Creme fraiche is delish! I use it as a much yummier alternative to sour cream. And if you really want the sour taste, a squirt of lemon or lime juice will get you there. Its the perfect base for a creamy salad dressing and its yummy dumped on top of some spicy beef or chicken.

    No separation anxiety?

    Nope, it doesn't separate or curdle, just don't heat it up and make sure you eat it up within 24-48 hours. My favorite dressing is creme fraiche, lime juice, garlic, salt, smoked paprika, chilli powder (actual dried chillis powdered, not the blended chilli powder), cumin, and ground allspice.

    Wow! Sounds great. Where did you run across this?

    I saw some Lime & Chilli dip in the grocery store, so I just whipped up my own version at home without all the extra questionable ingredients that no one can pronounce.

    I bought kimchi because of this thread and now I don't know what to eat it with. LOL Suggestions? We're having BBQ'd smokies this week, so I thought I'd try it on those... any other ideas?

    Eat it out of the jar, like a heathen.

    I just use it as a side accompaniment with meat. Smokies should be good!

    Pretty much this. It goes exceptionally well with eggs, but any meat that I have paired it with thus far (including ground beef, chicken thighs, wings, and legs, etc.) has worked very well with it.

    I also just scoop a pile onto my plate to eat with meat, but its also pretty good in a spicy asian soup. I'll often just toss it in a pot with some miso & dashi or some chicken broth along with some garlic, ginger, lemongrass, fresh chillis & some chopped up bits of chicken, beef or pork.

    I hope your butt is feeling better now, I suggest getting a lot of Febreeze and scented candles in to kill the poop smell and some aloe vera butt wipes, your backside will thank you.

    Where I am from we eat a lot of sauerkraut, I have yet to make my own or find a decent substitute here in the UK, but we eat it with anything meaty, makes a great and refreshing side dish. I have been known to eat it straight out from the jar with a fork from the fridge. I've had Kimchi a few times at Korean restaurants and OMG that stuff is amazing!

    Screw that noise. Their kids annoy the hell out of me, and this is a free way for me to get back at them. Bonus points because my apartment is under an building old code, where a ventilation fan isn't required in the bathroom.

    Hahahahaha. Okay well then, continue eating as you are!

    This looks fantastic! Yummo! I need to eat kimchi, I grew up eating it and just don't think to buy it-its been ages. Had some hot sauce sardines the other day..mmm forgot how good those are too! @Gallowmere1984 you're giving some great foodie ideas, I'm looking for marscaponae cheese the next time I am at the store!

    It's spiced and fermented cabbage. Just be careful the first time you ever open a jar. The gas from the fermentation process will cause some pressurized seepage when you first open the lid. I learned that the hard way.
