TMI Moment

This might be too much information, but I felt the need to share. If you thought that asparagus made your pee smell badly, dear lord, it can't be anything compared to what kimchi does (I don't know about the asparagus thing, apparently I'm lacking an enzyme or something). After eating this Korean staple, which is basically spicy cabbage, your pee is the most toxic, rank thing you can imagine. It's horrific.

So, in case you were considering eating kimchi and then letting your yellow mellow - don't do it!

Fun teaching info, I have a student in my intensive reading comprehension class who can't read, at all. Not even the word "the." It's gonna be a long two months.

I have the asparagus enzyme...it's unpleasant but not nauseating. Amazing how quickly it takes effect, too.

Bummer that your pee smells bad, but I am so jealous that you get to eat kimchi all the time. I guess it will probably get old, but it seems pretty fantastic even with the symptoms!

How much are you eating? We have yet to notice this side effect. Maybe the BBQ counteracts it or something.
