Got back to making kimchi again yesterday! I’ve been planning this for a while but I finally found the time yesterday to get all the ingredients I needed and make a few different kinds.
So I made up a paste of minced garlic and ginger, gochugaru and gochujang, fish sauce, chopped up spring onions and chopped daikon.
Then I used this to make a classic kimchi with napa cabbage/Chinese cabbage, a cucumber kimchi and a daikon radish kimchi.
Going to leave them to ferment for a week because its still pretty cold here.
This Tiny Crustacean Trapped in Amber Tells a Different Story About Crab Evolution
The Cretaceous-era fossil suggests that crabs left the sea some 50 million years earlier than scientists previously thought
A team of scientists has discovered the oldest aquatic animal preserved in amber. The tiny crab encased in tree resin is over 100 million years old, dating back to the Cretaceous era, according to the study published this week in Science Advances. The find—the most complete fossilized crab ever seen—is helping researchers piece together when the crustaceans began to migrate away from the sea.
Scientists can piece together what life was like millions of years ago from preserved specimens like amber fossils and bones. Insects, plants, feathers and microorganisms are specimens most likely to be found entrapped in amber. However, finding an aquatic critter fossilized in resin is extremely rare. “Finding a crab in amber is like finding a needle in a haystack,” Heather Bracken-Grissom, a biologist from Florida International University, not involved with the study, told Riley Black for National Geographic…
