jamis / Easy Marshmallow Recipe
Created December 10, 2009 22:38
Easy Gourmet Marshmallows
EASY MARSHMALLOWS
-----------------
Marshmallows are perhaps one of the simplest confections you can make. They only
require a handful of ingredients, a batch can be thrown together in 10-15 minutes
(plus *cough* 3 hours for them to set), and you can flavor them however you like.
(You haven't LIVED until you've had coconut marshmallows!)
Hardware needed:

Use one of these techniques to install node and npm without having to sudo. Discussed in more detail at http://joyeur.com/2010/12/10/installing-node-and-npm/ Note: npm >=0.3 is *safer* when using sudo.
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc
mkdir ~/local
mkdir ~/node-latest-install
cd ~/node-latest-install
curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=1
./configure --prefix=~/local
make install # ok, fine, this step probably takes more than 30 seconds...

Basic Baechu Kimchi
BASIC BAECHU KIMCHI
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Baechu (Napa cabbage) kimchi is one of the staple foods in Korea. Spicy
and tangy, it is typically served as a side dish, with rice, but is also
found in various Korean soups and stews.
This basic version has just the fundamentals; once you're comfortable
with this version, you might try adding shredded carrots, Daikon radish,
pickled baby shrimp, or any number of other things. Search around online
