The Table for Experiences

🇰🇷Fijne avond, Netherlands!

👩🏻It's been a while since I posted pictures with some stories.

👉🏻Let me start this story by introducing .l.labarre.

🙋🏻‍♀️He is one of my loyal customers but since the first meeting, we connected over our (my father's) passion in true craftsmanship.

👴🏻As my father was traditional Korean furniture pattern designer and a carpenter,

🙆🏻‍♀️he was extremely talented and that gene seemed to have passed on to me and all my 3 brothers.

🙋🏻‍♀️So back to now, some of you have noticed that my shop doesn't have a proper sign since the opening w years ago.

🙏🏻I finally feel that I met the right person who can make the sign in the way I have been thinking about for a long time.

🪵And I have been thinking about a traditional design work involving natural wood grains and natural barks and so on.

🌱The final touch to my shop that showcases what Nature is gifting us everyday.

✌🏻And .l.labarre works with naturally fallen trees, and collects wood from the forests.

👴🏻This sign would make my father proud and smile down on me.

🙇🏻‍♀️.l.labarre will also make handcrafted chopsticks that you can buy from .

🙋🏻‍♀️So you can support this amazing sustainable carperter to continue his practice in his own pace.

✌🏻More updates will follow.

🙆🏻‍♀️Goede weekend, everyone!

👉🏻 With permission from ,

💁🏻‍♀️Our workshop incorporating Kimchi Hotel is an intensive experience.

🇰🇷With the intricate recipe, comes the long history and rich culture behind it.

🧏🏻‍♀️And each Kimchi made by different person, different pot, different timing of the season,

✌🏻The aging process is different, hence the result of Kimchi is also different.

👵🏻It is something to remember by for the rest of your life!

Classic Kimchi | Napa Cabbage | houseoffermentation 'Classic Kimchi (Vegan) with Napa Cabbage' workshop is the best way to start your journey into Korean fermentation. While there are countless types of Kimchi in Korea, the main principle is to allowing fermentation to continue for many years to come. What's in it for you? - 2hour + interactive sessi...

'But doesn't soy milk destroy the Brazilian rainforest?'
'And what about almond milk, doesn't that require huge amounts of water?'

For people who still believe (or want to fool themselves) that plant-based milk is bad for the environment, here are the facts -->

(read more here: https://lnkd.in/e7T2GCBf)

p.s. 95% of Brazilian soy is used for animal feed. Globally, more than three-quarters of soy, by mass, is used for animal feed. If you really worry about soy production and consumption, go vegan!

👩🏻‍🌾Goede morgen, world!

💁🏻‍♀️Perhaps I am too optimistic about urban gardening BUT,

🚧This year, Kimchi Hotel garden went through so so much,

💁🏻‍♀️that I am amazing by all the vegetable plants that survived this year.

👉🏻1 major construction at the next door will obscure the sun next year,

👵🏻So I am more worried about next year's harvest.

🙋🏻‍♀️This radish has grown beautifully under

👉🏻Slug attacks,
👉🏻Bird attacks,
👉🏻Chicken attacks,
👉🏻Tree branches falling,
👉🏻Leaves avalanche,
👉🏻Construction pollution,

💚Still, I will continue on planting, caring, learning, and improving.

🌞Goede daaag, Amsterdam!

💚Sun's out,

✌🏻Seats are out.

👌🏻Hidden gem,

💁🏻‍♀️Is what i am working on.

👩🏻‍🌾Goede dag, World!

💁🏻‍♀️Just saying.

🐦I know that there are certain bird species that lay eggs in other birds' nest,

🏯Our Grand Moon Palace gets a lot of animal visitations everyday.

🐓But these are totally chicken eggs.

☝🏻I just don't know the one in the middle belongs to which hen...

💁🏻‍♀️by the end of September BUT what do you know,

👉🏻My neighbour on the right hand side began huge renovation.

🙋🏻‍♀️I am not discouraged tho as I see this as another opportunity to,

🌿Change the boarders to be greener,

👩🏻‍🌾Goooooeeed mandag, everyone!

🐓Olivia just laid by far the biggest chicken egg I have ever seen in my life.

🥚And a brown one!

🙋🏻‍♀️This just blew my mind this morning!

👩🏻‍🏫Because I always felt that I am not taking care of them well enough.

🥬"Am I giving them enough greens?"
🧮"Am I giving themveno7gh Calcium and Phosphorus??"
💚"Do they now have enough space to feel happy and free??"
🙆🏻‍♀️"It's rainging today, are they warm enough?"
💨"It's windy today, are they warm enough?"

👵🏻Now I know that perhaps I have been over feeding them,

👵🏻and perhaps over-worried about them,

🤣Seeing this giant egg, that is too big to fit in the egg carton,

🐓I will sleep with less insecurity tonight.

🐓The Grand Moon Palace news, World!

🐔The pack leader "Yellow" has been given a lovely name by,

👌🏻The Kickstarter backer.

☝🏻They are a family with smart young girl,

🙆🏻‍♀️Who came to visit the GMP last weekend.

🙋🏻‍♀️Havinv been introduced to one and each hen,

👧🏻The daughter decided to name the leader: Olivia!

💚What a Perfect Name for this elegant young hen,

👩🏻‍🏫And Olivia began laying more formed egg that I can distinguish from other hen's egg,

🏖On dayoffs, I can't check everytime each hen lays egg,

👩‍⚕️So I have to be able to tell the difference between the 4 eggs,

☝🏻Especially now Orange lays an egg everyday.

😎I am proud enough say that I can tell already by its colours.

💁🏻‍♀️You can tell too, can't you?!

🔆Mooooi mandag, World!

🏋🏻‍♀️It's my day off but I couldn't resist.

🙋🏻‍♀️Once I had everying I needed for Kimchi Hotel,

👷🏻‍♀️I just wanted to get it done so I can see this look myself!

🏖n the past week has been moving send in,

🧱laying the tile,

📦Move the pots around then unbox,

💺Build More benches, table, and planters,

🧹Cleaning up at the end of each day,

🏗 taking out unnecessary materials, finally!

🌿Goede weekend, world!

👌🏻Tile work is nearly done.

🐓The Grand Moon Palace is almost done.

💚Kimchi Hotel is set.

👷🏻‍♀️I have a few other adjustments in mind but that will begin in time.

🏋🏻‍♀️Kimchi Hotel will be ready for full on display from the coming week.

🙋🏻‍♀️My body can rest with happy thoughts today.

👷🏻‍♀️Goedemiddag, world!

🌧Rainy days seem to be the most motivating days to do some muddy work.

🙋🏻‍♀️But I just couldn't wait when it feels like all the resources I needed to finish up the Kimchi Hotel had fallen into my lap.

🏋🏻‍♀️After the weekend, this part of the garden will be cleaned up,

📦All the boxes will be opened and removed.

💺And those wood pallets will become a bench.

🙆🏻‍♀️I can truly feel the end is near.

👷🏻‍♀️The end of all the major developments in Kimchi Hotel.

👵🏻And all the visitors can freely walk all around Kimchi Hotel.

🐓Et voila!

🏋🏻‍♀️She did it!

🐔Just after Yellow laid her egg.

👉🏻Orange went in and laid her first proper size egg.

🤟🏻Now all the hens are 1 egg each everyday.

🙋🏻‍♀️2 6 eggs-cartons of these ladies are available for purchase.

👷🏻‍♀️Goedemorgen, World!

🤟🏻I just received about 272 tiles from the neighbour.

🏋🏻‍♀️and you know what that means.

👌🏻But this will be truly the last change for Kimchi Hotel section,

👩🏻‍🏫That I hoped I could get in the first place.

🙋🏻‍♀️And I didn't expect the next door neighbour to clean up the garden last week,

🙆🏻‍♀️The timing just couldn't have been better.
