Rice, cucumber kimchee, and Korean spinach salad.
I took an English cucumber, sliced it, and gave it a heavy coating of kosher salt. After about 30 minutes, I rinsed it off and then squeezed the excess water out. I added crushed garlic, red pepper flakes, a dash of rice vinegar, and some sugar. Mixed it all up.
For the spinach I boiled some water and dumped baby spinach in it for a few seconds, took it out, and then ran it under cold water. I made a dressing from sesame oil, rice vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mixed it all together and topped with toasted sesame seeds.

A new food cart coming your way. Who knew a slice of cucumber, a salty chip (in this case a plantain chip) and a chunk of curried-sesame tofu could be so good. Also a slice of banana with the curried tofu was so so good. Leif and I had a little picnic from random stuff from Food Fight Vegan grocery, and we had no bread or tortillas or forks. So ta-da!
California Sea Cucumber (Parastichopus californicus), Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, San Mateo County, CA.
My wife found this and, according to Ranger Steve, this is the first time one of these guys has been reported at the Reserve.
The spines only look sharp and are actually soft to the touch. Apparently the California Sea Cucumber can expel its internal organs and regenerate them. Now that's a pretty neat trick!
