To balance out the kimchi post,

and to keep the reader in perspective on how solidly to take my Korean cooking advice, I present:
In all its glory, my recipe for White Trash Cosmos (the only thing vaguely "cosmo" about this is the vodka and lime juice):
1 and 1/2 oz. cheapest local vodka
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1/4 fresh lime
4 ice cubes
Muddle with vigor
3 oz. Diet Dr. Pepper
-shake and serve
Be careful not to shake much due to the whole carbonation thing... Really, you could just mix and serve...

If you do not understand the DP, thang, you are not from Texas, and you may not be my friend...
