So, I peer into the fridge and look at my big glass bowl of achar everyday. The thing about achar is, it tastes better with age. I know YK has been peeling open the cling film to steal some for tasting
I think it's just perfect and I bet he thinks so too, though he says, "It's good, but a little too spicy."
My colleague came by the other night and YK quickly suggested, "Aren't you going to give Aunty LT a jar of achar?"
But of course! That same night, I started dreaming the big achar dream. Maybe I can set up a small shop to sell my achar. It can be quite profitable as the cost of raw materials is low. But I can't sell nothing but achar in a shop. Maybe I can rope in my Korean friend to make kimchi. We can specialise in pickles, chutney, spices and salad dressings! We can be the spice girls!
This morning I finally bottled up the achar. I thought there was enough to feed an army but I was quite wrong. I couldn't even fill up half a dozen bottles. At first I thought I could even send some to my friends, but I guess there isn't enough to go around.
There is hope. If I decide to open the achar shop, I will need lots of practice. That's when I need many guinea pigs.

I love achar...I will be your guinea pig willingly!! :)
I have been wanting to ask you...if you want a running companion sometimes, let me know. :)
Me! Me! I can be more than a guinea pig. Those don't eat much. I can be a pig.
Hi Leah, yay, you're my first guinea pig!
Thanks for offering to be my running companion. Sounds good but to be honest, we're so far apart. Maybe easier if I start running around my area first.
Petunia - haha, you're willing to be a pig? I knew you love achar!
If you do open your achar shop please consider exporting to Australia :-)
CKL - Yes, I think so as My Sinfonia, who lives in Tasmania, also wants some!
Don't have a real shop. Have an online shop. Easier to manage. If interest (yours or the customers') wane, easier to fold becos of lower upfront n upkeep cost.
Auntie Lucia - Good idea. Need to look into the rules and regulations of selling food online though.
me me me!! i be your test pig! *WIDE GRIN*
Need guinea pig? of course me! Can you sent some to your guinea pig in Malaysia? ;-))

Wooh, sounds great! And, can I also request that Spice Girls also sell japanese pickles? Fresh, delicious, crunchy raddish pickles???
Am I too late...? I would love to be your guinea pig too!
