House ferment, fully occupied
Kimchu
Six tenants. One bowl. Nobody signed a lease.
The Shared Bowl
Kimchu began as one sensible cabbage and a scheduling error. By day three, six faces had claimed the good leaves, the cool side of the fridge, and equal access to the chopsticks. They disagree on salt, temperature, and who keeps opening the lid. They agree the brine belongs to everyone.
