My, O My!

Lemon scones for lunch. Not just one but two! Made with light buttermilk, cream butter and the dry mix from JoC. Lots of lemon juice and zest. The dark fleck is basil.

Your photos make me hungry!

Thank you!

Recent lunches: Swedish-style herring. Basically with boiled eggs and cream.

Typical seafood from my part of the world.

Looks fantastic!

That miso butter is so good. I believe I learned about that reading WFD.

WOW!

Thanks all. The fish came together in mins.

Nice plate, Rooster. That’s the beauty of fish. Doesn’t take long to cook and doesn’t need many or fancy spices. When I make this I also make a miso sauce. Miso, white wine or water, a couple of drops of sesame oil, a pinch of sugar to taste. Stir well until lumps are gone and sauce is smooth.

Thanks, Saregama. I eat the claws nearly every weekend. Had tried whole crabs a couple of times but it was too much work. Price has gone up a bit since last year, like everything else nowadays.

I had mung bean pancakes today - the indian kind, puda/chilla, batter round from soaked green mung beans. With yogurt and green chutney.

I love pancakes!
Have been meaning to make Korean mung bean pancakes.

I made some of those the other day, which is what prompted these :grin:

Yes, I saw that.

A few photos of pancake stands at one of the most popular* markets in Seoul:

I didn’t dare touch the green ones. Probably green onions, which I have a strong aversion to.

Most stalls are steaming like this at this market

After checking out all the stalls I got my own. There are whole bean shoots in the pancakes.

At a pancake restaurant. A mixed plate. Red ones have kimchi brine.

*This market became hugely popular and prices went up after it was featured on TV when a certain UK chef came to town.
