It’s a tuna salad on a bed of egg salad (made with gently crushed coddled eggs)

Nice, where’s the bagel from?

This one was a plain Wise Sons bagel that I got from Mollie Stone’s. They sell them in packs of 4.

Yesterday I combined leftovers to have miso butter shiitake mushrooms with the last of the crustless quiche (savory egg custard?) I made a few days ago.

Eggs were truffled, I thought the mushrooms had too much miso the other day, but somehow it all worked.

I’m back in egg custard mode… between asian versions and quiche, I could eat some every day. I guess there’s also kuku, for a more vegetable forward version.

Chawanmushi and I have a long and happy relationship.

Me too. This was actually quiche filling though - with milk and cheese, and baked.

I had Chawanmushi / chinese steamed eggs a few days earlier and realized I haven’t had quiche in over a year :joy:

I’m just glad to have a use for my ramekins, which came from I don’t even know where.

Lunch today - puda (crisp crepes / thin pancakes) made from green moong beans.

I added minced onion, serrano, and cilantro to the batter.

Haha… thanks @Rooster! Sometimes it’s just PB&J. But eating better during the day is definitely one of the benefits of now working from home.

Btw… I bought this Scallion Kit from Hamama. Idk if you remember months ago I mentioned having a hard time finding a particular sprout (sunflower) and you rec’d Hamama to grow my own. Well, I found a good sprout vendor at a local farmers market. But! My scallions always go bad before I use them all, so I bought this. Wish me luck.

That’s cool. I saw it advertised in their newsletter. I will enjoy seeing how you make out growing scallions.

It’s very easy to grow. Put a few in a cup of water until roots start to grow then put them in a pot or the ground.

Meanwhile in China, they grow it anywhere. Sometimes right next to the highway or busy roads and they are covered in black exhaust and dirt. Terrible.

I start eating when the last green onion ring is removed from my food.

Korean-style roe stew with spicy ssamjang and kimchi. Now I know what I’ll order at the seafood stall in Korea!

Fish are sold with offal either intact or separately. Photos I took at the market in Busan. There are food stalls at the edge of the fish market where you can choose the creatures and they cook them for you. These are the stalls where locals go to, cheaper than in the main building, which is absolutely amazing and very touristy, not to mention the price, but it’s a great experience.

Don’t think fish guts are for me

Huge fresh roe (black lobes). Not sure what kind of fish produces these.

It’s started snowing an hour ago, very dark outside already at 4pm. I have brightened the photo a bit.
