I made yoghurt scones today~
Again, using yoghurt cream (super creamy leftover of yoghurt left on a coffee drip overnight)

the resulting texture was a cross between hard scones and fluffy bread.
those polka dots are rum infused raisins topped on top of the dough before baking.
didnt want to mix them in this time =P
i had them with cream cheese and ham for lunch.

J had this for lunch...
J obento

Sautted chicken in pizza sauce, macaroni salad, butter rice with smoked cheese bits topping
For dinner today, i used yuzu (Japanese citrus) that i bought from somebody’ s garden.
In Japan, it is common to find small packs of vegetables, fruit, or anything that can be grown in the garden, sold outside the home entrance. Just drop in the into the coin box usually provided next to the produce.
I dropped the yuzu slices into the pot and broiled this pregnant flatfish in sweet soya sauce for 15minutes....
we had the fish with a side burdock salad and pumkin and onion milky miso soup

spicy burdock salad made with korean miso

daikon and daikon leaves steamed rice
Daikon (Japanese white radish) is in season now and the local vegetable seller is selling a few varieties this season. This is the standard white daikon that came with the bunch of leaves sprouting from the daikon top. I sauteed the daikon strips and leaves in soya sauce and wine and popped them in the rice cooker.
The frangrance was amazing~


Oh, remember the orange cauliflower?
Apparantly, it was dicovered in some Canadian marsh 30 years ago

This variety has more Vitamin A and B carotene compared to the white one.
