maine shrimp season!

Butter, garlic, lemon and little bit of soy sauce. It could not go wrong. What an aroma. Eat the shrimp with your hands.

Suck juices from their heads too!

pickled artichoke

I love artichokes. So I thought I should make my own artichoke pickles.
It was easier than I thought, but one artichoke only made a small jar of pickles.

Beets salad

Beets and French lentils with a very light balsamic vinaigrette. Peccorino cheese shavings are sprinkled on top.

Japanese style rolled cabbage

Japanese style fish broth and chicken, sesame, flax seeds, hijiki and tofu for filling.

sunchoke soup

I had a nice Jerusalem artichoke soup at a local restaurant. I learned that Jerusalem artichokes are also called sunchokes, which are sold at my local grocery.

So I made my version of the soup at home. Nice and sweet. Yum!
