2022 Summer Food Photo Journal - Anything from Tempura, Fried Fish, Flan, Waffled Potatoes, DANGO, TAJIN, ARANCINI, etc

 It was a fun summer.  It was exceptionally hotter than any other year.  My garden plants were stressed from the heat.  Scorched and sun burned.  

But, food is good as always in  the kitchen.  Testing this and that and still making the best of the COVID-19 aftermath is what I really wanted to say, but the COVID-19 didn't go away.  We managed to control it with the vaccine and booster shots and thanks to our staff in medical field fighting them daily.  We get to move onto the next steps to live kind of side-by-side with it.  My favorite of the time is cooking at home.  Craving for good fried fish and chips or coming up with creative cooking, testing old recipes.  So, here is my photo journal of summer 2022.

Waffled Potatoes for breakfast.



I hate this blogger app not doing what it used to do.  Uploading pictures in reversed order.  Anyways, you get it.

Fresh Green Onions are plenty all year around my garden.  Green Onion pancakes are so delicious.
