Ankake udon:

Oden soup packet
Soy sauce
Garlic
Ginger
Radishes
Naganegi (Japanese leek)

An easy riff off regular udon; this one has thickened broth. It's not typical to put lemon in, but I like it.

Saving this because these are words i want to but will likely never to say to my cult follower family members. Bottling them up here instead
Watching a third of the country beclown and degrade themselves in cultish devotion to this stumbling turnip makes me want to puke.

Keeping this because I need to figure out how not to stay silent and to not be harmonious just to keep people comfortable
People who might be comfortable with their neighbors quietly disappearing aren't always comfortable when the grotesque human rights abuses involved are made public. They don't like to imagine themselves as the bad people you make them seem like when you point out what's happening. So keep doing it.

Salty pancakes are a great way to use old sad cabbage and freezer meat mixes (Taco meat, bibimbap, whatever).

What the hell I got in my kitchen?

Passatelli:

Almost stale hamburger buns
Parmesan cheese
Lemons
Nutmeg
Eggs
Chicken broth

I only have a potato ricer and not a genuine passatelli iron, so the texture may have been a little off, more fragile. Still tasty, and succeeded at minimizing waste.
