Where did you find fennel pollen?
They have the fresh stuff at Hollywood Farmers Market but you have to use it within a week or dry it out. I got this dried one at the spice place inside OC Mix.
You’re loving them wedge salads!
Here’s a Greek salad we made last night. Turned out better than other Greek salads we’ve made. Followed this recipe: Lemony Herb-Loaded Chopped Greek Salad Recipe - Pinch of Yum
Also had some cheesez that we got from the small bin at Whole Foods that has little chunks for a couple bucks each. Good way to try some different cheese.

Saved! Except for the cucumber which we both dislike. Marriages are made on less

[/quote]Hmmm… I’ll have to look for that.
Yeah, it was the first time I saw it too. It was basically in the middle of the cheese counter (at the Playa Vista location).
I love those baskets of little chunks.
What? You know about the little chunks too? What the heck have I been missing?
Pay attention

I went to Seiwa Market in Torrance on Sunday and came across pickled/dyed gobo (burdock). You’re right; they do look carrot-ish.
What do you do with them?
They’re traditionally eaten as a side dish or with rice. They’re super crunchy.
Cooked I asume?

Oh yes, they’re tough, old things. They have to be parboiled.
I usually stir-fry them with carrots; it’s a dish called kinpira gobo. Kinpira Gobo Recipe (Japanese Stir-Fry Burdock Root Recipe) - YouTube

They’re also good in soups and stews.

I forgot to mention that they need to be peeled too. They sort of look like long, dry, hairy legs in their natural state.
Here’s an image I found on Google.

By the way, my mom minces the burdock root peel, then puts them on a cheesecloth with a brick on top, to let the liquid naturally drain out.
She swears that this is like nectar that’s been kissed by the gods.

She cooks the peel? I’ll have to try her method. Sounds like a good source of fiber. Thanks for the tip, @ipsedixit!
Oh, no. Sorry, if not clear.
She does not cook the peel. She only drains the liquid out of them and then drinks it like a shot of vodka.
