Working through some fading inventory, I decided make some batter-style potato pancakes, very heavy on the green knob onions . . .


Plated Up
Not exactly green eggs and ham but in the ballpark. I normally prefer shredded style but I was very happy with the way these onion-forward, batter-style pancakes turned out. Pureed 3 russets and a half-dozen substantial knob onions in the food processor, then, in a mixing bowl, added 2 eggs, 1% salt, black pepper, a splash of evoo and a half-cup of matzo meal. From there, shallow fried the mixture in some peanut oil.

I don’t see any sour cream or apple sauce.

Despite the fact that the zork house is in the middle of our very intense birthday season (3 birthdays in 7 days - yes really!) I wanted to bake something for zorkdad on Sunday - luckily for me one of his very favorite things is blueberry muffins:

Wanted to make a big breakfast in advance of a wedding later today, where I expect the food will be sparse and underwhelming . . .


Shiitake, Asparagus & Feta Omelet
Leftover/reheated hashbrowns and a slightly overtoasted (but not burnt) egg bagel.

Was great to get rid of the hashbrowns and the leftover veg. As for the wedding, I'm considering smuggling in a few slim jims just in case.

In the ugly, but tasty category, this weekend we had Upside Down Rhubarb Spice Cake:



I might be the only person who can kill a Rhubarb plant, but even I can't kill two! Or at least I have one that has survived long enough to yield 1 pound of Rhubarb. This cake was good, but the appearance bordered on un-appetizing - I doubt I'll be making this again.

Another stab at potato pancakes, this time with yukon golds and some orphaned red onion from deep in the recesses of my produce drawer . . .


Potato Pancakes, Eggs & Tomato Salad
These tomatoes are from 3SG but our home garden is actually beginning to come on strong!

Looks delicious.

Are those duck eggs? Reason I ask is yolks seem to be sitting a little taller with firmer structure.

Thanks -- just some chicken eggs (Vital Farms). They do tend to be very nice eggs. I cooked them in homemade rendered bacon fat in an open pan for a bit, then covered them for the last minute or so.

Some scones from the King Arthur website:
https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipe ... nes-recipe



The scones I have tried fall into two different camps. One camp has a bread-like texture and are a bit chewy, the other is more like a biscuit and are very tender and rich. These were from the bready camp. Not too sweet and maybe just a tad dry. I divided the mix-ins and made 1/2 blueberry and 1/2 chocolate chip. The blueberries were from Mariano's and just did not have much blueberry flavor. That is the 2nd time I've had basically tasteless blueberries from Mariano's this year.
