Another weekly slaw, this time with a Taiwan cabbage . . .


Taiwan Cabbage, Carrot & Matsubara Blue #2 KS Nashiji Gyuto, 240mm

I really should have grabbed a 'before' shot of the cabbage. I'd never worked with one before. It was round (not spherical) and somewhat flat; shaped very much like a boule but with less of a dome. It was also somewhat fluffy and leafy in texture. Not very dense at all, similar to napa. Even though it was quite large, it felt lighter than it actually was. Still, after trimming, coring and slicing it up, the yield came in at just under 1400g. So, a pretty big batch of slaw this time around.

Shot this one with my samsung galaxy s10. Natural, late-afternoon light under my west-facing kitchen window.

Not sure these are "food" but I did think it made for a nice picture. Was prepping for an upcoming smoke and spotted these on my splitting stump, which is sugar maple . . .

A Closer Look
They kind of resemble turkey tails but either way, they're very cool looking.

Trametes versicolor, which is commonly referred to as turkey tail.

Very cool. That's what I suspected but I wasn't sure. They're beautiful. I don't even want to touch them.

Thanks!
