Some good shopping today.

 

Although we get huge daikon radishes year round, red ones are rare. Maybe once a year. Sometimes bite sized; sometimes this size, as found today.

Also, for the first time ever, I found raspberries in China! I've been waiting 20+ years.

AND,  I found the first spinach of the season.

 

So, dinner was dry-fried beef with radish and green onion. Beef marinated in soy sauce, osmanthus wine, garlic, chilli flakes (a lot) and cumin. Simple wilted spinach with salt. Rice.

Then I made cranachan*, that wonderful Scottish dessert of whipped cream, toasted oats, whisky and honey. It looked pretty and tasted wonderful, but every picture I took looked a total mess. So no pic.

*I would link to the relevant Wikipedia article but it is garbage.
