Basil, arugula, beets, radishes, ships (herb), and flowers! 8-1 at #brooksidefarmersmarketkc

The shiso in the garden is so lovely right now. It's blooms draw honeybees and other pollinator friends. They're letting me share with you at #brooksidefarmersmarketkc tomorrow, 8-1. The fragrance is intensely beautiful. The taste is equally intense. I used this recipe (sort of) for the Japanese equivalent of a sandwich in its convenience and satisfaction on the go: https://www.chopstickchronicles.com/yaki-onigiri-grilled-r/. The shiso leaf makes a nice surface to pick up the onigiri. If you're feeling adventurous and have some pork belly (or need some, check out http://www.urbavorefarm.com) try this recipe. I plan to make it this weekend. Let's compare notes. https://ladyandpups.com/2013//04/pork-belly-shiso-yaki-eng/
