Garlickety Roast! 🧄

Yum!!

Ready the garlic! Keep skin on, but of course peel off some if it's dirty.

Slice the top portion of the garlic head.

Place garlic heads on aluminum wrap.

Slather each head with oil, salt, pepper.

Seal the wrap.

Toast / bake for 30mins at 200°C.

Or, Airfry for 25 mins at 190°C (check for doneness).

Remove from the oven and unseal the wrap (careful, its hot!).

Let cool, until able to handle the garlic, or opt to use kitchen gloves.

Squeeze out gently the garlic from the skin. When toasted well, it should fall out easily.

Catch onto a mixing bowl. Squish and mash with a fork, and mix with melted butter, and other preferred herbs.

And that's it, this garlic butter mix is ready for some serious yummy slatherin'.

Japanese potato salad, onegaishimasu!!!

Refreshing Crunch in every bite Nice touch of creamy from the potatoes and dressing Wonderful colors BEST of ALL: HEALTHY 🥗 Ingredients 3 potatoes, boiled & roughly mashed 1/2 cup of picnic ham, or 1/2 can of Spam, diced and fried. 1 cucumber, sliced 1 carrot, julienne 1/2 cup sweet corn, 1/2 cup picnic ham, diced &fried Japanese mayonnaise (*or any mayo) vinegar 1 boiled egg (optional) Salt and pepper to taste. 🥗 Steps Once the potatoes and ham are done, boiled-mashed, fried, respectively. mix altogether in a big bowl. Serve warm immediately, or it can also be served after being chilled for an hour (if in a rush 30 mins in the chiller will do.) The kids preferred without onions, so I always exclude it. Pair with some nicely fried food, like Japanese sausages, or chicken nuggets; world peace over dinner is hugely important. 💡 Inspired by: Ochikeron & Just One Cookbook

Always, all i end up buying at the grocery is the same packed frozen suchi fish.. and i h...
