For Reasons, the fridge is increasingly empty (this is on purpose, and I’m really happy with _how_ empty we have gotten it). R. made pulled pork, but only about half the amount he would normally make, and that will freeze well if it is not consumed within the time frame.

There’s some kale left, but I had that at lunch. There are some mushrooms, left. There are a very few carrots left, 2 apples and some mandarins and lemons. Also, there is a can of sweet peas (not in the fridge, obviously). That’s kinda it for the vegetable choices. Oh, wait, no, I lied. There are also a _lot_ of radishes. Many, many, many radishes.

So I made rice, heated up peas to stir into the rice, and heated up some pulled pork to go on top of that. But to see if I could get something useful out of the many radishes, I air fryered some, and I quick-pickled some with a lot of sliced ginger (there is a lot of ginger on the counter), and then added little heaps of each to my bowl. I know what dish this now resembles, and also, no way in hell can you say that what I did is an instance of that dish.

In any event, I also got out the sriracha sauce, and A. had the ketchup out for her fries. I figured, you know, if this thing isn’t working, there are condiments. But in the event, the spices on the pulled pork, and the salt and sugar in the quick-pickled radish, were more than enough. I might actually do this again. Which is unexpected.
