Daikon Love: Such a versatile vegetable! Enjoy raw or cooked, pickled, or in soup, or in salad, stir-fry, baked, broiled…love to hear how you use it! I like the beautiful white color and cool balance of the grated daikon in contrast to a nice crusted piece of fish. It is rich in vitamin C, low in calories, and contains enzymes that aid in digestion.
Happy Mother’s Day
We had an unexpected Mother’s Day celebration. My sweet mom, Joyce, spent the last two days here. You might remember Joyce from her 75th birthday posted last October? She lives in Santa Barbara, California and was evacuated from her home due to the wild fires. She received a phone call at 3 AM Friday from the Fire Department alerting her to be ready to evacuate. Later that morning, she was on her way here to Los Angeles.
We had such a nice time chit-chatting (as she calls it), doing a little sight-seeing at the Port of Los Angeles, watching a movie, and making a big pot of Matzoh Ball Soup together. For me, fixing the soup together was the highlight of the weekend. She just now left to drive back home, about two hours north of here, as the evacuation orders have been lifted and the fires are no longer threatening homes in her area. Thank goodness. Our hearts and prayers go out to all who have been affected by these fires.
Happy Mother’s Day.

This was such a lovely post Lori Lynn. I am so glad your Mom was able to return home, I see we are neighbors! It sounds like a blessing in disguise for the two of you, getting to spend a little time together.

Happy Mother’s Day to Mom’s everywhere!

I’m glad your mom and her home are safe.
I love daikon especially in soups. I’m craving for some right about now.
A disaster for your mom, but a special mother’s day gift for you. I’m glad to know that she and her home are safe.
Oh, you’re famous Matzoh Ball Soup – now that’s comfort food.
…and there’s those delicious short ribs, again, in the Pho Broth! Yum!
Glad to know that your mom can go back to her home. It is a sad thing when a natural disaster like this wild fire happen. My hearts and prayers also for all of those who have been affected by these fires.
Sounds like you had a wonderful mother’s day as well.
In Asia, we cook lot’s of this daikon. We also had soup made out of this, with some fried sprinkle edamame as garnish. It’s so delicious. Thanks for posting this, it makes me remember the daikon soup that I used to have when was growing up.
Cheers,
