I am going to have to try these, they look so interesting! And I have the same problem with the light (or lack there of). I even resort sometimes to figuring out how to take pictures on my lunch break outside my office!
LOL! The office is even worse cause it’s fluorescent light. 🤢 I wouldn’t judge you haha
True. I sneak out to a “wooded” area by the parking lot!
I tried lotus root for the first time EVER this weekend. I sautéed eat. It is AMAZING! I can’t get over the incredible texture and taste. I couldn’t stop eating it. I’ll try it baked next time…
Sautéed sounds sooo good too! Maybe I’ll just make one of those posts “8 ways to eat…” and overdose on lotusroots 🤤
