Today's breakfast is #greekschwein #cheesehamburgsteak with a #garnish of tomato, green beans, and bell pepper. The garnish is today's main event.
Apparently, a garnish isn't just there to add shape and flavor for aesthetic effect — it's also a symbol that says, 'this dish was untouched by anyone else, prepared fresh just for you.' There are a few rules to garnishing too: consider the color balance, use odd numbers, and never place it in the center.
I heard that for the film #minari, the great #younyuhjung has been nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Academy Awards. Whether she wins or not, it's a good chance to reflect once more on the role and importance of supporting actors, extras, and crew — the garnish on the plate, so to speak.
All around us, seen and unseen, there are people quietly playing that same garnish role.

Today's breakfast is hummus with carrot, kohlrabi, and radish. I picked up the hummus (cheap) on a recent trip to Itaewon, and it tastes exactly like what it cost. The kohlrabi did all the heavy lifting today.
