I don't know.
When, and by how much, one should open one's heart.
Some people left exhausted because I didn't open up enough.
Some people left startled because I opened up too soon.
Some people never got to know me because I opened up too little.
And sometimes I wore myself out by opening up too much.
I still don't really know.
Whether it's love, or work, or just how well-cooked today's onion turned out, I sometimes think this line from Between Calm and Passion might be some kind of magic formula applicable to almost every situation in the world. It came to mind while eating a slightly undercooked onion. "I still don't really know when, and by how much, I should cook it."
Score an onion, coat it in frying batter, and deep-fry it, and it transforms into something like a blooming flower. This is called a blooming onion. Since it's breakfast, I didn't go all out and just air-fried a simpler version.
Ingredients
Check items off while grocery shopping - it’s remembered here.

Plate and drizzle with the mentaiko mayo. Finish with pepper and scallion.
