Microwave-Roasted Onion with Lemon Mayo Crab Sticks

20240211 #breakfastdiary 971, 0°C/mostly clear A melty, mellow sweetness that's different from onions caramelized in a pan — short version: #roastedonion long version: #microwaveroastedonionwithcrabstickinlemonmayo Halve an onion lengthwise, skin still on, top with a knob of butter, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave for 4 minutes. (Every microwave's wattage is different, so pull it out once it looks done enough. An air fryer works too, of course.) While the onion cooks, tear 5 crab sticks into thin shreds (I snacked on 2 while making this, so really 3). Mix with 2 mayonnaise, 1 lemon juice, and 1/4 wholegrain mustard. Plate the onion, top with the crab sticks tossed in lemon mayo dressing, and finish with pepper and parsley. (Chopped chives would be nice too.) — If I stretch my foot out like this, I might just reach you, since you're always there I stretch it out once and tell myself never again since it would startle you but if I never stretch my foot out at all, how disappointed you'd be So several times a day I start to stretch my foot out, and stop myself (Lee Seong-bok, "Foot")
