Our neighbor grew peppermint in some pots but the plants are happily growing to everywhere so they grew from his side to our side.

Today I brought my scissors and cut off a bunch of them and made peppermint tea marrocean style.

So first brew a bit of green tea which we got from some work colleagues of my partner from China. Then throw away the first tea brewed because it has some flavors we don't like. After that put it as much peppermint as fitts in and put a rediciolous amount of sugar on top. Put boiling water on it and brew for some time.

Both hot and cold it's like drinking peppermint candy, delicious!

This was very much a "to taste" recipe since I didn't really measure anything out exactly, but it included:

• 1/2 a seedless watermelon, diced
• 1 block feta
• 1 shallot, diced
• 1 lime, juiced
• basil to taste
• mint to taste
• olive oil to taste
• balsamic vinegar to taste
• sea salt and pepper (to taste)

With how unspecific it was it came out fantastic. I'm actually kicking my past self for not trying it sooner it's so good. Will probably pull this out again for the 4th

My wife surprised me with this, she's amazing!

• 1 to 1 part water and Korean pancake mix
• one hand full of kimchi, cut in small pieces
• generous amount of frying oil

Last Friday was midsummer, but because I'm not in Sweden but in Korea I had to improvise with ingredients which I could find here.

• Toast Skagen
• Fried salmon
• Gravad lax
• Crisp bread with cheese
• This years small potatoes
• Absolut vodka
• Danish Heineken
• Danish Somersby apple cider
• Strawberries with whipped cream

For supper I made colcannon for the first time, spicy Korean eggplant and BBQ pork cutlets. Whew it was great and I am stuffed.

I made quesabirria de res and proveletta cheese with consomme. My little innovation is that I gave it a pat of cilantro garlic compound butter with flake salt on top. I'm gonna die happy. These are the best tacos I've ever made. They taste better than being thin, god help me.

Brined overnight. Sous Vide bath seasoned with roasted garlic, homegrown basil, oregano, & Rosemary for 2 hours at 130° before searing in cast iron.
