When I wasn't well...

I wasn't well last week. I didn't have any energy to go shopping or spent much time cooking. My fridge was almost empty. I thought that I really would like a local organic fruit and vegetable grocery store near my flat rather than a shoe shop that I really desired two weeks ago!

I went to central London to work. Although I was quite tired after work and I knew it was busy around 5pm rush hour, I took a chance and popped to the food hall in Selfridges to buy some fresh vegetables. I craved onion so I grabbed some large onions and returned home.

I used to eat raw onion salad as a side dish in Japan. It goes well with almost everything. Particularly in spring, onions are less sharp and contain more water. These onions are perfect when raw.

Nowadays, we are lucky as the customer is not affected by seasonal harvest; you can buy all type of vegetables through out the year. Despite having a wider and more interesting selection, I think seasonal food has more flavor. We didn't have much sunshine this year, the tomatoes growing in my kitchen have finally ripened. I made a salad with the white onions from Selfridges and tomatoes from my kitchen.

I saw this on the shelf and thought i would give it a go. I will see if I love it or hate it!
