For last night, it was a Korean soup made from the decanted and
defatted remains of a pork shoulder's liquid. Added cabbage kimchee
and sweet hot radish kimchee then pressed fried tofu cubes, king oyster
mushrooms, leek tops and thin sliced leek bulb, and shaved gobo
(burdock root).

Tonight it's more standard American faire with a baked chicken. I will
however have a gobo side as it matches well and I have too much gobo
root here.
