Saturday lunch: potato cakes

I needed some energy before going to play tennis in the cold so I made these potatoes cakes served with leek and shiitake. The leek and the shiitake are thinly sliced and cooked slowly in a bit of olive oil. For the potato cakes, I gratted roughly 2 potatoes, mixed well with 2 battered eggs, added salt and pepper, and cooked both sides in a circle in a frypan greased with olive oil.

DIY lamp in a basket

The other day at Yasukuni Shrine flea market I bought 2 bamboo baskets for 500Y. Usually such baskets are use for flower composition, but I liked so much the bamboo pattern of one of them that I wanted to make a lamp out of one to enjoy the projection of the pattern on the walls.

With such basket it was really easy to mount as a lamp, and here is the result!
