Replenished my stock of fleece sweatpants, my go-to couture in this time of Covid.

Anime Festival: Night 2
Tonight, night two of our spontaneous anime festival. Grateful for streaming.
Kale and White Sweet Potatoes
Kale and white sweet potatoes, one of our favorites.
Chilly Walk to Coastal Seafoods
Included Coastal Seafoods on my chilly walk, probably the best seafood store in the Twin Cities. Seniors get 20% off on Tuesdays, hence the line.
Ice Cream Offsets
Purchased ice cream offsets at the farmers market.
Balancing Act
The relative sweetness of the shinshu miso was nicely offset by the bitterness of the Asian broccoli.
Miso Ingredients
Next on my list: learn how to make dashi broth and miso soup. For me, Covid-19 restrictions present opportunities to learn new things. If I can’t go to Japan, I can bring Japan to me.
Kare Raisu
Made kare raisu, Japanese curry, for lunch, one of the most popular dishes in Japan. It can be traced to early British influences over 100 years ago. Now, a Japanese curry chain is opening restaurants in India.
G4 LEDs
This week is the end of the line for incandescent bulbs in our home. Until recently the light quality of G4 LEDs was not good enough. Now, $2.00 1.5 watt G4’s have a high color rendering index. We’ll have 100% LED lighting once I replace two halogens lurk
Home-Made Ramen
I couldn’t go to Japan this month, so brought Japan to us: tonkotsu ramen. I cooked the Hakata-style cloudy/emulsified broth for 26 hours, saving most for another day. To my gaijin taste buds it was pretty good, I was transported.
