On Wednesday around noon, the temperature was balmy 72...really cool feeling. Until I came home and my driveway and parking lot were about 79. But later the coolness crept into my woods too. Rain is coming. Big rain if I listen to the forecasts.
Since I didn't win the lottery, I was happy to meet my friend for lunch. She had just had some dental work done, at the usual exorbitant price, but felt really good. So we indulged in Japanese fare.
My friend had the Bento Box with Vegetable Tempura. She found the same thing I noticed on my second ordering of this dish...the Tempura batter was a bit thick and not totally cooked on some of the veggies.
My lovely basil is just going crazy these days!

...this wouldn't be for me, how about BBQ?
ReplyDeleteAlright...I'll think about it!
DeleteI am not a fan of sushi. Your basil is looking great. Take care, have a great day and happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteWe neither one had the sushi itself...but are happy to have plant based dishes with Japanese style cooking. I'm not a fan of raw fish myself either. Though I do like the sauces that come with it.
DeleteI've noticed that batter problem from time to time.

That teriyaki tofu looks so yummy. I may have to look up a recipe and try that sometime. That basil plant is looking good. Reminds me that we forgot to plant basil this year!
ReplyDeleteWhoops, I forgot to login... this anonymous comment is from Robin!
DeleteGlad to hear from you Robin. Basil tips are still good, but the bigger leaves are getting kind of dry. The tofu had been rolled in sesame seeds then fried, then added to the teriyaki. Very good.
DeleteNice basil plant, we couldn't find one this year. My avocado finally showed a root, it took months waiting for it.
ReplyDeleteGood for your avocado! Both of my attempts this year were failures. Maybe next time. By the time the second one finally looked possible, it also succumbed to the moldy stuff that got the first one. White fly they called it.
DeleteI like that night shot.
ReplyDeleteThanks...a bit of a switch from the others, eh?
DeleteRain in these parts today.
