    It’s so hot outside, I’m almost only making salads. Yesterday was:

    • 1 cucumber, diced
    • 150g cherry tomatoes, halved
    • 100g feta cheese, crumbled
    • 1 peach, diced
    • Balsamic vinegar

    Most of my days are a variation around that until things get fresher (peach can be replaced with a yellow or red pepper depending on what my veggie dealer has in stock).

      That sounds interesting - I’ve never been much of a cucumber person but my spouse just grew some in her garden and it was better than I remember! If I decide to try a dish with one this looks like an option I’d like.

    I made a Japanese curry with pork katsu. It was like 3 meals in one. I had to first make the 18-spice curry powder, which was mixed into a 30-min dark roux and cooled into little cubes before using them to flavour and thicken the gravy- I even added miso paste to the Katsu batter (which I thought was very clever indeed) and pan fried the cutlets (which were beat to hell) beautifully golden. Divine.

    And only after we devoured all that hard work, sitting back and surveying the damage to the kitchen, did we realize that neither of us took pictures for proof. Like it never happened at all. I have no more tears left.

      Dang it sounds great! I’ve gotten too excited and eaten before taking a picture waaaay too many times now so I know the feeling 😅
