The sky




Moon

At the Science Museum, the guide explained us the astronomical body of the evening. I looked up at the sky about 30 min before the sunset, checked where the moon was as we learned at the planetarium today. Several different shapes of clouds in the sky, some were summer clouds, some were autumn ones. Somehow the air cooled down a little, compared to the day time that reached 30C. The hot and humid Tokyo summer is really starting soon.

Making curry rice from scratch

 Twins got a couple of potatoes the kindergarten harvested, and told me they want to cook those potatoes for curry rice. So, I just had spices, and decided to make it from scratch. Sote the flour for good 20 min while cooking the veggies in a pot, mixed spices, add some beef broth. Add the flour roux, and it turned out a bit spicy curry sauce. Naoya wasn't into it, but Masaki loved it he had a second serving. Mama win!!
