Typhoon Kote

Typhoon Kote is passing through.  Rain is heavy, winds are sometimes strong.  School and non-mission-essential personnel had early dismissal.  We are just holing up in the house.  Ralph is in for a big surprise this weekend.

 Great rain sleeping.

Typhoon vegan lunch special: mustard greens, masala baked tofu, broccoli with sauteed mushroom-scallion mixture, seasoned pinto beans, and soba noodles in the middle (with wasabi, soy sauce, and sesame seeds.)  Asahi beer.  I have lots of eggplant ("nasu" in Japanese) from the farmer's market, so later I'll make eggplant chickpea curry from one of my favorite vegan cookbooks.  Read more on my new blog: Ralph's Vegan Kitchen.
