Rooftops flew off, metal crushed easily like aluminum cans, tons of mud and flooding...even a wind power windmill fell over...pretty krazy news footage.
Luckily in Tokyo, we had some rain and winds but nothing really major...well, the heat and humidity were krazy!
Areas in Northern Japan hit 40C (104F) because of the typhoons...eep!
If I am not mistaken our typhoon season started in July and runs to November.
Can you believe we've had 6 in the past week?
Japan numbers their typhoons instead of giving them names and we are on 20 already!
Number 19 and 20 are heading for Hokkaido...together!
Because the humidity was unbearable, dinner last night was super simple, I just picked up some sliced maguro, topped it with some yamagata dashi and used the stove for 7 minutes to cook dadacha mame (which are similar to edamame).
With all these krazy natural disasters around the world, I'm pretty sure Mother Nature is upset with all of us...
Stay safe Hawaii, have a nice weekend everyone.
thanks for the update. I had tried to look for info on how Japan fared with their 2 typhoons but didn't see much.
ReplyDeleteGlad you didn't have much wind and rain even though the humidity was horrid.
I think we haven't seen the brunt yet on Oahu. In Manoa, it's a little gusty and I think it is getting stronger and not much rain (yet?)
trying to do laundry before the power goes out.

Mother Nature is pissed, but on the bright side, the wet spring and hot summer means that 2018 will be a great year for wine in Italy.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty quiet where I'm at. Looks like we totally dodged the bullet . . . so relieved. Your dish looks good!
ReplyDeleteMan, it's been a crazy year. Most of the friends and family back home feel like they've dodged a bullet. Glad you are well.
ReplyDeleteI tried making that Yamagata dashi and really liked it. but, do you cook the okra or just add it in raw?I kind of blanched it.

We hardly had any rain on the Kaneohe side, we got lucky!
ReplyDeleteooh exciting for wine Rowena!
ReplyDeleteglad you guys were okay Jalna!
indeed Kirk!
I think most okra in Hawaii might be on the mature side, V, so blanching it would be good. I usually don't cook anything, just chop everything raw and put into a container.
So lucky Mich :)
Take care everyone!

I hope you and your family in all the areas are safe!
ReplyDeleteThanks K! They are all okay :)
ReplyDeleteTake care.
