Dinner tonight was some tonkatsu (Japanese breaded pork cutlets) with Bunashimeji, aka brown beech mushrooms, stir fried in a little sesame oil, and a little green salad. A nice balanced meal :-)

I used this recipe as a starting point for this very good apple bread. I did half granulated white sugar and half light brown sugar, used pecans instead of walnuts, and ended up needing a bit more oil and some water to bring the batter together. It turned ...
