Wednesday: totally a normal summer day

In the morning we went for a walk with Cheryl.  We saw a bunch of turtles and frogs in the pond.  It was funny because, as always, at first glance the pond looks empty.  They as you look longer and longer you see more and more creatures.

Joshua did his laundry for the first time.

We had an Easter egg hunt.  I was feeling overwhelmed on Easter and so pushed this fun thing back...several times.  We still need to make empty tomb rolls, but we have all summer for that.  I loved doing it today.  I expanded the hunt into the basement and because we weren't on any type of time crunch hid the eggs harder than normal.  I think Isaac still has a large handful to find, although I'm not sure where they are.

I attempted to make pork katsu for dinner.  Here's the example picture:

Let's go through it: 

Curry: I have no idea how this recipe was supposed to work.  There was a tiny amount of curry to a huge amount of chicken broth.  The end result was a runny gravy.  Still edible, but not at all what I wanted.

Pork: I overcooked the pork, but it was otherwise good.

Sticky Rice: This turned out the best, no thanks to the directions on the box.  The directions told me how much water to add, but not how much rice to add.

Number of dishes used: way too many

End result:

While I'm sure that if I made it again it would turn out better, Ben said the new sushi place in town had pork katsu. I think getting it from there might be a better option.
