I have the impression that this summer it’s been raining 9 days out of 10… Many typhoons already hit Tokyo and still continue. I miss being able to go outside to garden and to play tennis. Hopefully we are leaving for Germany tomorrow night and the weather should be much nicer. Since autumn vegetables are starting to fill the shelves of the farmers market I decided to start with sweet potatoes. I made some mashed sweet potatoes for the first time and really liked it. It’s really a nice combination with fish or pork. This time I served them with oven grilled cod, simply boiled beat and raw okra.
