Look! Up in the sky...

Sarah and I are still here, alive and well. I like updating this blog, but we don't really do much.
We went on a walk today in Old Folsom and realized that walking weather is officially over! We were sweating...a lot. In order to cool off, we got two vanilla soft-serve cones from McDonald's, which is the only thing I will eat there. We don't even care that, according to John, it has dirt in it.
Tonight we are eating TONKATSU!

Tonkatsu Recipe:
(Serves 2 hungry people, or 4 regular people) This is not a low-fat recipe!

4 small pork cutlets (or chicken cutlets), pounded to 1/4 in. thickness
1/2 cup flour
1 egg, beaten with 1 tbs. water
1 cup panko crumbs (Japanese bread crumbs)
(flour & panko crumb amounts are approximate--you just need enough to coat all 4 pieces)
Tonkatsu Sauce (found in Asian food section of store--I don't make my own)

1. Begin heating 1 in. of oil in large skillet to med. heat (about 350 degrees). I usually serve this with white rice, so I would begin the rice now too.
2. Dredge the cutlets first in the flour, then the egg mixture, and finally in the panko crumbs. Allow them to sit for a few minutes while the oil heats.
3. Fry 2 cutlets at a time in the pan, about 3 minutes on each side; they will be golden brown and crispy. Allow oil to come back up to temperature before finishing with other 2 cutlets; drain each set of 2 cutlets on paper towels.
4. Serve with rice and Tonkatsu sauce. Hope you like it as much as we do!
