Good day from a surprisingly frosty Kamakura, Japan on this Saturday December 13th! ❄️ Overnight temps dropped to 2°C (32°F), the coldest it’s been here yet. Felt a decent earthquake last night (don’t worry, we’re fine!), roasted homegrown peanuts with honey, baked fluffy blueberry muffins, and slow-cooked an incredible lamb pilaf in my Moroccan tagine — all served on beautiful dishes gifted by a sweet neighbor.

Out in the garden, the broccoli is loving life, I harvested the last of the fiery jalapeños, and planted wild strawberries from another kind neighbor. Come along for a cozy, tasty look back at this past week in Kamakura! 🌱🍯🍓
