After a very wet weekend Monday came as a bit of a surprise. Cool, refreshing weather with cloudy skies and a nice breeze now and then. It felt exactly like the middle of October. I’m too much of a veteran of Japanese summers to get excited – I know this is a very temporary situation and we still have a couple weeks of hot and humid weather ahead of us. But it was nice to lounge about the house with the windows open and the air conditioners turned off. And it was nice to wake up this morning without a layer of sweat on my forehead. Fall is on its way.
I took advantage of the nicer weather to go outside and fire up the grill to cook some kangaroo meat on skewers. The other day I ordered some meat online as an experiment, and I couldn’t resist buying some kangaroo as I’ve never tried it before. After cooking the skewers last night, I can tell that I’ll be trying it again. I had steeled myself for some gamey, intensely flavored meat, but it turned out to be quite good – tender and delicious. The skewers came marinated and peppered, so it was a little bit like beef jerky without the toughness. Now I’m wondering what a kangaroo burger would taste like…
