January 7: National Tempura Day

 

 
Things I learned on Tempura Day:

  1. Tempura is only good the minute after it comes out of the fryer. It is not good when you order it to go on your lunch break and you carry it back to your office in a styrofoam container.
  2. Tempura green beans are delicious, even if they are soggy.
  3. Tempura squash is freaking gross, especially when soggy.
