Made my rainy day curry today

It's a Japanese sweet and savoury curry with honey, soy sauce, grated apple and ginger. I make and toast the spice blend myself. Prepared some lapsang tea which smells like bonfires, my favourite smell. It's tea leaves smoked over pinewood.

Modern living can be akin to sensory assault, we have to make space for peace or we are consumed by it. Have a peaceful day x

Mind sharing the recipe? Also, I love the concept and smell of that tea, but don't often want to actually drink it.
