Japanese Chicken Katsu Curry

When I told my youngest daughter I am going to revive my cooking blog, she was very excited. She volunteered to be the photographer lol. Little did I realize that it has been 10 years since my last entry. Time just flew by without me knowing. Life has indeed kept me really active. As one friend told me, "seasons of life, it will go by before you notice." Indeed, it is.

Alright, back to my purpose of posting this entry. I wanted to share this great simple and economic recipe. This is one great dish for busy mommies would love, especially working mothers.
