Thanks for the podcast recommendation! I really enjoyed The Missing Cryptoqueen, so I’m looking forward to checking out Stalked. Btw, have you listened to Sweet Bobby (https://www.tortoisemedia.com/listen/sweet-bobby)? Other podcasts by Tortoise Media are great too :)

Thanks for adding another podcast to the endless queue :) Sounds interesting and falls into the "true crime but not too bloody" sub-category that I prefer.

I know how to make one kind of Japanese curry. It's easy and delicious! You buy the little Japanese curry cubes and add them to vegis with water. Carrots, onions, potato, apple, and chicken if you want it. Then serve it over rice. The story of how I learn this is more interesting. I learned it via traditional Japanese Panel Theatre for small children. I remember the vegis singing as they danced across the felt screen and into the pot. Very effective teaching method for small children and their parents (me). I've never forgotten the vegis as they were moved in a dancing way across the felt covered board, while we all were singing their names out loud as they jumped happily into the pot. Only sharing because you asked readers to share something. I enjoyed your digest.

"I've never forgotten the vegis as they were moved in a dancing way across the felt covered board, while we all were singing their names out loud as they jumped happily into the pot." --> I so want to see that commercial now! Also, apple in Japanese curry - boss move, that's the ingredient I definitely forgot to put last time I was making it.

It wasn’t a commercial. Some Japanese women in my small town whose husbands worked at a local Honda plant used to present Panel Theater to local children as a cultural share. The leader used it in early childhood education when she was in Japan. They presented the curry rice one and served it to us afterwards. I’ve been making it ever since.

Ah, ok! Sorry, wasn't familiar with the idea of Panel Theater. That makes it even more endearing.

Oh yes, the «Korean carrots». I need to make some tomorrow.

(Don't tell anyone I'm a heretic and replace coriander with basil.)

My policy is "cook and let cook" :)
