    Oishinbo - Vol. 12 Ch. 108 - Japanese Curry (Part 1)

    For my japanese style curry, I like to use chicken (pref thigh), turnip, carrot, and onion. Garlic minced up and tomato paste is nice for flavor too.

    Oishinbo - Vol. 12 Ch. 106 - Brown Rice VS White Rice (Part 2)

    Huh! Damn, thank you for looking into it- I was wondering to myself about that. But it makes sense- I grew up on a farm and my mom was always very particular about what we used. Cow dung might sound very natural, but it has some downsides. (In our case more a contamination risk of a different...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 12 Ch. 105 - Brown Rice VS White Rice (Part 1)

    I'm from a brown rice heavy childhood.... it can be tasty, to be sure, and if you cook it right it shouldnt be dry. But its also so tough to chew. What I get sometimes instead is Haiga rice- half milled rice. Supposedly it retains more of the benefit.

    Here I'd been under the impression Daifuku'd been invented around when the strawberry came to japan! also I have to admit, i don't always see eye to eye with the author of this manga, but this chapter I really, really do vibe with. The idea stores Have to expand and get bigger and more...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 12 Ch. 102 - The Taste of Summer Heat

    I really do respect the authors love of older methods of food preperation, and storing rice somewhere dark and cool in your house IS a good idea. ....but it can't possibly taste that different......

    It's always good to have a friend you know will be honest with you, even if it could cause friction. Otherwise you're always left guessing.

    Hirayasumi - Ch. 75 - Awakening

    Grannyyyyyyy. She did seem kind of fond of troublesome youths..... I wonder if she would have sympathized. If romance makes you 'an adult', whats that mean if you grow old on your own...? It can't be you aren't an adult. But society doesn't have a lot for you...

    Hirayasumi - Vol. 8 Ch. 74 - Hiroto and Natsumi's Roof Climb

    On one hand, if you're like 19, 20.... don't worry too much about 'being adult'. Doubly don't worry about needing to experience romance to be an adult. But maybe worry about the roof tiles if ya climb on a roof.

    Kiyo in Kyoto: From the Maiko House - Vol. 29 Ch. 311 - Bring It with Me

    It's hard, to give something up. Even harder to have to give it up because you're not capable anymore. Physical skills like sports, dancing, cooking, art... it can be easy to have something break down. But they're also fields you find so much devotion in. That's tough to give up on. I think...

    Ura Baito: Toubou Kinshi - Ch. 186 - Shrine Guide ③

    Whew. Call that a proper barnstormer. The sense of tone and mood in this.... truly terrifying. I really love the use of... almost photocopied photos of faces, kind of elements. I also enjoy that our gals seem to still 'be with him' as he walks, and we then learn you can only do this job once...
