I used to play Dungeons & Dragons when I was a kid, and have been interested in it (the Fantasy genre) ever since. So I thought it would be fun to answer the questions in the online alignment chooser tool to see where I fell on the spectrum. You have to roleplay a bit in answering the questions, but it was kind of fun and the resulting alignment was actually the one I thought I was. Neutral Good. It’s what most of my characters were in the game too!
Why don’t you give the alignment tool a try too?

I love donburi, which is basically a Japanese rice bowl (food served on top of rice in a bowl), and one of my favorite takes on this is mapo tofu. I’m not sure if it’s a “real donburi”, since mapo tofu is Chinese, but I like to have mapo tofu donburi style. It’s great comfort food!
Besides the main ingredient of tofu, Mapo commonly includes ground pork or other ground meat in the spicy sauce. We like to top it with fresh green onion. And of course, I like it spicy so we add red pepper to the mix. 🌶
It’s delicious if you make it from a prepared packet of mapo tofu sauce, but Mariko makes it from scratch (no preservatives). Here’s the recipe (in Japanese) if you want to give it a try!
I hope you had a good day!

こんばんは。How’s it going?
As the temperature outside hovers around the freezing mark, it’s nice to stay warm inside and enjoy a plate of yummy Indian chicken tikka masala curry. A family-favorite, for sure! I cooked three cups of basmati rice in the rice cooker, and we added about a teaspoon of turmeric which gave it an amazing color.

By the way, we have been using our Staub pot to cook a lot of dishes lately, including this curry. It’s really great. It’s cast-iron and distributes the heat nicely. I think we prefer it over our Le Creuset pots.
By the way, the recipe (Japanese) for the chicken is here: Chicken Tikka Masala
I hope you had a nice day!
