Ohina-sama - Curry Recipe

On March 3rd, the Ohina-sama were taken out from the box and displayed.

Last year the Ohina-sama were taken out after boxed for 25 years. The Ohina-sama seemed to be crying at the time, but they were taken out again for the presentation to the children on the Children’s Day, May 5th, at one of the Chicago elementary schools.



On that day Keiko asked me for my curry recipe. Curry recipe was posted on my Japanese blog http://ishimaru92.blog105.fc2.com last year. Here is translation of the recipe.
It is good to first make a pot roast first and use the leftovers of the roast for the curry. (It is very good for busy people when you can prepare for two different dinners with one dish.)
1. Pot Roast
Buy inexpensive pot roast double amount enough for curry (4 or 5 lb. for 4 people)
Take out fat from the pot roast (expensive roast has no fat)
Brown the pot roast
Cook pot roast with small heat (slow cooker or 250° oven can be used) about 5-6 hours
Seasoning for meat:
1 cup wine
1 tsp black pepper, garlic (or 4 cloves)
½ tsp each chicken and beef stock powder, red pepper
1 pinch rosemary
1 can diced tomato
Cook the following chopped bite-size vegetable in the cooked pot roast last half hour or until vegetables are soft
2 carrots
4 stalk celery
1 pepper
1 zucchini
1 onion
2. Curry
Use left over pot roast meat
Cook the following chopped bite-size vegetable first with seasoning and water
1 carrot
2 stalk celery
1 potato
Seasoning:
1 cup wine
1 tsp black pepper, garlic (or 4 cloves)
½ tsp each chicken and beef stock powder, red pepper
3 Tbsp curry powder
Put the pot roast meat in the above softened vegetable
(chicken can be used for additional meat)
Make sure there is enough juice. If not add 1 or 2 cup water
Dissolve 2 Tbsp corn starch into 1 cup water
Mix the cornstarch water into the curry
3. Is there left over curry? If so, make Curry Soba (buck wheat noodle)
Pour diluted curry over cooked soba

Are we going to eat and drink in the Heaven?
Please read the following Bible verses. Yes, I believe we'll be feasting at banquets with Jesus. Rev. Oyama used to say that in heaven everything will be a hundred times better than on earth. Well, then, that means foods will be hundred times more delicious than what we are eating now.
Luke 13:29, 30 People will come from east and west and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God. Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last.
Isaiah 25:6 On this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine --- the best of meats and the finest of wines.
Matthew 22:2-3 The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.
