The Friday Five for January 27, 2023
Jan. 27th, 2023 01:56 pm1. Mysteries. Do you sleuth alongside Nancy Drew or Miss Marple? Fan of Nero Wolfe?
I read all the Nancy Drew mysteries in 5th grade. I've also read all of Sherlock Holmes. I also read a bunch of Akagawa Jiro in University. Miss Marple, I've seen on TV. I can't believe I missed out on another detective - Nero Wolfe!
2. Plan on making a batch of chili? Have a top secret recipe to share?
I actually made some today. My daughter asked for spaghetti (meat sauce) so I put some aside for me and added the chili powder and cumin to make the recipe that was in my diet menu for beanless chili. Chili beans actually contains more carbs than protein so this particular diet removed them from the menu. I add chick peas sometimes for the extra texture. Black beans would probably work well too. It is super yummy.

3. Does your car or did a family car have a name?
No
4. Did you walk to school with your friends? Take a school bus?
When I was in Japanese school, I walked with a group. My international school was a few stops away by train so I used to take the train and meet up with friends at the station near the school.
5. Ever have someone carry your books home from school?
I think I remember doing rock scissors paper to see who would carry them in Japanese school. Not at the international school.
