    I researched your favourite dish. Japanese Curry. I went out and bought all the ingredients and made it from scratch. It was delicious and a regular dinner here now. Thank you

    Wonderful video. You're correct that the tender is one of the lifeboats used for ship evacuation! Nearly all cruise ships have a few of their lifeboats that are outfitted to be used as port tenders. It serves dual purpose. The ship is able to bring its tender boats with it so it doesn't have to rely on the port having tenders available, and it keeps the crew up to speed with operation of the lifeboats and all of their associated equipment to deploy and retrieve them. It's pretty neat! I've been on a few cruises, and I always like watching them launch and retrieve the tenders on tender port days.

    But I absolutely love wasabi, so since it is a staple ingredient/condiment in my home I have taken to using wasabi in place of traditional horseradish & it is just a lovely addition to the beef. I have you and your videos to thank for that. I’ve even started eating wasabi with a nice steak. 🤤 😃
