	Experiments in revision control: Curry recipe.

	My personal recipe for Japanese curry, which has mutated over the years and is
	now open-source thanks to github, hot damn. Some of the ingredients are not
	very Japanese, but curry came to Japan from England which got it from India to
	begin with, so whatever.

	1.5 - 2 lbs. of meat, prefer thin-sliced beef (komagire), pork works, too.
	Thin-sliced stuff is always best, but in a pinch stewing beef works. Bacon
	works surprisingly well. Chicken will work, technically, but if you must,
