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.

  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,
