Delicious in Dungeon s1 (2024) [/] Netflix anime series based on a manga. In a fantasy world with dungeons, a party of four -- Laios (Damien Haas) the human fighter/leader, Marcille (Emily Rudd) the elf mage, Chilchuck (Casey Mongillo) the halfling rogue, and Senshi (SungWon Cho) the dwarf fighter/cook -- venture deep into the dungeon to rescue Laios' sister. But to do that they have to travel light and so resort to cooking up and eating the dungeon monsters, the various dishes of which are presented as in a cooking show... The cooking part gets a bit boring but there is a larger plot, good characters, and ok humor so the anime is still worth watching.

Doodle God Universe (2021) [/] Apple Arcade game. You start with two elements which you combine to form a third element (element being generic, material maybe better as you can create sand or lava). Now you have three elements you can combine to create further elements. Objective is to create 138 elements with a trial and error game play. Nice graphics and animations and little quotes whenever a new element is created. Seems rather limited of a challenge though which makes me see this as a game for youngsters.

Izakaya Mai - Yaki Udon (Stir Fried) [/] "Stir fried udon noodle with mixed seafood, pork, fish cakes, veggies, yaki soba sauce, sesame seed, and fish flakes on top." ($20) I had it with pork and yellow noodle. I guess too much like a Chinese stir fry noodle dish and not remarkable. Steph ordered fresh oysters which were a bit lemony and maybe would have tasted better with the sauce (which we didn't see).
