В этом подкасте я пересказываю статью "Гид по счастью".

Привет, это Наташа!

Эпизод 43. Элементы счастья.

La Muelona es una leyenda que se cuenta principalmente en los pueblos de los Andes colombianos. Según la historia, la Muelona era una mujer muy hermosa, pero de corazón malvado. En vida, solía engañar a los hombres y causaba mucho sufrimiento, hasta que finalmente murió en circunstancias misteriosas. Después de su muerte, su espíritu quedó condenado a vagar eternamente en busca de hombres a quienes castigar.

Lo que más destaca de la Muelona es su sonrisa aterradora, porque tiene unos dientes extremadamente grandes y afilados, con los que devora a sus víctimas. Se aparece especialmente a los hombres infieles o los que han cometido algún mal, seduciéndolos con su belleza para luego mostrar su verdadera forma y atacarlos. Quienes han logrado escapar de ella aseguran que lo único que puede detenerla es una oración o el uso de amuletos religiosos.

私の最近ハマっていることはインド料理を作ることです。
先日電子レンジで作れるインド料理のレシピの本を見つけて、Kindleで買いました。週末はその本に載っていたビリヤニ（Biryani）を作りました。とても簡単においしく作れたので、今度はカレーのレシピに挑戦したいと思っています。
ご存じのとおり、インド料理にはスパイスがたくさん必要です。私の場合は、以前にカレーを作るために買ったたくさんのスパイスがあったので、それを使っています。
驚いたことに、この話を何人かの生徒に話したところ、インド料理にハマっている生徒が二人もいることがわかりました。もしかしたら世界的にインド料理のブームが来ているのかもしれません。
私の住んでいる街にはインド料理のレストランが一軒もないので、インド料理を家で作れるのはとてもうれしいです。
皆さんはインド料理が好きですか？家でカレーを作ったことはありますか？
