Bernie Hems chats to Yumi Lee, CEO of the Older Women's Network NSW. This is part of Bernie's weekly program Chat Tuesday at 10am, 

Yumi gets excited to be tasked with the responsibility of cooking a cake big enough to feed a crowd, that is stable enough to take to the beach.It uses Nagi's 'My Very Best Vanilla Cake' - which is dead-set reliable and brilliant.A couple of variations: I cook it in a 28 x 35 roasting tin which I line with baking paper and give a light spray with cooking oil.I also always use coconut oil (the runny, liquid kind) as the oil in the recipe.Contrary to what I was planning when we recorded this episode, I changed my mind about the icing and used my own recipe:YUMI's KILLER ICING500g fresh ricotta (the kind that is sold in a basket or from the deli, NOT the stuff in the tub)1 block of lactose-free cream cheese (I have found this in ALDI)260g icing sugar2tsp vanilla essence and 1tsp vanilla pasteWhizz everything up in a food processor. You'll need to stop a couple of times and scrape the mixture down the sides. Whizz until glossy and lump-free.Dress the cake immediately if you're eating it immediately. If you're taking it somewhere, my recommendation is you decant the icing into a sealable container (I use a big, clean 2L yoghurt tub) and keep it cool in an insulated bag with a couple of icebricks until needed. (NO ONE wants beach-warm dairy!) Dress with a silicone paddle and top with hundreds and thousands and candles and other delightful nonsense! Hosted on Acast.

Yumi Ito konnte kaum laufen, da versuchte sie sich schon an einem Babyklavier. Im Alter von drei Jahren begann sie eine klassische Musikausbildung nach der sogenannten Suzuki-Methode. Diese Methode basiert auf dem Prinzip des Muttersprachenerwerbs und ermöglicht Kindern früh durch Hören, Beobachten und Nachahmen den Einstieg in ein Instrument. Das musikalische Elternhaus bot die besten Voraussetzungen für dieses spielerische Lernen von Musik. Nun hat die 1990 in Basel geborene Pianistin, Sängerin und Komponistin ihr erstes Soloalbum mit dem Titel „Lonely Island“ vorgelegt. Ein sehr persönliches Album, reduziert auf ihre Stimme und das Klavier - die Instrumente, die Yumi Ito von klein auf begleiten. Es ist ein Album, das durch meisterhaftes Klavierspiel und gekonnte Improvisationen überzeugt, schwärmt unsere Jazzkritikerin Marlene Küster.

  Ulysses encounters a seemingly lifeless world. He discovers that its people were once famed for their medical technology, prompting Yumi to take her brother Numinor there to revive him. But the gods have left a nasty surprise.

One of Simon's cookbooks has gone to #1 in Australia for the past fortnight.It's called The Weekly Grocery Shop and you can buy it here.The idea kind of inspired Yumi to make croutons (again). This time using an innovation borne of necessity. But they're REALLY GOOD!Pre-heat your oven to 150C and find the biggest trays you have.Take one stale sourdough baguette and slice into the thinnest possible rounds.Lay out the pieces of bread like large coins over the baking trays.Use a microplane to grate a smoked tasty cheese over the bread slices.Drizzle lightly with olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and sesame seeds (optional).Bake for 15-20 mins or until smelling toasty and feeling very crunchy.Store in an airtight container until needed - should last 2 weeks.Serve in Caesar Salad, Rocket and Pear Salad or on any soups.

Does your dream have only correct interpretation? No! I believe that there are many valuable ways to explore a dream and many layers of meaning. This week the Dream Journal hosts four dream guest experts who offer a range of ways to explore dreams to get you thinking about how to expand your thinking about dreaming. Join me, Katherine Bell, with my guests Linda Mastrangelo, Lauren Schneider, Victoria Rabinowe, and Marilyn Manzi as we take a wide-ranging ramble into the world of the dream. Linda speaks about finding community as a dreamer. Victoria speaks about the value of little dreams about about forming dream groups. Marilyn speaks about befriending our inner monsters both asleep and awake. Lauren tells us about using Tarot cards to find meaning about finding resilience, personally and collectively. Katherine ends the first half by talking about using a treasure hunt approach to dream exploration.  In the second half, we speak more informally about neural circuitry, anxiety dreams, nightmares, and many other topics. We also take a call from Cindy Bishop, a dream artist from San Luis Obispo who mentions our Festival of Dreams keynote speaker Dr. Apela Colorado and her book Woman between the Worlds.

Yumi is drawn to a book called The Regional Italian Cookbook but hits some speed humps in trying to make the perfect Potato Cake.Can you pronounce Spressa delle Giudicarie? In this episode you can hear Yumi make multiple attempts to say the name of the cheese, which we were unable to find (email us if you know where to get it! foodfixemail@gmail.com ) Grease with butter a 23cm cake tin and drizzle with olive oil.Pre-heat the oven.Run 1kg of peeled potatoes through a grater.Mix with 1 egg, beaten with 200ml water.Fold through 120g plain flour (or less).season with salt and pepperMix well then put into greased tin.Top with curls of butter (I used about 100g).Top with handfuls of grated Fontina cheese or Spressa delle Guidicarie cheese.Bake on 180C for 35 mins.Serve hot!

'Cacio e Pepe' is having a moment - but Simon has a fantastic spin on the idea that makes it a great dish for ONE (*side eye Yumi*) and cuts the amount of carbs.Use one jar of fancy white beans, drain and cook up in a half cup or so of stock with a big knob of butter. Warm it up and then add a generous fistful of Pecorino cheese and a MASSIVE grind of freshly ground black pepper. (Be like Simon - or don't! - and get the best, most interesting black peppercorns you can find.)Stir and add more cheese, more pepper, and wait until it tastes "restaurant fancy". Hosted on Acast.

Maddie & Christina are here to review Our Unwritten Seoul! Maddie FINALLY decided to watch this amazing drama, and Christina couldn't be more thrilled. This drama is definitely “Christina-coded” and could be her drama of the year. WHAT?!Our Unwritten Seoul is about two twins, Mi-Ji & Mi-Jae (Park Bo-young – Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, Daily Dose of Sunshine), who are complete opposites. Mi-Jae works a finance job in Seoul, while Mi-Ji continues to live in their farming hometown, helping her family and doing a myriad of jobs. Both women are in a rut and need time apart from their current situations, so they end up switching places temporarily.In this review, the ladies talk about how beautiful the writing is, how amazing the women characters are, and how the two male leads (Jinyoung – GOT7, Yumi's Cells & Ryu Kyung-soo – Itaewon Class) are some of the BIGGEST GREEN FLAGS in the history of green flags. This drama pulls at your heartstrings and teaches you that everyone needs help through life — and that it's never too late to start again.“Yesterday is over. Tomorrow is yet to come.

On this episode, Simon reveals just how much he listens to Yumi's work on Double J, and reminisces about when his kids were so little he had to make lots of tray-bakes, because they're very "set-and-forget" - allowing one to get on with the very hands-on work of parenting!ONE TRAY SALMON (or other fish) BAKEPre-heat the oven to 220C.Rub a family sized salmon fillet with dijon mustard, oil, salt and pepper.Chop a fennel bulb into narrow-ish wedges. Add to the tray with broccoli florets, squished kalamata olives, lemon zest, fennel seeds and a big drizzle of oil.Cook for 15 mins and serve immediately. Hosted on Acast.

Who DOESN'T adore a linguine or spaghetti - with prawns?It's one of my favourites (Yumi) and it's been a goal of mine this year to figure out the best recipe for making it at home. For myself. Cos - yum.COMBINING marinated prawns with THIS RECIPE FOR SPAGHETTI ALLA ASSASINA is a bit of a cheat... but if you love chilli...and black pepper...and prawns... This is going to be a winner!I used 150g of prawn tail meat per serve, and marinated them in a non-reactive bowl with a couple of teaspoons of sambal oelek (from the mainstream supermarket) and a ton of fresh black pepper. You don't want the marinade to be soggy.PS. I got lazy and one time tried just tossing the prawns in with the spaghetti as it cooked and IT FAILED. Soggy prawns and super gross. You need to fry the prawns seperately! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It feels like Spring and Summer are around the corner, and Yumi is excited about a pasta salad that can be served warm and has a super-cute, mouth-pleasing texture that may well intern it into the FOREVER FILES.Based on this recipe, Yumi has halved the quantities to suit her ("Mercifully Divorced") lifestyle and improved it by cooking the corn and adding chopped smoked almonds at the end.Quick answer to a riddle we don't solve on-air: Creste di Gallo looks like this!And the book Simon is talking about is The Geometry of Pasta.SUPER-CUTE PASTA SALAD125g ditalini pasta2 ears fresh corn, shucked and washed1-2 large stalks celery, peeled and finely chopped2 tbs finely chopped fresh chivesroughly chopped smoked almonds (optional)DRESSINGGranulated sugar (probs don't need)2 tablespoons white or yellow miso2.5 tablespoons lemon juice1 tablespoon hot hot chilli sauce, minced chipotles in adobo, or gochujang, or sambal oelek1/4 cup mayonnaise (I use Kewpie)METHODPrepare the dressing by whisking all the ingredients together in a tiny bowl or jar.Prepare the celery by chopping to pieces the same size as the pasta will be when cooked (about the same size as an adult human tooth).In a large, heavy-based pan, cook the corn until slightly charred.Boil the pasta to al dente. (Very important not to overcook it or it'll be gross!)Drain the pasta well then combine the salad ingredients, mix well and pour over the dressing.Serve immediately with smoked almonds scattered over the top.LEFTOVERS can be revived with some fresh rocket, tuna, chopped tomato, etc. Hosted on Acast.

Yumi's son is the main budding chef in the brood, and he's obsessed with this book by Reece Hignell. It means Yumi and Manbaby have tried MANY recipes from the book, including this one for a giant Devil's Food Chocolate Cake.CAKE BOI'S DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE - aka Chocolate Lover's Heaven!Pre-heat the oven to 160C fan-forced.Grease and line 2 20cm cake tins.Sift 480g flour, 700g caster sugar, 170g cocoa powder, 4tsp baking soda, 1tsp baking powder and 1tbs salt. (Yep, I said 1 teaspoon but it's actually a whole TABLESPOON.) Reece's recipe also has 1tsp ground nutmeg to add in at this point although we left this out cos = fussy kids.In the bowl of a stand mixer, add 480g milk, 1 cup vegetable oil, 2tsp vanilla and 4 eggs. Mix on medium speed for 1 minute.Add 1/3 of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Fully combine before repeating with the remaining 2/3. Add in 480ml boiling water then mix for 1 minute.Divide the mixture evenly (I use scales) between the 2 cake tins then bake for 50 - 55 mins.Check with a skewer that the cake is cooked - a few moist crumbs is good, wet batter is not.Allow the cooked cake to cool on a wire rack.My kids don't like icing so we stop here!ICING:Finely chop 400g of 54% cocoa chocolate. Place in a stand mixing bowl.Heat 600ml thickened cream in a small saucepan until it reaches a simmer. Add in 50g butter, then pour the lot over the chopped chocolate.Allow it to sit for 1 minute, then mix it until smooth and glossy. Add 1tsp vanilla and a pinch of salt. Stir well, then refrigerate for 1 hour to set.Run the icing in the electric mixer to get fluffy and awesome. Spread over the two cakes. Reece suggests horizontally halving the cakes to make 4 layers.

This week on the podcast, Hame is joined by broadcaster, author, mum, podcaster, and all-round Aussie icon — Yumi Stynes.Now nine years sober, Yumi shares the full arc of her relationship with alcohol: from growing up in Swan Hill and nervously sipping booze as a teen, to navigating grief after the loss of her dad, and working in the booze-fuelled world of music television during her time at Channel V.We also touch on post-natal depression, shame as an unexpected motivator, the myth of “cool”, and some frankly hilarious (and horrifying) stories from the wild days of drinking. Oh, and yes, that kiss with Robbie Williams that changed the course of her life and career!Yumi's honesty and insight shine throughout this conversation, and she reminds us that the best drugs of all are free, legal, and available daily, and no, we're not talking about pills, powders or pints.Her decades-long career in the public eye has grown and evolved alongside her sobriety, and she credits her current creative energy to leaving alcohol behind.Yumi is a dream guest, raw, wise, funny, and we hope you get as much from this episode as we did.

Akira felt uneasy about being unable to work.Ja: 米農場の未来を案じていた彼にとって、大きな問題です。En: This was a significant concern for him as he worried about the future of the rice farm.Ja: 病院で診察後、医者は彼に休むように言いましたが、アキラは心配に悩んでいました。En: After a checkup at the hospital, the doctor advised him to rest, but Akira was troubled by his concerns.Ja: "一人で全部やらなきゃならないのに..."彼はこれまで人に頼ることを避けていました。En: "I have to do everything on my own..." He had avoided relying on others until now.Ja: しかし、ユミは兄に言いました。「アキラ兄さん、一人で頑張らなくてもいいよ。En: However, Yumi told her brother, "You don't have to do everything by yourself, Akira niisan.Ja: みんなで助け合おうよ！」そこで、ユミは子どもの日を機に農場で小さなイベントを企画しはじめました。En: Let's all help each other!" With that in mind, Yumi began planning a small event at the farm on Children's Day.Ja: そして、子どもの日、ユミは村の家族たちを集めて農場に呼び寄せました。En: On Children's Day, Yumi gathered the families from the village and invited them to the farm.Ja: 色とりどりのこいのぼりが風に揺れ、子どもたちは笑顔を浮かべながら走り回ります。En: Colorful koinobori fluttered in the wind, and the children beamed with smiles as they ran around.Ja: 家族同士で力を合わせ、田植えの作業を行いました。En: Families joined forces to carry out the rice planting work.Ja: 楽しげな話し声が、丘を越えて遠くまで響きました。En: The joyous chatter resonated far beyond the hills.Ja: アキラはその光景を見て、考えを改めました。En: Seeing this scene, Akira reconsidered his perspective.Ja: この村には、こんなにもあたたかい人たちがいるんだなと彼はつぶやきました。En: "This village is filled with such warm-hearted people," he murmured.Ja: そこでようやくアキラは、他の人々に頼ることも農場の成功にとって大切なことだと理解しました。En: Finally, Akira understood that relying on others was also crucial for the farm's success.Ja: 村人たちの協力のおかげで、米の植え付けは無事に終わりました。En: Thanks to the villagers' cooperation, the rice planting was successfully completed.Ja: アキラは笑顔で感謝の気持ちを伝えました。En: With a smile, Akira expressed his gratitude.Ja: みんな、本当にありがとう。En: "Everyone, thank you so much."Ja: 春の風が優しく吹き抜ける農場には、仲間たちの絆がさらに強まり、続く季節もまた新しい希望にあふれています。En: As the gentle spring breeze swept through the farm, the bonds among the companions strengthened, and the coming seasons brimmed with new hope.Ja: そして、アキラとユミはこれからも力を合わせ、村の未来を支える心の準備ができていました。En: Akira and Yumi were ready to join forces and support the future of the village.

Stack them rocks!

We talk about painting. We talk about nightmares. We talk about Design. Hilarity ensues.

We begin our next series, this time on Capital Punishment. We start with the history of crimes throughout written history that justified the death penalty. Then we get into colonial history and how the death penalty was built into the foundations of racist America. Multiple Supreme Court rulings have shifted the landscape.
