No laundromat reading due to inclement weather. Instead, I am reading Pure Invention: How Japan Made The Modern World by Matt Alt @mattalt.bsky.social before I go out and shovel for the second time.

This came in the mail today. Rintaro by Sylvan Mishima Brackett. My first cookbook of 2026 and my first purchased cookbook in some time. I can't think of another cookbook focusing on izakaya food, so I hope I can get some use out of this one.

Another thread to highlight more of my favorite area businesses, as my previous thread got bollixed up.
This is Jewett's Cheese House in Earlville. It's miles out of town down a back road and remember not to go on Saturdays, because that's when they're closed.
