Reinventing the wheel: milk, microbes, and the fight for real cheese
"Reinventing the Wheel is equal parts popular science, history, and muckraking. Over the past hundred and fifty years, dairy farming and cheesemaking have been transformed, and this book explores what has been lost along the way. Today, using cutting-edge technologies like high-throughput DNA sequencing, scientists are beginning to understand the techniques of our great-grandparents. The authors describe how geneticists are helping conservationists rescue rare dairy cow breeds on the brink of extinction, microbiologists are teaching cheesemakers to nurture the naturally occurring microbes in their raw milk rather than destroying them, and communities of cheesemakers are producing "real" cheeses that reunite farming and flavor, rewarding diversity and sustainability at every level."--Provided by publisher.

Panzanella
Panzanella, which sounds as though it should be the name of the beautiful heroine in a ballet or a fairy tale, is the word for a damp and tomatoey bread salad from Italy. Not only is it a good way of using bread past its bouncy best, but it is also a jubilant end for a handful of tomatoes so old they're moving beyond ripeness and towards skin-splitting, fuzzy-fleshed maturity.

There's an infuriating AI article in the Society of Authors magazine. "Bec Evans searches for principles that could guide authors' use of generative AI." A bunch of authors who all say they wouldn't use it to write but will to 'research', 'remove friction', 'fact check and propose rewrites'.

Burgerville Vancouver, WA ⭐ $ The Northwest Cheeseburger from Burgerville, with Tillamook cheddar cheese, as well as mayo, ketchup, pickles, tomato, and lettuce. The only fast food burgers I'll eat. Decent value. The sides are often better than the burgers but it tastes like nostalgia. #CBDB
