Fall always feels like this. One day you’re BBQing outside in the sun wearing a t-shirt, then BOOM, pumpkin season has already given way to Christmas prep.
There’s something almost traumatic about it, every single year, as the warmth and light is ripped away from you and you plunge into cold and darkness.

The dog days of summer are here!🥴
To combat the heat it is customary to eat eel on 'doyō ushi-no-hi' (土用丑の日 'midsummer day of the ox' - July 30th this year).
Narumi Sekihan's (鳴海餅本店) 'unagi-manju' (うなぎ万寿) is an adorable alternative to gobbling up real Japanese eel (an endangered species).
