Xmas morning. A signature gift was a new Zojirushi rice cooker, so I’ll graduating from cooking rice in my old steamer (even if you don’t recognize the name, their elephant logo is conspicuous worldwide).

Zojirushi reminds me of the old Heroku office at 321 11th St, where we had a number of their vacuum boilers. They’d keep water at perfect coffee-brewing temperature, ready to make a Chemex pourover at any moment.
