I was in a bit of a pinch, and vegan ricotta isn't something I can find locally, so I tried draining a half-tub of almond yogurt with some cheese cloth and it worked out pretty well. I also mixed the yogurt with garlic powder, a little lemon juice, and nutritional yeast before draining. It isn't as thick as dairy ricotta, but it's thick enough to spread, so I used some of it in a calzone, and the rest I put in the fridge. I'm probably going to make another roasted garlic loaf tomorrow and the remaining "cheese" will be tasty spread on a warm slice.
Speaking of cooking, if you're missing Disney dishes while we're all cooped up at home, some sites are putting out recipes. The chefs are scaling recipes for home cooks and putting them out for us. One I found today is Ohana Noodles from the Polynesian - recipe here. For those unfamiliar Ohana Noodles are a pineapple teriyaki with cabbage. If you're an omnivore some pork would probably be a good addition. I am not really fond of pineapple but I don't mind the juice in things. I'm just not a Dole Whip fan, don't like it on pizza, and will pass on the pineapple upside down cake. Anyway, I'm probably going to try making this for us if I can get some of those little cans of pineapple juice.
I wanted to also focus this year on my Japanese, so I am going to make myself a daily "to do" for practicing. My goal is over the next week to spend half an hour each day doing something language-learning, like flashcards, playing Learn Japanese to Survive!, or the stuff if the language books I bought in Tokyo. Next time we go to Japan I'd like to be able to converse more and understand what's said to me without needing to ask for it in English, and hopefully to order food and stuff without having to point at the menu. So feel free to poke me and ask if I did my language practice for the day!
There obviously hasn't been much going on out here. That Ursula LeGuin book I ordered arrived - it shipped very quickly even with the slowdowns the USPS is experiencing right now. So I'm pretty well sold on bookshop.org! I even started a small wishlist there. The book is enormous - maybe 700 pages. Should keep me busy for a while! Two of the novellas are ones I've already read but I'll be happy to revisit them - "Vaster Than Empires and More Slow," and "Buffalo Gals."

I'm glad something like that exists, it's about time independent bookstores got the credit/money they deserve.
