Well, it's not as cold as Utah, but the weather here has been a little chilly and wet during January. So we haven't been out doing much. But a week or so ago, we went to a fund raising festival at a local orphanage, where they made mochi. Mochi is made from a special kind of rice. They steam it and then they pound it with big wooden sledge hammers until it forms this really gooey, sticky, chewy substance. Then they shape it into balls and dust it with corn starch or something, and put stuff on it or in it, and eat it. I like it.
Here we are pounding away...
Mochi with peanut butter. Holly can't get enough peanut butter lately...
I'll just add this for kicks. Our farmer neighbor asked me the other day if I liked lettuce. I said sure I like lettuce. He asked if I wanted to try some of his. I said sure I'd like to try some if he had a little extra. A little while later he knocked on the door with 4 ginormous heads of lettuce and about 10 lbs. of potatoes. We've been eating a lot of salad this week.
