mochi!

I have never actually KNOWN what mochi was until last week.  I was at my grocery store and,  lo and behold!  "Japanese Style Green Tea Mochi- made in Taiwan".
I grabbed a box and tried it at home.  It has the most delightful squishy texture- SO squishy and soft and pleasing to hold, a bit funny to eat but all in all a good experience.
I am a big fan of textures in food- I love chocolate with rice krispies in it, I am crazy about slippery noodles in pho soup ( sorry Krissy -lol!) and I love food in its own packages- ravioli, burritos, dumplings, spring rolls, perogies!
So there you go- Mochi- yum!
Now I want some molten chocolate cake...

Hi Tania:

I could wander around in here for hours.....
but down to business... I tried to send a message to you on your
Email Me option but it was a no-go, so thought I'd pop the message in here.
First, I have to apologize because I 'lifted' some of your images to advertise you on the Craft Sale Website-if that's not acceptable let me know or if there are other images you'd prefer me to use just attach them in an Email to me at

cbccraftsale@gmail.com

Also, any chance of a plug for above on your site?

Cheers
Julie
