[Mochi with kinako (soybean powder) and sweet shoyu sauce]
We had a mochi-making ceremony called mochitsuki at my school. Mochi, or rice cake, is a traditional food eaten during the New Year in Japan. Mochi-making is quite a labour intensive process, what with all the washing, cooking, pounding and wetting to make glutinous rice into sticky rice cakes. I got to do some pounding with a mochi mallet! My hard work of waving around the mallet ten times was rewarded with two globs of mochi (see above), yummy!

I am not too sure. Think I'll stick to Xmas Pud & Mince Pies?
Hope you have a very enjoyable Xmas, and a Fantastic New Year. XXX
It's yummy, honest!
Thanks Ron, you too. Keep me up-to-date about the new dog when she arrives in the next few weeks, would love to hear about her. x
