on good and mmmmmmmevil

[arguchik]

my evil, evil neighbors K and M (to whom i refer affectionately as "the girls") introduced me to an evil, evil product known as mochi ice cream. it's available at trader joe's. the mochi part is a doughy, rice-based substance that you can get by itself, or wrapped around various things. this particular product is mochi wrapped around ice cream, and shaped like a ball about the size of a lime. i tried the strawberry flavor and the mango flavor. just imagine it...it is ice cream you can eat with your hands, without getting messy (except for a little rice flour residue). i now want to go to trader joe's and fill my freezer with this product.

henceforth, "the girls" will be known as "the mochi pushers." mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmochi. :-d

hey, the_kender, mr. bubble tea afficionado extraordinaire, have you tried this shit? next time we get together...it's a date with some mochi. (since you seem to have permanently disabled comments in your own journal, i am forced to ask you these questions in my journal. when will you be in town again? think some mochi might cheer you up? it worked for me...)

I have no plans on Saturday currently and was supposed to be going to Seattle. I don't want to go Seattle on only one plan on Friday, so if you want to absorb my Saturday, I could use it.

I'm a big fan of mochi ice cream -- we'll have to hit up the Uwajimaya Village so you can see the couple of makers and the more than two flavors that they have out there ^_^ Plus we can hit up Dim Sum since the place I wanted to take you to is in the ID.

So if your Sat isn't busy, call me directly so I can change my weekend plans swiftly and let the person I was going to give a ride know.

i *do* have plans saturday night. i'm going to see carlotta's late night wingding with my friend L. i have other free time this weekend, though. i'll call you tonight (thursday).

p.s. does the dim sum place make veggie options? i don't eat meat...i'll eat the shrimp and fish stuff, though.

How's Friday sound?

Looks like my Sat just got re-taken too and I'd be leaving on Sunday around noon anyway.

And yeah, there are some veggie options I believe...

i too, am an evil mochi pusher.
love the stuff! but i'm really only into the chocolate ice cream mochi.

[arguchik.livejournal.com]

i'm sure chocolate will be my favorite flavor. the mochi pushers only had strawberry and mango. they said TJ's makes a green tea flavor too, which i'm sure i'll like (i like green tea ice cream, so...).

can't wait to hit the ID this weekend and see what they have there. lol--i'm building my weekend around mochi and carlotta...
