Some are delicious and some are more of an "acquired taste"<br />- KatieKatiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06625874983827841816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-86485051778700337522010-10-24T15:12:51.030-07:002010-10-24T15:12:51.030-07:00Oh what lovely pastries!

And doesn't a beautiful presentation add so much to the experience?<br />I've read a little bit about Japanese culture and they seem to incorporate gift-giving into so much of life. I think it's a beautiful practice and can enhance so much of human interaction. Some of the best gifts I've ever received were small, practical, common items given unexpectedly and presented very graciously.<br /><br />Today, I have gone to church (our adult Sunday School Study is very interesting and exciting!), gone to my son's football playoff game (a win---yeesssss!), and now DH is cooking (another win, for me), blog-surfing while the Patriots are on. It is a bit raw, cold (40's)with light rain off and on, so we aren't raking leaves, that was yesterday.WendyBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171619702536045694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-33166875274837756812010-10-24T13:27:40.519-07:002010-10-24T13:27:40.519-07:00Save the little box your goodies came in!

I only make greeting cards, so cutting paper into small pieces will make it easier to find just what I need.

I guess that the white round ones are made of rice flour and the colour and texture (as far I as can judge from the picture !) remind me of a Chinese treat I used to buy in Strasbourg, and it was delicious !!! (is it filled with an almond paste, a little yellowish in colour ?)Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01322650387912154048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-68436457803505278722010-10-23T17:36:51.000-07:002010-10-23T17:36:51.000-07:00Cooking, visiting with my two sons and daughter-in...Cooking, visiting with my two sons and daughter-in-law and playing with the cutest little 3 yr old grandson ever!

The triangular ones look like the ones that were the most popular. They were filled with a sweetened bean curd.Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-20969156836750023232010-10-23T11:43:54.291-07:002010-10-23T11:43:54.291-07:00I think but I'm not sure that the round ones a...I think but I'm not sure that the round ones are called Mochi.
