Happy Hearts
Assorted haupia mochi by “Happy Hearts” mochi,
a.k.a., the “mochi lady”
Talk about serendipity! A late afternoon phone call from Renee resulted in a quick detour off my afternoon commute and sent me home with a “bento box” full of the most delectable mochi ever.
Strawberry Azuki Mochi
When I got home, I handed it to Hubby and told him that it was a “get well” gift for him. However, he couldn’t eat it until I was done photographing it. The look on his face was priceless. (I felt a little remorse for torturing him like that, but it was fleeting.) He waited eagerly as I carefully staged the mochi on pretty plates that we never use for daily consumption and photographed the mochi from various angles.
Peanut Butter Mochi
Finally, I was done. The sweet taste of mochi on his lips was enough to lift his spirits after a tough week of recovery. Thanks for being so thoughtful, Renee! That act of kindness certainly blessed our “happy hearts.”
A 30-something Christian girl, blissfully wedded to her perfect match (the yang to her yin) of 14 years. Living life in Hawaii, less than 5 miles from her hometown, a slave to her mortgage payment, but seeking balance in her pursuit of family, faith, recreation, and rest.
my mouth is watering just looking at your pics! oh, and get well soon to the hubby! i hope he’s “back” to normal soon (pun intended)!
Mouth. Watering. Yum. I haven’t had any mochi (obviously) since I left Oahu years ago. But these pictures ALMOST brought the taste and texture to mind. Yum. Hope your love savored every bite! What a good wife you are
