Ozoni revisited
I went to Donki (Don Quijote) today to pick up the ingredients for the ozoni. Luckily, they still had some good-looking mizuna and the Hokki clams left after the new year’s rush. The Hokkigai was $15.77 a can, but I figured what the heck, it’s once a year. Mom-in-law dedicates an entire day to making mochi for the entire family using her mochi machine and some good old-fashioned elbow grease, so we came home with a gallon-sized ziploc bag full of the glutinous rice goodness yesterday. When I discovered how long it takes her (8 hours!), I promised that I would help her next year.
I’m debating whether to make a new videolog entry for this year’s ozoni. Nothing has changed, so it would be redundant. However, maybe I could do a mochi-grilling vlog? But then again, how interesting is it to watch mochi fry? About as exciting as watching grass grow, I would assume. Well, we’ll see if inspiration hits.
A 30-something Christian girl, blissfully wedded to her perfect match (the yang to her yin) of 14 years. A new mom to her miracle baby, born on October 4, 2008. 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.
How do you like DonKi? I’m assuming you’re going to either Waipahu or Pearl City. The one on Kaheka is just too garish for me (and given my taste in shorts, that says a lot!). Kailua’s okay, though.
