Another reason healthy eating is overrated. (Personally tonight, I tucked into a portion of spaghetti carbonara from Tutto Pasta larger than a jack-o-lantern, and I’m feeling no ill effects. I did bring a lot of it home, though.)

I clicked the link, and was immediately confronted by the enormous, greasy face of Jack Nicholson. That alone was enough to put me off eating anything, healthy or otherwise.
Mochi is closer to a western pastry or confection than what we think of as rice cakes.
Jack was staring at me too.
Mochi is pretty frickin’ good. You can actually get mochi-flavored ice cream in Japan — try that with American rice cakes.
What I found particularly amusing was the fact that Japanese firefighters were the ones to tell old people to chew.
Maybe the idea is that the elderly are more likely to listen to a garishly-dressed man with an axe.
I’m trying to remember that fairy tale about the woodsman — is he the one that saved Little Red Riding Harlot from the Big Bad Pimp?
