Ah yes! Pink Mochi...

So, the main point of that last post was to talk about pink mochi, which I happen to be eating at this very moment.

Sometimes people ask me what pink mochi is and why my site is hosted on pinkmochi.com.

First things first.

Mochi is a yummy rice paste that is used in Asian cooking. My favorite way to eat mochi is stuffed with sweetened red bean paste, then fried and coated with sesame seeds. You can buy little balls of this stuff in Chinatown for about 3 for a dollar. To make mochi pink, add some red food coloring.

The pink mochi that I am eating. Correction. Ate. Just finished it. Yum. The pink mochi that I just ate was part of a strawberry mochi ice cream treat. You can find them at Trader Joe's, and they are good. Very good. Too good for your own good, really.

Now as to why this site is part of the pinkmochi empire is because my friend Ann, who comes up with great names like pinkmochi and great designs like the one for this site, is hosting it. Her actual web design site is quite pink, so it makes more sense. I have no idea why she called it pinkmochi, except that she is the one who turned me on to mochi ice cream, so I assume that she is quite the mochi fan. Pink? Well, Ann is into all of that Hello Kitty stuff, so it just fits.

If it were my webdesign company and I were naming it after mochi I would probably have called it palegraymochistuffedwithsweetenedredbeanpasteandfriedthencoveredwithsesameseeds.com. Now you can see why I do not have a web design company.
