Right. I'm okay. Mom stayed home with me yesterday and made sure I slept/ate and got me on the phone with my shrink. I was going to have an appointment with him yesterday, anyway, but yesterday was my Nice Day where I didn't have to do difficult things like go to therapy on two hours of sleep. So on the phone instead. He recommended I get out of the house for any reason I like, so I'm not OFFICIALLY okay until I go raid CVS for something frivolous. I'm thinking nail polish and shampoo. Or my books. Mom's gonna take me to Sasuga on Saturday. We'll see what their new digs are like.

I have three boxes of instant almond jelly from Sunday, too, so I'm going to put those to good use today.

Damn Sasuga and their slow shipping! *fistshake*

ARGH. I'm already worried about that. You know, they're just FINE when they have things in stock, it's just that they sometimes don't have a lot of stuff in stock, and then have to order it stright from Japan...which takes a bit. T_T I hope they have something for the test there.

instant almond jelly!

*remembers something about moon cake* what's that like? I've seen it, it seems pretty, but I don't know what it is :)

anyhow.. more importantly, I hope you feel better! *hugs* (and I hope you get to buy lots of cool random things.. that always helps ;))

I should just break down and call it almond jello. But jello doesn't have milk in it! Oh noes!!!!!

Let's see. Moon cakes. Look 'em up on Google, you'll get a ton of stuff. :B I've seen them filled with lotus paste, red bean paste, or nuts and meat, and I'm sure there's other flavors, too. (Lotus paste is my favorite. It kind of reminds me of peanut butter, only less salty.) There's also a whole egg yolk inside. Yang tells me they are so popular with the rest of the world that they are the mainstay of Chinese bakeries. ...so I'm going to go give the Chinatown economy a shot in the arm on Sunday. Yup yup.

waouw, so many different things! *must try* but.. how does the whole egg yolk thing work? do you have to cook it, or..?

Nahh, it's all cooked inside. It's like a hard-boiled egg without the white or shell. :D Some kind of ancient Chinese steaming magic.

Heh heh. Fun lard stuff. That's not Japanese. Lard. =_=

What? -.-??? I never told you that they're so popular w/ the rest of the world that they are the mainstay of Chinese bakeries....at least I don't remember. However, I DO remember telling you [at the Super 88 last Sunday] that they're made in China mostly for the Mid-Autumn Festival in August. And then made in such overwhelming quantities that it constitutes what is essentially an annual menstruation of the Chinese bakery industry. And then you commented "so we're the pad...."

But they ARE so popular w/ the rest of the world b/c the rest of the world hasn't fully realized that Moon Cakes are simply well-dressed delivery vehicles for lard. Yep. LARD

But it's kinda yummy lard. And so pretty.

No, I'm not being a pinhead American, I thought that if the quantities were OVERWHELMING, that meant they overwhelmed Chinatown and spilled out into the rest of Boston. You know, moon cakes! In the street! In the war zone! Covering the Boston Commons! And that it was a REALLY BIG DEAL, and EVERYBODY ELSE had to buy some, to get rid of them all. And then the hullaballoo would die down and the little people would go back to their normal lives...until HALLOWEEN. Man, these bakeries need a pad with wings. (Isn't it fun to live in my head? :D Or maybe just stupid. I feel like Osaka.)
