Happy New Year! We’re already five days into the new year, but I’m still going to say “Happy New Year” since this is my first post in 2010.

Last week’s post featured the taro bread I made after reminiscing the food I grew up with in Houston. This week I took the same taro paste recipe and used it in this taro mochi. I’ve made mochi a time or two before, but I never successfully made a filled mochi until now.

Tim and I had a great time in Houston last weekend – we spent quality time with my parents, ate a lot of great food, and met up with some of my oldest and dearest friends. And when I say old I mean longest relationships.

This is a first for me – participating in Hay Hay It’s Donna Day! I do adore Donna Hay, and I also adore all the previous hosts of this event. I’ve been a long time reader of Helen’s at tartelette, and when I saw she was hosting HHDD #11, I had to join in on the fun.
