Greetings from San Francisco! Sorry for the delay in posting something -- I've been busy visiting Mom and doing her gardening, doing some research at Berkeley, and getting settled into my hotel. But now I'm here so let the culinary carnage begin.

Just to get your taste buds going, here is a little snack I ate this evening in anticipation of a late dinner. I usually go for my favorite mochi, yomogi, but today I tried something new: strawberry mochi. Ahhhhhhhh, so tender and moist and perfect in every way! This is the reason I stay in Japantown when visiting San Francisco.

The cherry blossoms happened to be blooming as soon as I arrived. Beautiful, aren't they?
More taste buds teasing soon -- stay tuned.

That looks really good, rather like Turkish Delight. What is it made from? have fun in San Fran... I have no idea about the geography of America. Is it warm there?
