Pumpkin Mochi

I have been craving pumpkin everything lately (‘tis the season), so I made a pan of pumpkin mochi.  I had D bring in some to work to share with his co-workers.  I warned him that mochi is an acquired taste, so he should put out a sign to explain what it is.

If you can’t read it, it states:

“Pumpkin Mochi; Mochi is a sweet Japanese treat.  The addition of pumpkin makes it perfect for fall.  Great with coffee.  by: Lauren Lim, authentic Japanese American”. 

D cracks me up!
