Daifuku!

I haven't had any strange cravings, or really any cravings at all for anything, EXCEPT...
If my camera skills have left you guessing that is a delicious japanese bean cake! Interestingly it's one of the only things that Preston has NOT developed a taste for...crazy! I've been to several asian food stores in california and detroit asking for "monshu" and the people always look at me like I'm a crazy person so before I set out on my quest in kalamazoo I did some googling and found that they are called either "red bean cakes" or "daifuku." I had great success using these terms and my craving was satisfied!

I'm salivating; Connie gagging.

Funny, there was a pure rice version of that in the shape of a rainbow that I ate in the first week after finding out I was pregnant. I never could eat them again to this day.

I ate one last week after a long day at work. Who needs Snickers..Daifuku really satisfies!!

Has connie tried it, or is she gagging based on a description, because they sure don't sound appetizing when you say, "a rice cake filled with red beans" and yet....SO DELICIOUS!

I've tried it. And really, it's not that bad...
