Our friend NT came back from the far East bearing gifts, delicious crunchy gifts... what a dear lady she is. Knowing how fond I am of sweet potatoes, dear NT chose something I had never, ever seen before from the sweet potato canon -- picked up on the fly, dashing through Tokyo last week -- these sato imo (sweet potato) o-kashi (sweets), handmade by some truly patient and dedicated person who even took the trouble to affix black sesame seeds to them now and again. Oh, delish!!
Undoubtedly these will taste really fantabulous when we put kettle on hob and make some hojicha (roasted bancha), which we were, in fact, just thinking of doing...
Please come back later to see who came to visit the farmlet last night, just in time for Animal Wednesday! Cheerio for the present, with tea-stained kisses,
Dustin (as Trixie waves from the next room)
