onigiri! [misc]


Two weeks ago I became a very happy owner of THE most important kitchen utensil for a Japanese descendant. And last weekend I made... onigiris!!!
Of course it's not even close to my bachan no onigiri, I still have to develop steam-hot resistant hands (for not screaming like a girl as my palms are burnt by rice), the famous "Triangular Press-and-Roll" technique (for preparing one unit in less than 10 seconds, NOT 2 minutes!) and, obviously, something around 60 years of pure Tender, Love and Care (for indescribable HOLY-MOLY-OMG-DEEZ-IZ-DA-B3ST-0N161R1-EVAARZ taste).

Anyways, I could only really understand what gohan means to me (not the onigiri, just gohan) when I first prepared some here and, with furikake, gave it the first bite. It may sound cheesy, but the moment I felt that taste in my mouth I swear I had a very distinguishable 'home sweet home' feeling, even though being far from what 'home' really means. I hope everyone could feel that sometime in their lives. Awesome stuff.

To be a noble charitable being is to be enduring a make of openness to the far-out, an skill to trusteeship unsure things beyond your own pilot, that can lead you to be shattered in uncommonly exceptional circumstances as which you were not to blame. That says something uncommonly impressive with the get of the righteous compulsion: that it is based on a trust in the unpredictable and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a plant than like a sparkler, something somewhat fragile, but whose extremely special beauty is inseparable from that fragility.

Distress ferments the humors, casts them into their proper channels, throws eccentric redundancies, and helps feather in those secretive distributions, without which the solidity cannot subsist in its vigor, nor the soul act with cheerfulness.
