Gooey Killer Rice Cakes Loom Menacingly Over Tokyo! TOKYO -- Six elderly Japanese died and 25 others were hospitalized in Tokyo after choking on gooey rice cakes over the New Year's holidays, an official said. I'll be there myself Monday evening. The New Otani has ethernet in every room but, at 2000 Yen (about $20) a day, there may not be a business case for a firsthand report. The story may be over by then anyway: Twenty Japanese, most of them elderly, were hospitalized during the holiday last year after getting mochi lodged in their throats, but none died. A mochi accident survey is taken annually from Dec. 26 through Jan. 3, when the rice cakes are most commonly eaten. Okay, Frist wannabes, go to this page. Print it out. Carry it with you whenever you might be in the company of elderly people eating gooey stuff. You might be the next Mothra! 6:06:17 PM    comment []

RouladeScan™   Today is 01/02/03; hangover's gone, time to face the leftovers. Good thing Liz wrapped the roulade and got it and the perigourdine in the fridge. So, now, "Lotus Day" (1-2-3, get it?, haw-haw-haw!), I've sliced the roulade and sealed 3 pieces each in 3 FoodSaver bags. The sauce will be spooned into ice cube trays, frozen, and then into small FoodSaver bags. This all should have been done yesterday, but I slept all day. 4:56:08 PM    comment []

Brazilians hail new president Good thing the BBC is out there. I can't recall any US paper ever showing a picture of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. None of them even fronted the story of his inauguration. Those that mentioned it at all made sure to say he is "leftist." 1:38:02 AM    comment []
