All I can say to that is that for the sake of your loved ones DON’T write off ailments as things that will pass when they seem to linger. Get them checked out. Death is inevitable but it doesn’t have to be take down the ones you love.

If anyone wanna try to do this but don't have the Mochi machine, you can use your bread machine/maker. It can also "pound" cooked rice but I think you might need to cook the rice in your rice cooker first because I don't think you can use bread machine to cook rice.

A friend of mine who lived in Japan for a while, taught me how to make a version where you fry the squares of mochi with a bit of soy sauce, maybe a touch of sugar, and sesame oil, and brown it on both sides, and then scoop it into nori. the texture is startlingly like a grilled cheese sandwich. Really good with a few toasted sesame seeds....I now have to make this again XD

just made mochi for the New Year. I made Kagamochi Japanese alter piece, anko (red bean paste) mochi, and regular mochi.

I use kirimochi as a glutefree pizza dough option. I put a few pieces in a oiled pan, fry them until they start to puff, and then I flatten them with a wet wooden spoon so they'll stick together and create a tortilla-sized ring. Then when the bottom gets crispy, I top it with pizza sauce and topping, pops it under the broiler for a while, and boom! Perfect Pizza.

Kiri-mochi with a slice of cheese and Nori wrapping is also delicious. By the middle of January, the exposed mochi get harden much. My grandmother used to make Okaki with them.
