Is this supposed to be *new* information?

I wandered across a supposedly all-new woo-hoo! easy way of making onigiri... which I've been using in a less-complicated way for the last twenty years. Sure, you can wet your hands and make them that way if you don't have any plastic wrap, but the "cheating" method has always worked well for me. But in that blog post, I don't know why the poster is futzing around with the small cup - hands work just fine. Mmm, I should get some bonito and/or furikake mix, pickled daikon, nori and decent rice, and get cracking. The nice thing about that post is it describes how to make the toasted ones. I love those.

There was a cool Japanese shop by Piccadilly Circus in London, which had the super-duper prepacked ones that you have to unwrap (scroll down the page a bit for the instructions - it took me a while to RTFM too). I couldn't find a place that served fresh ones, for the life of me. Or a place that did chirashizushi... for less than 30 quid.

And I wagged work today. I didn't think I was that unwell - I've been functional over the weekend - but I decided to stay away another day to get rid of most of it. So, I sent my bosses an email at 8am (yay Blkberi!) and crashed out... until nearly 1pm. I must have been less well than I thought. I certainly don't feel overslept. Back on deck tomorrow!
