Thank goodness I live in NYC. Otherwise, I might not have been able to sate the intense craving created after clicking over to happy mundane earlier today. There, Jon’s lovely photo (above) of Mochi green tea ice cream bonbons gave me such a hankering, I couldn’t wait to stop by the Japanese deli on my way from work. Ah, the joys of having a Japanese deli down the street. For those of you who have never savored such yumminess, let me explain: it’s little balls of ice cream wrapped in a sweet bean cake layer that’s dusted in powdered sugar. Variations of it are served at fancy restaurants, like Nobu, but you can also find them here. Here are a few other treats to make you drool: Whole wheat Mexican wedding cake at 101cookbooks.com. Orange brioches from Delicious Days. Green tea cat tongues (basically they’re little Madeleine-like cookies) from chocolateandzucchini.com. — Angela M.
