today i had really bad mochi.

i love mochi. looooove. and mochi ice cream is a staple. today we picked up the usual box of mikawaya red bean mochi ice cream at the supermarket. however, today it was bad. really bad. instead of the mochi being its usual chewy / gluten-y texture (or 'Q', as we taiwanese say), it was dry and crumbly and flaky and paper-y. my guess is freezer burn, but regardless of the reason, it was just plain gross.
