Homemade rice balls—or onigiri, if you prefer.
As a bit of a celebration of my return to the land of the cyberliving, see here the most exciting thing I've done in two days.

This is a first attempt; they'll get better-looking.  But they still taste delicious, even though they're funny-lookin'.

The saran wrap made things one hell of a lot easier to manage, that's for certain. Don't forget the Saran wrap, though--unless you want a nice, steamy rice hand.

Try for Kagayaki brand if you can find it. It's got a sweetness to it that is simply to die for—and a teaspoon of mirin in the steamer or pot while the rice cooks helps cohesion—and accentuates the delicate flavor of the rice.

Luckily, since the steamer pot is nonstick, once I let it dry and hit it with hot water again, it came right off. =D
