It just sits on my counter...I probably should refrigerate, though. It's never been a problem, though. It's there for a couple days, 3 at most.

well, this must be a scene from the movie, Being There :tongue:

you're too late! My props are starting to dissolve... and I"m forgetting those ummon koans which I could recite so faithfully.

The essence of the rice cake story is about drinking tea or the pages from Amazon about the tea.... just as you imagined. :namaste: you nailed it bokki.

I'll add my edit from last post.... I read today about a man who requested a bible as his last meal before execution. he ate the whole thing. Sink into that heart opening.
