Simply Onigiri: fun and creative recipes for Japanese rice balls | Inada, Sanae

#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

I‘m behind on haikus but posting today‘s inspired by my dinner of 2 tuna onigiri, called musubi at the place I picked them up from. I looked & found that both are a rice ball but onigiri is the general Japanese term & musubi is a Hawaiian adaptation. So, all onigiri can be called musubi, but not all musubi are onigiri. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Rice Ball Riddle

All onigiri Can wear the name musubi, But not the reverse.

DebinHawaii …niche haiku yes, but food & food naming interests me. 🤷🏻‍♀️ If you want more detail: “Both musubi and onigiri refer to a Japanese rice ball, but onigiri is the general Japanese term, while musubi is a Hawaiian adaptation often featuring a block of rice with a topping like grilled Spam, wrapped in nori seaweed. So, all onigiri can be called musubi, but not all musubi are onigiri, as a musubi is a specific style of onigiri” 1d

TheBookHippie Oh how fun. I adore the sticky rice my friend from Taiwan makes. I wonder now if it has a name! 1d

JenlovesJT47 Intriguing! And it looks delicious 🤤♥️🤗 1d

Since this seems to be where we are as a country a new word seems appropriate. I wish it wasn‘t so. Although on a brighter note I keep hearing Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious in my head when I say it.

I love the flow of this word and how it‘s sound mimics its definition. Here are a few masters of mellifluence: Morgan Freeman, my beloved Alan Rickman 💔, James Earl Jones, and the luscious Matt McConnaughey!

Fall is here! The temperature is in the 70s, the sky is gray, the leaves are changing! I‘m so ready to go for a walk. 🍂🍁🍂

#WeirdWordWednesday @CBee #WeirdWords

CBee This is lovely. Fall is “supposed” to be here, but it‘s still in the heckin 90s today. Barf. 3d

Seabreeze_Reader In an odd sort of way, what a beautiful word! It sounds perfect for introverted nature lovers. 3d

Amiable The Germans always have a word for everything. And it‘s usually the exact perfect word. 3d

rebcamuse I love expressive German compounds—so efficient-“Wahlt-eye-n-zam-keit”—gets to the heart of the matter! Merits its own word for sure :-) 1d

Solipsism, solipsist, solipsistic. Say those words ten times fast 😂😂 Other tidbits: solipsism is also a term for a specific philosophy, a symptom of certain mental illnesses, and apparently can become a syndrome after periods of extreme isolation. And yes, this is Narcissus. The two are different but I thought it was close enough 😁 #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

TheBookHippie 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I do not understand selfishness. @AmyG 3d

ImperfectCJ @TheBookHippie I understand it on a basic level, but those who accept it and even embrace it as a way to run a business or, say, govern a country, rather than seeing it as something to fight against in themselves...that's what I don't get. 3d

TheBookHippie @ImperfectCJ well stated. 3d

AmyG Exactly @ImperfectCJ 3d

AnnCrystal
Perfect word for this chaotic world 👏🏼☺️👍🏼💝. (edited) 3d

CBee @ImperfectCJ agreed 👍🏻 3d

Seabreeze_Reader Partially because of what's going on in the US, this 'me-myself-and I' philosophy is becoming normalized, along with a lack of compassion. This is also disturbing, as I personally see this as an issue within neighborhoods. No wonder some people feel marginalized or bullied and businesses/non-profits cannot retain dependable and talented staff/volunteers for the longterm. (edited) 3d

dabbe 🧡🎯🧡 3d

BookmarkTavern I work with a couple people like this! 🫣 3d

CBee @Seabreeze_Reader it‘s very disturbing, I agree. I‘ve had more grumpy driver encounters than ever just in the past week. It‘s a bit scary. It‘s almost as if people now have “permission” to bully and spew hate. 3d

Seabreeze_Reader Well said @Cbee. 😣 Now the rest of us need to find a way to stop the rampant solipsism (although I probably mean narcissism) from eroding away our own sense of hopefulness and empathy toward others. {{{Hugs to everyone here.}}} (edited) 3d

CBee @Seabreeze_Reader yes! Lots of hugs to you as well 💚💚💚 3d

CBee @BookmarkTavern oh UGH I am so sorry!! 3d

#weirdwordwednesday @CBee

Oh, how true this allusion is.

CBee Love it!! 1w

lil1inblue 😅 😂 😭 🙃 Ok, the marijuana dispensary one cracks me up. When Michigan legalized recreational marijuana, there were several towns in my area that got all NIMBY and banned dispensaries. After the first year, the cities and townships with dispensaries got their allotment of the tax money, and suddenly the NIMBY attitude disappeared and all the bans were overturned. 😂 1w

dabbe @CBee TY! 🧡💜💛 1w

@Amiable I‘ve been waiting for Wednesday! Thanks for putting this word in my atmosphere. Sadly, it‘s a frequent state of being for me these days. #weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday

julieclair Love this word! I use it all the time. Especially lately. (edited) 1w

Amiable Feeling agita definitely causes heartburn! 😖It‘s a very descriptive word. Thank you, Italy! 😀 (edited) 1w

CBee @Amiable which sucks if you already have heartburn, which I do 😂🤪 1w

CBee @julieclair it‘s more appropriate lately, for sure 😬 1w

Amiable @CBee It‘s like the chicken-or-egg. Which came first, the agita or the acid reflux? These days it‘s impossible to know for sure. 😖 1w

CBee @Amiable ha! At this point I can‘t remember not having both 🤪🤦‍♀️ 1w

dabbe @CBee @Amiable Boy, ain't that the truth? GERD, anyone? Ugh. Prilosec has been a best bud for years! This word sounds so pretty out loud, like it should be someone's name in a song! Its meaning, though ... 😱 1w

CBee @dabbe hello, fellow GERD sufferer. I hate that you‘re in this club too 😬 1w

dabbe @CBee Another thing we have in common! Though we wish we weren't alike on this one! 💛💜🧡 1w

AnnCrystal Brilliant word for these stressful days 💝🫂💝. 1w
