When I got up today, I found that I hadn’t eaten glutinous rice balls for a long time. Because I think making glutinous rice balls is more fun than just buying them, I went to the grocery store and bought glutinous rice flour in the afternoon. I haven’t bought the fillings yet because I don’t know which one is better, black sesame paste or red bean paste. If let me choose, I prefer black sesame paste, but the price of black sesame is expensive, not as cheap as red bean paste. So I want to see if there is any alternative. I found that the store also sells black sesame powder, and not as expensive as black sesame paste. But the problem is that I don’t know if black sesame powder can be used instead of black sesame paste. In short, I only bought glutinous rice flour. I plan to go to the store to buy black sesame paste or black sesame powder tomorrow.


我今天起床的时候发现好久没吃汤圆了。因为我觉得自己做汤圆比买汤圆更好玩,所以下午我就去商店买了糯米粉。我还没有买汤圆馅料,因为我不知道黑芝麻糊和红豆沙哪个更好吃。如果让我选择的话,我觉得我更偏向黑芝麻糊。可是黑芝麻糊的价格太高了,没有红豆沙的便宜。于是我想看看有没有其他的可替代选项。我发现商店有卖黑芝麻粉的,没有黑芝麻糊那么贵。但问题是我不知道能否用黑芝麻粉代替黑芝麻糊。总之,我只买了糯米粉,明天我打算再去买黑芝麻糊或者黑芝麻粉。

Feedback

I actually buy whole black sesame seeds in bulk and I pay like $5 per pound, which I think is a pretty good deal. I’ve never had a rice ball in my life but I gotta say they sound pretty good.

Good job on the journal!

Thank you very much and I hope you have a chance to have rice balls. By the way, what does the “gotten” in the last sentence mean?

By ‘gotta’ I just mean ‘I’ve got to.’ It’s like a casual sounding contraction.
