Making Mochi.

Last weekend the 9th graders made these traditional Japanese rice cakes called "mochi," which, to put it briefly, involves pounding a lot of rice with a heavy mallet (as seen above).

Then you press and roll and press and roll and press and roll...

...and you have mochi. (This is my co-worker, by the way). Yummy!
