mochi ice cream cake

Last week as I was making Rosie’s requested birthday dinner, I did the thing I often do: I made some very strange mistakes. At first, years back, it seemed like a fluke. Maybe I was tripling a recipe when I shouldn’t have, or (as usual), I was crushing under a time pressure. But at this point it’s…
