I’ve been freelance writing for a while now and one of (if not THE) tenets of writing of any kind is to pick a topic and just stay with it. Don’t go off on a tangent, don’t get distracted, just stick with one idea. Well, we all know how bad I am with that.

It’s kind of hard to believe that for a while there, I went off matcha. I remember I’d just bought a box of matcha, adzuki and mochi ice cream and was so excited to get into them and then WHAM.
