  1. Hi Ellena! Such a fun and exciting event you are creating EVERY MONTH! You know I see you are a mother and it's amazing how energetic person you are! Totally impressed by your work all the time. By the way, my friend has a mushipan recipe and she said we should cook together. So I'll write down on a memo and will let you know (if succeeded maybe it might appear on my site - we'll see).
