We've been lucky to make some great, new friends in the last year, all
of whom share my enthusiasm for a fine meal. When my friend Katie
suggested we make sushi together sometime, I knew we would get along
just fine. So we got together one night to roll ourselves some sushi.
Katie and Glen prepared the sushi rice and the nori, and we used their
mats as well (I totally need my own!), and we all brought a wide variety
of fillings: smoked salmon, cucumber, shrimp, cream cheese, avocado,
sweet potato, carrots . . . and plenty more. They modeled
their rolling techniques for us, and soon we were pros. In the end, we
had way more than the 4 adults and 3 kids of us could ever eat, even
after stuffing ourselves to the max. Now my mind is reeling with
possibilities for fillings I can't wait to try!
(Of course after playing long and hard [putting every possible clip in her hair] with her friend Ada, this old soul was thrilled to chow down on some sushi.)

What a tease for a pregnant lady. (Though prob most of your fish wasn't raw?) How fun! I love Bria's mature palate.
ReplyDeleteI am reads your blog:). Yum, sushi. My brother makes sushi, and your blog post reminds me that I need to have him show me how to do it.
