Sushi Bar




"Healthy menu.
It's my favorite Japanese meal.
Ooo, colorful art of the food.
It's a beautiful Japanese meal.
Sushi, sushi, sushi bar!
Going to a sushi bar!"
- Shonen Knife






Monday morning the boys and I headed over to a friends house for a beginners lesson on making sushi. While the boys entertained themselves (for the most part), I learned the secrets of sushi. From how to create the perfect rice, to rolling in-side-out rolls...the lesson was a success. When the seaweed and ingredients were gone, we all sat down for a delightful lunch.












The rolls we made were combinations of crab, salmon, avocado, carrots, red pepper, cucumber, and cream cheese. I was quite impressed with the outcome. I still need to practice the 'rolling' technique, some could have been rolled a little tighter.


We finally returned to the city at 1500...just in time to get the house ready for our Monday night Football/Superbowl party (thanks to Slingbox and TiVo)! We had a few friends over for burgers and beer, and some delicious s'mores for dessert.
