Where You Smile, and Then You Nod.

I tried my hand at making sushi tonight. I looked up a recipe for the proportions of stuff, then while everyone else was out of the kitchen, I began humming happily to myself and putting sushi together. I stopped when I ran out of rice.

Then, I called votania into the kitchen in the break between episodes of Invader Zim.

"So, you think we have enough sushi?" I asked, pointing her towards the refrigerator, where the sushi was chilling, waiting upon being cut.

She looked. She smiled. She nodded.


I think we have at least seven logs in there. At least. I think we'll be cutting those into seven or eight pieces each...

That's a lot of sushi, if you're considering that there are two people in the household who eat it.

Well, three, if you count eris_raven.

There is such a thing as an Alaska roll?

Yeah, usually Salmon, Cucumber, and Cream Cheese. The local place near me makes them. They're not too bad, if you like salmon

[azurelunatic]

Mmmmm.

I probably made a few of those in my mixings of ingredients last night.

Alaska's home, you see.

Our salmon, in this case, was cooked.

*snicker* Obligatory Fan Question: Hm... I wonder what samlon sushi would taste like...

Raw Salmon is not that great actually. It's got this kind of slimy texture to it, and is surprisingly bland. It's really good with spicy mayonnaise (mayo + togarashi) sauce in a Spicy Salmon roll, or with Avacado, but the Nigiri form is not very appetizing. Usually, I stick to Tuna, Crab, and Octopus, since they are generally cheaper and have a better flavor to them.

Probably the best use of salmon that I saw was at a local place in a dish they called a Volcano Roll. It was essentially a Salmon, Avacado, and Spicy Mayo roll with another roll wrapped around it, in the shape of a beaker. At the top they put down a layer of Tuna with a haping amount of that spicy mayo. It was to die for ;)

Ooooh, interesting.

Now the Temple must investigate different forms of sushi...

Crap, is it Niven? Can't remember offhand. But no, not a typo.
