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.

Cooked salmon is good. :-P

Cooked salmon is fairly yummy (though I prefer raw or smoked (mmmm on Irish brown bread with capers and a spritz of lemon!)), just not as sushi! :)

Mmmm. Sounds good.

I'm not into raw fish, at least not until I know how to do it right, and see if I like it done professionally first.

I love raw fish, though I'm pretty pedestrian in my favorite fishies: toro (fatty tuna belly, so good), maguro (tuna), hamachi (yellow tail), and sake (fresh salmon). mmmmm.

Wednesday looks like Korean BBQ for lunch, but tomorrow is wide open. I sense the possiblity of impending sushi.

I will eventually try some, someday.

Mmmm, and indeed, I ended up at Masa's having sushi for lunch. Yum. :)

It is totally worth trying. Though maybe a little closer to water... :)

Heh. Yeah. Arizona is too landlocked for our taste.

I tried some at the one place on 35th and Olive, which has it on the buffet. Mmmm tasty. Very smooth and subtle.
