Look Mom, we made Sushi!

I know it may seem like the recipes I try always come out great, that's not necessarily always true. I promise to put some stories of failed attempts and photos of burnt cookies or something soon, but not on this post. That's because this past Saturday we (myself, LoPo and CK) attempted a sushi making party and it was a huge success!

I guess it did help that CK's Mom made the sushi rice and CK also brought along enough gorgeous sushi fish to feed an army, from her sushi chef relative (thanks, again!). But what we did with it was amazing! We also loaded up on supplies (nori, sesame seeds, potsticker wrappers, rice vinegar, rooster sauce, etc) at my favorite little Asian market (appropriately named, "Asian Market"). With all the approriate ingredients and tools (a sharp knife is a must), making sushi was actually pretty easy and super fun.

When Sparky and Mo got home from their day skiing, we had a beautiful spread of sushi rolls, nigiri, sashimi and even homemade potstickers. We were all really impressed when we sat down and admired our work. And it tasted awesome, too.






Yes, we made all that sushi!
