Pretty food tastes better.

This was a very twenty-something weekend for me, complete with home-made sushi and Knocked Up. (Pretty good, on both accounts.)

It feels rather demographically stereotypical, but husband and I have decided that we really like sushi. He even likes it enough to watch some youtube videos, make a few trips to the store, andĀ make someĀ himself.

Making sushi...

And the results?

...And eating it.

Well, let’s just say that the brother who lived in Japan for a year gave it two thumbs up. :)

    Well done, I really would like to eat sushi now. Homemade would make it even better…hmmm.

    Lish, I saw your photos - looks like yours was a little more gourmet than ours. :)

    Marian, ours had some kind of tuna, cucumber, carrot, red and yellow peppers, and tiny pieces of fresh ginger. I picked up some new sauces and wasabi at the Korean market but they were in your car, so we haven’t gotten to try them yet. We should have a sushi party sometime…

    or maybe i just wish they would remind me of somebody, since i like them, even though they just aren’t garish enough for my kitchen…

    Mmm, I would definitely take any of those and I think it’s a compliment that they remind you of me! Would you buy them if they were bright pink and plastic?
