Cooking stuff (temporarily inactive...)

 
You know, I'm at a keyboard all day. I thought journaling through a blog would be easier. Turns out I'm almost as neglectful here as with my traditional diary... If I can make entries closer than a month apart, it's progress.

Last Saturday night was SUSHI NIGHT! A big experiment beyond just California roll and other cooked alternatives. We did the real deal, ordering fish (salmon, yellow tail, tuna and mackerel) from a sushi place. We had a huge list of possible ingredients, and one of the best features of the night was everyone having the opportunity to invent and name their own rolls. J.T. and Dan had dueling sushi making stations facing each other and it was sushi ongoing for nearly 6 hours. And Dan was right - his wife Corinna is a sushi fiend! Even the non-sushi eaters didn't starve with home made veggie tempura, pot stickers, teriyaki chicken (though not exactly the teriyaki chicken Misty intended) and Chinese take-out (hey, it's Asian!)

I look forward to doing it again in the spring with our own menu and avocados that are in season! See my Cooking Stuff for our list of rolls. And the Bad Cat made away with the $$$...

The only disappointment was my cousin and her hubby couldn't join us - because they had their baby!!! I'm a proud new cousin! Doesn't sound as cool as being a "new aunt" or something, but cousin can be quite the important role. :) Taryn, born January 29 at 4:30am. I haven't seen her yet (I was sick!) but I have pictures and she is amazingly beautiful. Gorgeous. I didn't think babies were supposed to look so good newborn! Can't wait to visit!!!
