Sushi, anyone?

Alright, I'm starting to make some headway and am actually understanding some of the code that had me stumped. As you can see, my very plain but totally customized banner is finally up. Now I just need to delete some extraneous info and rearrange a few things...

I hate to continue to bore you with my computer unsavvy-ness, so I've included a photo of our Friday night meal. Yes, every Friday I make sushi. From scratch!! Granted, I buy the fish and merely slice 'em up for the nigiri (the ones with the raw fish resting on little rice balls), so maybe "from scratch" makes it sound too grandiose. The California rolls, however, require some manual labor and are not the easiest things to make. But they are definitely fun to roll.

I've discovered that making sushi at home is surprisingly unstressful and cost-effective. For 1/3 of the price of going to a restaurant, I can get great raw fish (tuna, yellowtail, salmon) and other assorted sushi ingredients (grilled eal, marinated mackarel, imitation crab) from Uwajimaya, our local Asian market. It does take a couple of hours to make, but I've been doing the sushi thing for about 4 months now and I'm getting faster at rolling and slicing. And really, what could be better than edamame and sushi on Friday nights?
