Sushi

Mike had a sort of business dinner Wednesday night and in the afternoon he asked me to try to find a sitter and I could join them and maybe they would go to a sushi place. As it turned out I couldn't get a sitter at the last minute so I stayed in, but I had sushi in my head and decided to try making it at home. I am notorious for seeing interesting recipes on the Internet, saving them to my phone, buying some of the ingredients, but then totally forgetting about them. Months ago I saved a recipe for quinoa sushi so I found the seaweed sheets and the bamboo thingy to make the rolls with, but I never actually got around to making it. Thankfully yesterday was Thursday, the day the organic store sells fresh fish, and I had been in town for the IWAK coffee morning and had bought some salmon. Sometimes if I get there too late they have run out, but this morning they had a nice big piece of poledwica ( polenveetsa) left. I also happened to have a nice ripe avocado at home, and Ava just happened to have made sushi in her cooking class last week so she showed me what to do. I was pretty impressed with my first attempt, I left out the fish so she could try it but after one bite she ran into the bathroom and spit it into the toilet. I added the salmon to my second roll but it did not hold up as nicely as the first and completely fell apart when I tried to cut it up into pieces. Oh well, it was very tasty so I'll have to make it some night for dinner with miso soup and edamame (the only thing that Jack will eat!)
