A First Attempt

So Emily & I decided to try our hand at sushi rolling last Wednesday... and here are the (not so pretty) results. At least we tried, right? I'm sure we'll get better with practice.

We also had edamame courtesty of the local Sam's Club. Each Wednesday our own group of new Navy wives gets together for lunch, chatting, and other such fun things. Unfortunately this past week only Emily and I were able to make it (which might have been a good thing judging by how floppy our rolls look...). Next week is Chinese!
*Disclaimer: Sushi is harder to make than it looks! Now I know why they charge buckoo bucks at the sushi restaurants-it's hard to get everything to stick together and turn out round-ish! Hopefully we will be able to get good enough soon to try the rice on the outside kind! (fingers crossed!)*

Daniel and I LOVE sushi. It is sooo very expensive to buy in Australia, so we often make it ourself. I find it is actually easier to roll nice sushi with rice on the outside. You just have to be sure your rice is sticky and firm, but you put a fine layer of that down first, then the Nori (seaweed), and ten your goodies. It also makes it easier to mould into the right shape!

Speaking of Sushi, Katelyn ordered the California rolls at the Samurai restaurant in St. George, thinking they were dinner rolls. When they brought out 6 little sushi rolls, she about gagged! I'm glad you're able to get together with the wives and have fun =)
