Elizabeth Unruh ~ Where life unfolds in unexpected ways.: January 2013

Last year I discovered the wonders of sushi. I have never been a big fan of Asian cuisine, but I also make a point of trying new things. I loved it! I also discovered the incredibly hot deliciousness of wasabi. Being able to feel every sinus in your head as the heat floods through is also quite the experience. Since eating out is a treat, and sushi is one of the pricier items in our little town, I decided to attempt making it. I did have to purchase a specialty tool; fortunately the $2.98 bamboo mat didn’t break the budget. So thanks to my new tool, a few special ingredients, and several YouTube tutorials, I made sushi. It was delicious! It was not very hard, and you can put any combination of fillings that strike your fancy. The favorite combo of this first attempt consisted of smoked salmon, avocado, and cream cheese; delicious! With the new year here and chugging along, it is nice to have one new thing already marked off my “To Do/To Learn” list.
