Today I had a craving for sushi. I wasn't in the mood for raw fish - I was in the mood for California rolls.
Halfway through making them I realized I didn't have a cucumber in the fridge. No matter - I really just wanted crab and avocado.
And I did have a whole container of sweet pickled ginger in the fridge.
I tend to make sushi rolls a lot. Check out this post for a step by step walkthrough.
I am happy to report that I did clean out my car. While it was not the pitch and toss task I had hoped for - 50% of it was easily tossed and the rest was a bunch of receipts and paperwork that just needed shredding.
And I did get some closet organizer items so my quest to become clutter free and organized is going well.
I would encourage everyone to try making sushi rolls at home. It is fairly easy (use half a nori sheet for small rolls) and much cheaper than going out to a restaurant.
Oh, yeah, Connor got a few pieces of avocado and Abby enjoyed the left over crab.
A wonderful Saturday lunch for all:-)
So I did a search on Yelp and found a sushi place near me that had good reviews.
I hate to be too judgemental because any restaurant can have an off day - but the thing that first stood out was that the avocacdo in the california roll was brown...
This is not a good sign.
And the salad was drenched in a heavy/creamy dressing that was just a bit too much.
And the biggest disappointment was the miso soup.
I love miso soup. It is salty and savory with seaweed and all things I love.
This one tasted like they reheated the miso soup left over from last night dinner and dumped in a bunch of water - not good...
The high point was the tuna roll.
And, yes, I did take most of it home and Abby got to enjoy a couple of the tuna rolls - Connor enjoyed the cucumber rolls - he is odd like that:-)
