As much as I adore this quaint little town we call home, I do SO miss having at least a dozen diverse and GOOD restaurants at my fingertips. But, even still, having Milo in our lives, it's not like we'd be sitting in restaurants every day, or even every month...So, in the last couple of years or so, the husband and I have rolled up our sleeves, tossed the taco kit to the side and have attempted to COOK. Not just bake some chicken's thigh or breast and steam some broccoli heads, but really get to know some different styles of cooking. We wanted to use those forgotten spices on the rack -again, push past the good 'ol salt and pepper and garlic and basil -and get to know curry powder, garam masala, cloves, and coriander. We (mostly the husb) have been pretty successful at our attempts of making dinners we would easily pay $25 per plate for...
But the real challenge still lurked before us: SUSHI. We easily gathered up most of the essentials: avocado, cucumber, imitation crab, shrimp, rice, nori...
And after several stores we finally found the bamboo mat (thank you Whole Foods!). But to find sushi grade salmon? NO MAS. That broke my heart. But we had enough to make some yum-tastic rolls anyhow...
patting out the rice on the nori
adding a crab stick, shrimp, avocado, carrot, cucumber and green onion
roooolll it, paaaat it...
slice it up!
and serve with soy sauce (low sodium, of course!)
Yum-licious!
