In which I’m already planning dinner, and it’s not even lunchtime yet!
I’ve decided to brave that irritating, roo-infested store they call Everybody’s after work so I can buy ingredients for miso and sushi.
Because miso and sushi? Is what I’ve decided I want for dinner tonight. Mmm, sushi.
Maybe they’ll have soybeans for edamame.
I’ve printed out this sushi roll recipe because I think it’s adorable, what with all the pictures and all. I mean, it’s not exactly difficult to make sushi, but there are good ideas there.
As for the miso soup, my buddy Vuboq uses the liquor from reconstituting dried shiitakes in place of dashi, so I will too.
I’m going to put avocado, smoked tuna, and cream cheese in some of the rolls. Doesn’t that sound awesome?!
I might leave work a little early, to avoid as many roos as possible. Getting trapped in one of those narrow aisles with some campus lifer at either end is a kind of terrified I just don’t want to be today. Snort!
Here’s my shopping list:
sushi rice
rice vinegar
konbu
nori
dried shiitake
miso paste
tofu
pickles?
cream cheese
green onions
cucumber
avocado
mushrooms
soy sauce
wasabi
Then, when I get home, we are absolutely going to pig out on sushi. It’ll be so much fun!
If only there were somewhere in this God forsaken town to buy sake.

Had some sushi last night with dinner, myself. Wasn’t rockin’ sushi, but it was edible.
What, no pickled ginger?! I eat that stuff like candy.
I already have some at home! -m
yummm – avacado. cucumber. rice vinegar.
i think i gotta go get me some sushi now.
Awww… too bad I already did my shopping for the day – it would have been fun to trap you in the bulk foods aisle and learn new bad words! Bwahahahaha! 😉
That’s interesting that you use “konbu”. It’s very real. 🙂 though we don’t use cream cheese in traditional stuff but it goes great with Avocados. 🙂 Oh, I am getting hungry. Your shopping list is just like something that a lot of Japanese would pick on a daily basis. 🙂 You rock.
YOU rock! -m
Oh, darn. I guess I also did my shopping too early today. Next time, Tahmi, we’ll have to plan this better so we can trap her and not let her out ’til she agrees to make enough sushi & soup for all of us!;)
Youse bitches is EVIL. 😉 -m
Have you seen stickyrice.com? The rice recipe there is perfection.
mmm, sushi, mmm…
salmon and cream cheese go well too.
For the next time you make sushi: If you can’t find sake then substitute with tequila and enjoy a fiesta fit for a ninja.
Mmm. Tequila. -m
How’d the sushi turn out? By the way, you’ll be on the guest list for my next Sushipalooza. I don’t care if you’re miles and miles and miles away.
Sushipalooza?!??! It’s official, I do love you. -m
