Homemade Sushi

August 17th, 2009 by Kiyu

ML showing how to roll the sushi.

It was a fine summer day 1-2 years ago that I tried sushi for the very first time in my life. I was convinced that I would love it. Why wouldn’t I, when I loved anything else Japan-related? I pushed away the horrible memories of earlier experiences with raw seafood (you’d be surprised at how weird Asians are), and deliberated for a very long time whether or not I would have the guts to chomp down some raw salmon wrapped in sticky rice. The sushi was trapped between my chopsticks for quite some time before I finally managed to take a bite and chew — and had to hurry to find somewhere to spit it out.

I can’t eat sushi, the consistency of the raw fish makes my stomach roll and churn, and always threatens to force my body to throw up my tummy contents. Not a pleasant feeling, and definitely not a pleasant sight. Sigh.

So I just watched ML and Phuc make the sushi yesterday.

The misshaped sushi.

Phuc and I also went out for a late movie at the local cinema last night. We watched The Proposal, which surpassed all my expectations! It’s no usual chick-flick, actually, I wouldn’t say it’s a chick-flick at all; it’s perfect for both genders with its genuine humor and small moments of compassion! It’s hilarious, but not in the brainless way, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it! The trailer does it no justice at all. I wholeheartedly recommend it!

Cales composed a beautiful song for my birthday (yes, he’s a pianist). I jokingly suggested the idea half a year ago or so, but I didn’t really think he’d actually do it. He was home for the weekend and I had him play it for me when I went down yesterday to pay him and Katrina a visit. Wish I hadn’t been too entranced by it, I would have gotten my phone out to record it and let you all hear!

    Sorry to hear that. I totally love sushi ><

    You wouldn't be able to have them do a minor "Recipe for Dummies" would you, with pictures, ingredients, types of fish (you get in Norway) and explanations? That would have been so insanely awesome, since I want to make sushi myself :3

      I’ll make sure to see to it! ;) But I think you’ll have to wait for it, ’cause we’re not making sushi until we can get a hold on HM who has been too busy with her boyfriend lately. She’s the pro one at making sushi in our gang :D
