Sushi!

One of the things I miss greatly is hanging out with friends back in California, and eating sushi! While planning to move to St Andrews, Christian George optimistically said, "We'll find somewhere for sushi." Well, there is one place in St Andrews that has it, but I think I would rather have cat food than their overpriced, infinitesimally small portions.

Now, when Heidi and I saw the Phantom of the Opera in London 2 months ago, she ate at Yo! Sushi (one of the conveyor belt places - still overpriced, however), and LOVED it!

So I have been plotting & scheming on how to bring sushi into the Sexton household. And last week, it happened! While visiting the St Andrews fishmonger, we learned that they sell everything needed to make sushi. This was all the encouragement I needed. We promptly bought the seaweed wraps, rice, wasabi, little dishes for soy sauce, rice mirin, vinegar, cucumber, avocado, carrots, some fresh sword fish and Scottish salmon... and Voilà! Sexton family Sushi! Heidi made the first two batches and I made the next two.

Here's what it looked like last week:
