sushi, two more days
Wednesday, May 25, 2005 at 10:26AM
Two more days until we get our house. We've arranged to get the keys from the current owner around noon on Friday.
Decided to make sushi last night for dinner: norimaki this time (rolled sushi), with a filling of smoked salmon, cooked egg, cucumber. Side dishes: sunomono cucumber salad, miso soup. Yum. I wanted to add avocado to the norimake filling, but none of the avocados in the market were ripe enough. Next time I'll have to plan ahead and buy one to ripen at home.
Making sushi used to be a major chore I'd only do every couple of years, but I've found that using less time-consuming fillings makes it a more convenient meal. I like varying the ingredients each time to experiment with colours, textures, and flavours. Another added convenience is that many of the ingredients (including the nori sheets and bamboo rolling mats) can be found in big supermarkets like Dominion (!).
48 hours.
