Friday Night Jack and I, on a whim, decided to go for sushi at our favorite place, Ichiban. It’s on the way home from work, and close to a Kohl’s where we had some clothes shopping to do. Sushi is so wonderful. Somehow, we didn’t go overboard this time, each ordering a few Nigiri pieces and 1 roll each (I got a basic tuna roll and Jack got Salmon skin roll…yummm). With that in mind, I bring you some sushi links!
First some basics:
Japan Guide is a great source for Sushi information, as well as lots of other info about Japan.
A Sushi glossary.
Sushi etiquette.
Some Sushi nutrition info. (Not to be snobbish, but who needs cream cheese in their sushi anyway?)
A little bit on fugu, the deadly sushi.
Sushi Fun:
Sushi Fortune teller
Sushi trivia (I got 7 out of 10!)
Keaggy has a great Sushi desktop here.
Mock Sushi recipes:
Rice Krispie treat sushi.
Twinkie sushi.
Irish sushi?!?!
Sushi Stuff:
Wind-up sushi. ca-ute!
Sushi jewelry. fabulous!
Sushi candles, and more!
Enjoy! Domo arigato!

kitchen ambition
Although I have a food blog, I really don’t play around in the kitchen much. I’ve really had my eye on some recipes to try lately. Most of them look pretty easy and they all, of course, sound very tasty. They also, I think are perfect for winter.
Soups, I’ve mentioned before, are a winter must. I’ve never made a soup with fish before, but I bet it’s yummy. Also this winter, I’ve been wanting to incorporate sweet potatoes into my life, so I may try this weight watchers recipe. (more WW recipes here!) Cabbage is an old fave of mine, and it’s also ver nutritious, especially when it comes to winter illnesses. This recipe for cabbage soup includes 2 cups of ketchup, which kind of scares me, but I’m not totally ruling out giving it a try. Although this one looks more appealing to me.
Some new and exciting ways to cook Tofu, Cauliflower, and Chickpeas!
It may be wrong to use canned croissant dough to make baked Brie, but it seems so right.
I never knew you could make your own microwave popcorn until I saw Alton Brown do it last week! I love popcorn and this excites me more than it should.
And for dessert, I’ve been wanting to attempt Nigella’s Pavlova for a long time. It kind of scares me, though. I don’t think I have all the proper equipment for fluffing it up. Someday…..someday.
Had your eye on any recipes lately? Please share!
