Plum Wine and Sushi

So I was making a fun Asian inspired meal the other night for my hubby to BBQ (was still bloomin' HOT) and I got to thinking of how hard he must've worked in that 100+ degree day in the construction industry....and I thought I'd make him a little extra special item: SUSHI!!!!! Now, usually he is the sushi chef in the home...I can't take him out, or he'll order more than $75.00 in sushi all by his lonesome!! So he's learned to make do and mend his own sushi collection. I just happened to have some leftover Dungeness Crab from a trip in the Islands the past weekend....so I figured it would be heavenly with a bit of rice, nori, and CREAM CHEESE!!! Cream cheese makes everything heavenly...or so I figure. How could I go wrong? So, I went for it! I must say, I could've done a whole lot worse for my first try going solo!!! What do you think?





I've assembled all the right ingredients...let's get cooking!














I've assembled the right tools...now I just need to tie a bandana around my head and yell "yashimoseah" at least that's how it sounds anyway!






Ahhhh the finished product, so delicious and tasty. Worth all the effort! Just wish I had some plum wine to go with it...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......







After all that work...seriously, don't you wish that making plum wine was this easy? Now I have to go out and help pick all these little lush yummies...they are ripening like crazy!!!

  1. We may just have to set a date for a cooking class. I really NEED to learn how to cook Asian before my son gets home. Right now it's just Orange Chicken from Trader Joes and rice noodles. Gavin may want a little more variety. How's the shop? I was in the other day and your were in busy in the back so I didn't want to bug you. Hope all is well;)

  2. Oooooh a cooking class would be lovely! I love watching people cook and then let me eat it!!! Don't knock Trader Joes! I love their chicken fried rice!!! I think Gavin will have culture shock no matter what, whether it's Kraft macaroni and cheese or kung pao chicken...the most important thing is that he'll have a family who loves and adores him! You guys will woo him over so quickly, he'll be happy to eat crackers, er uh...fortune cookies?
