Easier eaten than rolled

Morning! It's a rainy and chilly day here, and probably there, too, since I pursue me my audience hasn't gone viral yet, judging by the astounding count of zero subscribers. Where are my loyal confessions in bad taste readers, I fought hard for all seven of you.

Thursday's main course was a "easy sushi." Ha! Let me just say, technically, this is Maki because it is rolled, but more importantly Let me express my profound respect for a beautifully rolled maki. You will see from my pictures that it is easier said than done.

However lacking in aesthetic, my rolls were very tasty! I made a few different kinds: Guacamole and sun dried tomato, dried mushroom and sprouts, and zucchini with a cheddary cheese made from pine nuts.




I also made a lame attempt at artfully drizzling some wasabi sauce on the plate as a presentation element, but only succeeded in making the plate look sloppy. Live and learn. Any of these combinations would make a delicious wrap with some added greens or sprouts, and in fact I see a few lunches in the near future made from the leftovers. Until I have some better knife skills and perhaps a class in sushi prep, I will probably leave "easy sushi" to the experts.



In other news, I made a key lime smoothie on Thursday morning that was out of this world! 2 kiwis, a tablespoon of key lime juice, a pear, some ice, a little agave, and into the blender. Tart, tangy, and definitely a great wake-up cocktail to get you going!

Friday, in addition to an avocado Mousse that is out of this world! I made a winter veggie soup from green cabbage, leeks, sweet potato, carrots, celery, and some "chicken" bouillon. Boil, simmer, blend with a hand blender, add a package of frozen corn. Talk about satisfying comfort food, and healthy to boot!

See you in orbit!
