Emma wanted to have a sushi party...She wanted me to show her how to roll sushi. So, We organized our little sushi party at Emma's. I was excited. I knew Emma was O.C.D-ish cleaness person. I wanted to see how immaculately clean and tidy her house was...Oh, I'm sooooo nozy. And here it was. Her house was very nice, big and very clean tidy. I felt pleased...☺ Anyway, Maggie picked me up just after 7pm from outside my flat(She already picked Pauline up). I had a carrier bag full of stuffs(my knives, chopping boad, sushi matts, powdered wasabi,and hummous) and a box of my special sushi rice. I didn't want to make sushi rice with vinegar, dashi, and sugar. So I made it with lemon juice, zest, agave syrup and some veggie stock(cooked rice with). I've seen some people make with sherry vinegar too. Well, i wouldn't just make it like that myself, but I would use rasberry vinegar and honey to flavour rice. and make sushi quite herby. My sushi rice looked like this:
Yes, it looks yellow. Due to lemon zest and veggie stock made the rice yellow! Looks funky though. Smelt lovely too. If a Japanese person sees this, probably they think: "hey dude, what the f***k is that?" You know me, I don't give a shit, as long as taste yummy and look pretty, I get satisfied. Anyway, We managed to find Emma's house. it was dark, a cross on local church lit up in dark and somehow it reminded me of Exorcist. But, I must say, it wasn't as spooky as that. Just where my head was at that time. That'e all...☺ When we got there, Sylvia was already there. Sylvia, Emma and Emma's dog welcomed us. Very cozy. Cor blimy, Emma's got a funny dog. She was cute♥♥♥ I love when i speak to a dog, they tilt head a bit with ears up. And make a funny face. Emma's dog was certainly one of them. She likes to sleep in her own bed with a blanket.
She is a staffordshire bull terrier, yes, "dog with attitude". Especially towards another dog, they do have an attitude. But they are great dog as a family pet. Good with kids, and they love human company!
She was standing looking at me all the time while I was making sushi. Oh, she had funny face! ☺
Maggie wanted to have a go at making sushi. So I showed her how to roll sushi on sushi mat. We had hand-rolled sushi(Temaki-zushi). They are great for dinner parties and fun. First, cut nori sheet into 4 squares. Place one on to palm like daiamond shape♦, put rice, wasabi or wasabi hummous, pick some sherredded vegitables then roll lightly. Dip into soy sauce. And eat! I love veggie sushi. It's like a salad.
I didn't make our sushi mad. I quite often make mad veggie food. But this time I made it very simple and easy. This is marggie making sushi.
I forgot to take some pictures of our sushi...I was too bizzy making and eating...
Everyone enjoyed our sushi party. We left about 11.40pm, cor, that was really late for me. It was my night out! What a change! I used to go clubbing all night and carried on partying all weekend...sometimes carried on during the week....woke up with feeling sick and shite...those days are over! I enjoy my night out like this very much. Good company, good food and good drink(soft drink though) I don't mind doing more sushi party like this! It's a fun. Oh, by the way, I got loads of sushi rice left. I've been eating lots... made some sushi yeasterday and gave them to Karen. We went out shopping and coffee(and cake) in Newmarket. Actually, I was disapponted a piece of coffee cake I had. It wasn't coffee enough and dry for me. Coffee cake have to be bitter and sweet, moist and naughty. Oh, I forgot, Sylvia baked spiced cranberry cake for after. It was lovely cake. Creme Fraiche would've been nice to eat with also.
