For some time now, Hazel has been wanting so much to try, as she calls it, shushi. This past weekend I decided I was going to take her. Here is our story........
First, I have a new found love for Hamachi, so this was taste test #1. We prepared it by using our chop sticks to put the fish down on our plates, we then sprinkled it with sea salt and put a very thin lemon slice on top. At first taste, it seemed as though Hazel really liked it. I even asked her and she said yes, she liked it.....then she proceeded to spit some of it out.....hmmmm.....
This slightly tempured sushi roll has yellow tail, salmon, fish eggs, cucumber.
This is the non-fish lovers sushi roll. It is a slightly tempured veggie roll with sweet potato, avocado, cucumber.....
Tasting........

Hmmmmm......I think that says it. She did like the fish and the fillings, but Haze is not a lover of rice, which poses a problem when endulging in sushi.
At the end of the meal two important things were settled.....one, we had a really fun time; two, that was an expensive experiment.........maybe when she's 18 we will try again.
Let me end this post with this handsome man. My brother, his wife Wendy and I all really enjoy Nathaniel Rateliff's music. He has a back country (not country music), rock and folk kind of feel; very calm and soothing. We first saw him this year when he opened for Mumford and Son's and fell in love. I saw that he was coming again to open for Michael Kiwanuka*, so, my sisters, their husbands and I bought CJ and Wendy tickets to the show for my brother's birthday.....and of course I bought myself one too.
Definitely worth it! He was acoustic and sounded amazing. Best of all, we were able to shake hands with this maker of fabulous music. Then....
I flipped the picture (to hopefully get a better angle of myself, I am not photogenic), cut my brother out, and......aren't we cute together, Nathaniel and I?.......(still a bad picture of me, but I will settle).
