sushi !

What a picture.  My Granddaughter's Ashlley and Vanesa and Manny took the challenge and made all of the dishes you see.  I am not kidding.  Let me tell you they did a fantastic job and dinner was delicious !  It was there first time of making it and let me tell you as far as I am concerned they are all experts.  They have decided to do this once a month.  How lucky are we to get in on this.  Never would I have thought I would love Sushi like I do.  Jim too !  You just have to have an open mind and think about what you love to eat in the fish department and go from there.  Not all Sushi is raw fish.  Some are, of course but believe me there are many different choices.  For an example....  I love crab, lobster, shrimp and most any kind of fish along with avocado, cucumber, cream cheese just to name a few things.  Well all of that is in Sushi and to watch them adding all the ingredients then roll it up, well, it's amazing.  The sauces they put on top are so delicious.  There is this one sauce which Jim and I love.  I would describe it like soy sauce but thicker and sweeter.  We love it.  Then we found out what it's called.....Eel Sauce !  I would have never guessed that.  Now I don't know if there is Eel in the sauce or what, all I know is It's delicious.  I'll be honest I don't really like the raw fish but give me shrimp, avocado, rice, ginger rolled up with seaweed and eel sauce on top and you had me at shrimp.  I love it.  You saute the shrimp and some even has deep fried shrimp at each end of the roll.  You see ? You just need an open mind and someone to guide you through the process of trying new and different cultures.  I'm so glad my Granddaughter introduced Jim and I.  Hey, you are never too old to try new things.  Tootles
