Sushi made with tilapia and topped with exciting things

So a little while back, Drew and I went to a local Asian grocery store that specialized in Japanese products. I wanted some sushi-grade fish, and being poor/cheap, decided to go with some tilapia. I already had some regular tilapia in my freezer, so I figured they could keep each other company. I recently impulse-bought [...]

Festive Holiday Sushi using Crab and Other Delicious Items

So I feel like any social gathering where you’re supposed to bring some food is now an excuse for me to make sushi. I really want to practice making intricate and interesting sushi varieties, but it can be hard to convince myself to do that when the only ones who will be eating said sushi [...]

Sushi Katsu and other random delicious locales

So today is my birthday. Meaning, I had a very good excuse to stuff my face. Meaning that sushi was pretty much a requirement for today. I am a sucker for being able to eat like a vacuum cleaner without having to worry about the increasing amount of the bill. Well, assuming vacuum cleaners eat, [...]

Delicious Bacon Sushi! (Part 2)

So a little while ago, I applied for a part-time position as a sushi apprentice. Or, more specifically, a sushi apprentice at a sushi bar in a giant nightclub in a giant stone church. Talk about the best job ever. Well, best job ever for someone else, as I did not get the position. Hooray [...]

Delicious Bacon Sushi! (Part 1)

I came up with the idea of making bacon sushi a little while back, and once the idea was there, I could not get it out of my mind. It seemed like such a fabulous idea. How convenient that bacon was on sale at Safeway recently (2 for 1 packs of Jimmy Dean!). We got [...]

Sushi Made With Canned Tuna Fish

So I’ve got two conflicting factors in my life right now: 1.) I love sushi, and 2.) I am underemployed. The latter means that, in order to make really awesome sushi with the sort of fishes I really like, I’d need to spend more money then I feel comfortable spending on a regular basis. Thus, [...]

$2 Futomaki Rolls from the Seoul Oriental Grocery Market

So, I’m a bit poor right now. I can only blame this fact on that whole “not having a job” thing. Being poor comes in direct conflict with the fact that I really enjoy eating sushi as frequently as possible. And while sushi isn’t the most expensive thing out there, it’s not exactly the cheapest, [...]

My best sushi yet, featuring mackerel, egg, and a host of veggies!

I really like sushi. And when I start craving sushi, I must quench the maddening thirst! Quite unfortunately, eating sushi only makes me want to eat more sushi. It all started when Drew and I decided it was high time we visited the new sushi place over in Carytown, Momotaru Sushi. Lunch was delicious and [...]

Delicious Unagi Sushi and More!

I love eel so bad (unagi for those of you in the know). It is filled with the sort of moistness and deliciousness that only eels can possess. Eels are the sort of fishes that like to squirm their way into your mouth and slide down your throat right into your warm belly, and you’re [...]

Sushi Fun Times

Hey look! I made real sushi! Not lazy sushi! Yay!
I totally have the wrong type of rice. The sweet rice was right by the short grain rice at the store, and I was all like ‘Hey! Instead of getting the rice I’m supposed to get, I’ll get the one right beside it instead!’. So I [...]
