Sushi School

What? You don't like sushi because you don't like raw fish? Well good because sushi actually means vinegar rice so you are in the clear! Jer and I love sushi so we decided to go to a class to learn how to make our favorite rolls. Takara sushi (Mmmmm...Takara sushi) offers a sweet sushi class on Monday afternoons and it was fantastic! They have the nicest chefs and it was so much fun! They teach you how to make the classic California roll and then you get to choose any of the rolls off of the menu to learn. AWESOME! We can't wait to make our own at home. So if you are feeling a little adventurous come on over for a night of sushi at the Young residence. You won't regret it!

My roll is the French Kiss and Jer's is the Crunch roll
French kiss: Tempura shrimp, cucumber, krab topped with lemon, salmon, avacado, eel sauce and spicy mayo
Crunch roll: Tempura shrimp, crab, cucumber, rolled in tempura cruchies and topped with eel sauce
Aren't they lovely?

Chef Kenny and Chef Bong were seriously nice! Thumbs up for sushi, that's right.
Shan, me and Jer. We're not too cool for sushi school!My rolls...they made us name them and all of my names were pretty lame. Apparently I am not very witty when put on the spot. One was something like "butterfly trail". Like I said, lame.
I think they were a little nevous about us wielding their super sharp blades.
Who is that handsome sushi maker? My hot hus-BAND! He was a pro at cutting the rolls. Turns out that cutting them is way harder than it looks. Chef Kenny told Jer that one of his roll placings looked like a serpent and he thought that was cool name. Much cooler than my butterfly something or other.
Shan made the Hungry roll and it was so super tasty.
