Date Night!

Date night continues! We learned to make California Rolls! They were so yummy, and weren't that hard to make at all. We did make way too much, oh man were they good though. You definitely need to try them. Find some sushi rice, you can't use regular rice and follow the directions on the package. We looked up a couple of recipes off the Internet which also had video, and step by step instructions (which I need). Get some Nori sheets, dried seaweed, Walmart even carries them. Then decide what you want to put in them. We used imitation crab, avocado and cucumber for our fillings. I almost forgot, you need this really cool bamboo mat to help roll them. One of the websites said you can use a towel, but we were lucky some friends had one that we could borrow. If you find one, be sure to wrap it in plastic wrap, so nothing sticks to it. We found a great soy sauce called Ponzu, it's kind of citrusy and even some pickled ginger and wasabi. We will be making these again! We watched "The secret life of Bees" which was good, a little intense for a romantic date night but it was good. Sean and I are really enjoying opportunities to make time for each other. Life gets pretty busy at times.
