Adventures in the Kitchen

 Mom's famous rainbow jello for Thanksgiving dinner! Twelve layers of scrumptiousness!

My first attempt at a loaf of white bread.

 Yes, I made sushi!! I made two rolls with imitation crab, carrot, and pickled ginger and then two rolls with egg, carrot, and pickled ginger. I learned a lot after making this batch: 1. Using multiple colors in a roll adds to its appeal. (These rolls definitely needed something green!) 2. You need to gently pat down the rice before you add the fillings so that the rice is smooth and even. 3. I need to learn how to make rolls so that the filling doesn't fall out of either end. 4. I need to learn how to make the rolls smaller and tighter.

I have a long way to go in perfecting this art, but I feel like this was a good start. After eating Brent's mom's sushi and going out to some good and bad restaurants, I can now at least tell the difference between good and bad sushi (it was all the same to me before).  Brent's mom says the best way to learn to make good sushi is to eat good sushi, so she says Brent needs to take me out to expensive sushi restaurants. ;-)
