This happened some time in March. Always the classy Jew, I found a 50% off sushi kit at Wegman's, which included everything: bamboo roller, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, wasabi, and sushi rice. It was quite the bargain. For sushi roll ingredients, we had: smoked salmon, cucumber, crab stick, cream cheese, avocado, and asparagus. Lots of experimenting and taste-testing later, Blonde and I created this beautiful masterpiece:
And we proceeded to eat it all without anyone knowing! Till was masterful and instrumental in helping to produce perfect sushi rice thanks to her rice cooker. LBJ, Ten, and Donkey did a great job of serving up sake bombs and allowing us to sample a few varieties of sake. Fist and Lover Cindy brought over key items like extra seaweed wraps, chopsticks, and green tea ice cream. Ho'Con was in charge of the apps - including edamame dip and tempura (sooo goood). In the end, Ho'Con, Fist, and I had a little fun with the tempura batter and hot oil. We fried anything we could get our hands on, including: bananas, pickles, cheese, hotdogs, swedish fish, and nutter butters. My favorite part of the night was when Fist insisted that we could make fried ice cream the same way. She proceeded to pull out the green tea ice cream, drop it in the tempura batter, dip it into the hot oil, and allow it to melt away. Gross. More pictures and more fun next time.
