Yum!<br /><br />Crystal, thanks! Making the sushi was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. Let me know if you need any tips -- I have loads.<br /><br />Thanks, Michelle!<br /><br />Courtney, Freedom, and Johanna, thanks!<br /><br />Crystal, it was an odd Christmas -- it just felt more like a day off, as opposed to a holiday. Oh well! Mac and Cheese does make just about anything better, though!<br /><br />Tania, I got my rolling mat at work, but you could probably find them at an Asian market or maybe even Pier One or World Market?<br /><br />Harmonia, welcome back to blogdom! I'd be happy to help you with vegan sushi -- let me know if you need some tips!<br /><br />Nikki, I didn't need to do anything to my nori before I used it, because I bought pre-toasted nori. One of my coworkers told me you can toast it briefly (over your burner, while holding it with a pair of tongs,) if it's brittle, but mine was plenty pliable, especially when I patted the slightly warm rice over it.<br /><br />Michelle, this was my first foray into the world of sushi -- I had never eaten it before, either! It was pretty good -- the avocado roll was my favorite.Catherine Weberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05840408638057727714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195595.post-55833695683750131232007-01-05T16:27:00.000-06:002007-01-05T16:27:00.000-06:00wow, that sushi looks good. can you believe i've ...wow, that sushi looks good. can you believe i've never tasted sushi before, let alone try to make it?!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02572397449405195846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195595.post-61841581849453897312007-01-05T10:31:00.000-06:002007-01-05T10:31:00.000-06:00Your sushi looks professional!

Okay, ...Your sushi looks professional! Bravo! :)<br /><br />Okay, I could probably just look it up, but do you soak the nori first? I have oodles of nori and it is quite brittle. I'm not well versed in the ways of sushi or sea vegetables.Nikkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05249699369711350995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195595.post-4375187634167008562007-01-03T20:55:00.000-06:002007-01-03T20:55:00.000-06:00Everything looks great...swing by my house and hel...Everything looks great...swing by my house and helpme with vegan sushi! lol<br /><br />I'm back bloggin'Harmoniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09005561900381062963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11195595.post-75559020242308202232007-01-03T13:54:00.000-06:002007-01-03T13:54:00.000-06:00Oh man, I have been wanting to make sushi for so l...Oh man, I have been wanting to make sushi for so long!
