Mango Tuna Tango

[HDR-IMG]

Since I posted here last, two weeks ago, life has been crazy. I went to an amazing dinner for my brother’s cancer center where he got honored (I wish I had been able to document the food there! I think that might have been just a little tacky though, so I didn’t.), I graduated (yay!), I performed in and helped run a show with my old dance school (busy busy busy!) and I’ve moved almost everything into my new apartment. Not to mention making new friends, saying goodbye (but not forever) to old friends, and getting to know other friends better. Unfortunately, all of this does not make for very much time to make sushi, especially when my entire kitchen is in boxes.

Thus begins a new chapter in my life. With such a big change in my life, I’ve got to celebrate with some awesome sushi, right? This recipe truly is amazing. The other day we got a mango from Son’s mom, and out of the blue I exclaimed, “Mango and tuna sushi… with Sriracha… wouldn’t that tast so good?” Son looked at me like I was a maniac of course, but just try it. You’ll see that I was right, in the same way that Son did when he tried this sushi. So. Good.
