This little piggy…

<p>Bacon. Anyone who knows me even the least bit knows that I adore bacon. Sometimes, a little too much. So why not put it in sushi? Seriously... <a href="http://sushiday.com/archives/2008/07/16/breakfast-roll/">bacon</a> <a href="http://sushiday.com/archives/2007/09/08/bacon-crunchy-shrimp-roll/">in</a> <a href="http://sushiday.com/archives/2007/08/26/kristen-maki/">sushi</a> <a href="http://sushiday.com/archives/2007/07/11/i-scream-cone-temaki/">is</a> <a href="http://sushiday.com/archives/2007/01/07/blt-maki/">amazing.</a> My family knows that if there's bacon in something, there's a good chance I'll eat it. (Gah! So bad for me, I know. Honestly, I'm working on the whole

To My Bloggers…

<p>Not long ago I was, quite frankly, an internet noob. Sure, I've used the internet for email and instant messaging since the '90s, but aside from researching for school papers, my internet use rarely went beyond that. Of course I was on MySpace and Facebook in high school and college - everyone was on such social networking sites, and that was often the best way to stay in touch with my friends

santa barbara roll

Santa Barbara Roll

Many things can happen in a year. A year ago, I was in Santa Barbara for my cousin’s wedding – one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever been to (and I’ve been to quite a few!) That was one of the only times I had ever been to Santa Barbara. A year ago,

Hotate Special, and More Randomness

I’ve gotten tagged with another “random things” meme, this time by Nicole from For the Love of Food. Of course, if you don’t want to know more randomness about me, you can always skip to the yummy Hotate Special recipes and pictures at the end of this post. 😀 Up until nine months ago, I

carburetor

Carburetor

Obviously, this roll is called “Carburetor” because it looks like one. What, you can’t see it? No, wait… look at it this way… turn your head just like this… see it now? No? Darn. Oh well, I can’t quite see it either. But I’d assume that’s why it’s named Carburetor. Meh, who knows. What do

Emily’s Roll

Who is Emily? In kindergarten, I had a friend named Emily who had the most beautiful long hair. She was astonished that I walked to and from school every day instead of driving. After kindergarten, she moved away. This is not that Emily. In elementary school, my mother used to baby sit my classmate Cathy’s

Spicy Shrimp Inari

<p>Although I have forever loved <a href="http://sushiday.com/archives/2006/11/11/inari-zushi/">inari sushi</a> in it's simplest form, I always look for delicious ideas to spruce up my old favorite. </p> <p>Several weeks ago, I was at Whole Foods and I needed something quick for lunch, so I stopped by the sushi section. (Yes, I eat store bought sushi. It's not <em>all</em> bad.) I bought a tray of inari sushi which had shrimp and spicy mayonnaise on

breakfast roll

Breakfast Roll

I can’t start my day without breakfast. I get cranky, and lightheaded, and, well, it’s not a pretty picture. For me, breakfast is undoubtedly the most important meal of the day (unlike some other people, who refuse to eat breakfast!) So, since certain people refuse to believe my diet consists of anything other than sushi,

bulgogi roll

Bulgogi Roll

Son and I love Korean food. He is sure to get the hot tofu soup (extra spicy!), and I never fail to get the bulgogi (BBQ beef). When the waiter comes out with a burning hot plate, the beef is smoking and onions are still sizzling. You can see the sugars in the onions caramelizing,
