Sushiday.com is all about sushi. My recipes vary from the most traditional sushi to the craziest off-the-wall combinations. Every week I will post new sushi recipes that I have made, as well as sushi restaurant reviews, sushi tutorials, and other sushi-related randomness. Every day is a sushi day!

Once again, it’s time for Taste and Create. This month, I was paired up with Finger Licking Food. Last week, I made her Macaroni and Cheese with a Twist for the A Taste of Yellow event, (which, by the way, is so good I made it three times in a week! I never make a dish that often. Seriously, it’s amazing!). Anyways, I decided to make her Banana Latte Smoothie for Taste and Create.

It’s 1999. I’m 12 years old. Just like every other morning, I get up and pour myself a bowl of cereal, before heading to another day of 7th grade. But this morning is not like every other morning. I’m sitting at the dining-room table with my little sister eating breakfast. My dad isn’t there, but he usually goes to work pretty early. My brother isn’t there, but he’s a “late-bird” in his first-grade class, so he doesn’t have to be up for another hour. There was no way to know that this wasn’t another normal day in the life of a twelve-year old.

Unfortunately, it’s not like any other day. My mom comes and sits at the table. “You might have noticed that your brother and dad aren’t here. The doctor called last night and told us that your brother’s blood tests came back, and he had to go to the hospital right away. They think he might have leukemia.” Wow. What do you do when you hear that sort of news?

So simple, and yet so good. This is definitely the most basic type of sushi, and the most common one seen in media, sushi bars, and anywhere else sushi or pictures of sushi might be found. Not surprisingly this is what most people thing of when they think of sushi.

Yeah, I know… don’t ask. I have absolutely no clue why this is called the New York Roll! If anyone has any idea of the origin of the name, or any suggestions for a roll better desering of the name, please share!

A few hours ago, Yahoo! launched a new project called Shine. This is pretty exciting for both me and you, because Shine is a blogging platform, and they have a category to blog about food! This is great for promoting your own blog or blogging about stuff that you wouldn’t normally put on your blog (like for me, I can post all sorts of non-sushi stuff!), especially because it gets to a potential audience of millions! Although there are still a few kinks they have to iron out, it’s pretty cool! I was pretty lucky, because through my connections, I got to get in early and start blogging a little over a week ago. You can go check out my blog on Shine, here! Some of the posts are from Sushi Day, but there are some new ones on there that won’t be on here, so go check it out!

Gosh, where is all the time going? I could swear I just posted the last Taste and Create… and then yesterday I realize that I only have a couple of days left until the deadline for this one! What happened? Oh yeah… big papers, finals… oh boy. Well, luckily I did remember in time! Just a hop and a skip over to Tami’s blog, Running With Tweezers and… dang. Another setback. Well, not really a huge setback, but I couldn’t decide what to make!

(Yes, I do actually talk like that. What? I don’t like to cuss. )

I just found out that for some reason, Google Checkout (what I use to sell my Sushi Day shirts) won’t let people select locations outside of the United States to ship to. Yeah. That’s a problem. Especially because I know quite a few of you are from outside of the U.S.! Oi.

Hot hot hot! This is another spicy tuna roll, but it gets it’s heat from a completely different source. Instead of the Sriracha sauce that is in normal spicy tuna rolls, this one has a jalapeno as one of it’s fillings. Even though it has cream cheese to soothe your taste buds… it really doesn’t help much. Or so I hear. To be honest, I made Son try this one, and I didn’t even have a bite! If I had, I guarantee I would have been running around the kitchen with tears running down my face. Those of you who are like me and not huge spicy fans… yeah you, you know who you are!… this one isn’t for you. However the rest of you who adore spicy foods… yes I know you know who you are too!… you will love this!

Tuna tuna tuna… so many tuna sushi recipes lately! What? I’m catching up for the entire year that I didn’t use any sashimi at all! A quick break though… it’s an unagi recipe today, and then it’s back to tuna! Mmmmm…
