Independence Day Sushi Parfait

<p>Happy Independence Day! I hope everyone is having a fun Fourth of July celebration! Well, my American readers anyways. Sorry everyone else. :( Now don't get mad at me, because I <em>know</em> this isn't really sushi, or even that close, but I'm going to post it anyways! Because I can. :D </p>

Cha-Shu Sushi

I grew up with my mom making cha-shu. She would make a big batch for dinner one night and we would eat it with ramen, and then eat it in sandwiches the rest of the week. It wasn’t until I met Son that I ever heard it referred to by the Chinese name – char

On Father’s Day, after I was finished making the sushi, my mom made tapas. My sister always requests them, because she went to Spain over spring break on a trip with some of her teachers and classmates from her high school. She’s such the world traveller… plus she got to go to Kenya in middle

Spam Musubi

<p>Spam musubi isn't exactly sushi, although it is very similar. It is a popular Hawaiian snack using spam, regular rice (not sumeshi), and nori.

Sweet Curry Sushi

<p>I tried making a quick and easy curry that didn't use very many ingredients. I intended to make something that tasted like good curry, without all the work. Unfortunately... things don't always go as planned. </p>

Banh Mi Sushi

<p>Banh Mi Sushi is a new favorite of mine. Son and I went to a BBQ yesterday for one of his friends' birthday, and brought this meat and it was a hit! We thought it might taste good in sushi, so we stole one and brought it home... and we were right!</p>
