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,
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
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
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,
Beach Grill Maki
Imagine walking along the beach on a bright summer day. The cool salt water rushes in to swirl around your ankles, then races away playfully. A slight breeze brings a whiff of salty ocean air. You hear seagulls squawking all around you. The taste of the briny ocean air is on your lips as you
Mango Tuna Tango
<p>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
Pepper Tuna Roll
<p>The most wonderful thing happened to me the other day. I took my very last final. Ever. Yes, that's right, I'm finished with school. Graduation is this weekend, and then I never have to be back here, ever! (Unless I really want to. But then it's by choice, not because I have to for my degree.) </p> <p>Unfortunately, that means I will be extremely busy during the next
Guns and Roll
<p>Today, I cannot think of a single thing to write for you. I'm in the middle of finals, so I'm going to blame it on stress and studying. Don't worry, I have a recipe for you, but in lieu of trying to write more about it, I'm going to do another meme that I've been putting off. <a href="http://www.wilsonswordsandpictures.com/">Ellen Wilson</a> splatted me with a <a href="http://www.wilsonswordsandpictures.com/?p=56">meme tomato</a> a month ago (don't
