Does This Make My Lunch Look Phat?
<p>About a month ago, <a href="http://feistyfoodie.blogspot.com/">Yvo from Feisty Foodie</a> announced <a href="http://feistyfoodie.blogspot.com/2007/10/does-this-make-my-lunch-look-phat.html">"Does This Make My Lunch Look Phat?</a>, a contest on her blog. She makes a bento for lunch every day, so her contest is to create a bento box and blog about it. I was super excited when I heard about this... I have loved looking at all her different daily bento boxes, and have wanted to make my own for
Rolls Royce Roll
This is the last of the rolls that we made from Mobo Sushi. (There may be more later, but this is the last of them for now. 😉 ) We thought this one was pretty good. A nice gari flavor, but don’t use too much or it will overwhelm the sushi! I know there are
Mobo calls it… “Guido” Maki
<p>This is, yet again, another roll from <a href="http://sushiday.com/archives/2007/10/04/mobo-sushi/">Mobo Sushi</a>. This is a vegetarian roll, although not vegan because of the cream cheese. On my own, I would have never thought to put nuts or raw garlic in a sushi roll... but turns out it works pretty well! Son liked this roll a lot. I think his parents use basil a lot in their cooking, and he has a lot
Snoball Maki
<p>This is another roll from <a href="http://sushiday.com/archives/2007/10/04/mobo-sushi/">Mobo Sushi</a>. We weren't able to try this while we were there, but we grabbed a take-out copy of the menu and decided to make this at home. This was an interesting roll. Use just a little bit of coconut, or it will overwhelm the roll. Also, Son says it needed to be a little saltier (but of course, he pours salt on everything,
Flying Tiger
<p>This is one of the rolls that I tried at <a href="http://sushiday.com/archives/2007/10/04/mobo-sushi/">Mobo Sushi</a>. Even though I didn't particularly like it when I ate the Flying Tiger at Mobo Sushi, it sounded like it should have been really good! So I decided to make it at home. </p>
Spicy Tempura Roll
<p>I just love how the red pepper in the mayonnaise gives a little kick to the taste of the sushi. There really isn't anything to not like about this, if you like spicy tastes. If you don't, then just adjust the amount of red pepper powder to however you like it.</p>
Bacon Crunchy Shrimp Roll
<p>This is very similar to the original <a href="http://sushiday.com/archives/2006/11/04/crunchy-shrimp-roll/">Crunchy Shrimp Roll</a>... but with bacon! Because bacon makes everything better. :P If you liked the original Crunchy Shrimp Roll and you like bacon, then you are gonna <em>love</em> this one!</p>
Jack-Fruity-Tooty Sushi
Whenever Son visits his parents, his mom sends a bunch of food and fruit back with him. Recently, she sent a bag of jackfruit. I had never tried jackfruit before, so Son made me try some. It’s pretty good! It tastes similar to mango (I think), but not quite as sweet. Anyways, I had recently
Kristen Maki
A couple of months ago, my little sister, Kristen, left a comment on Crunchy Shrimp Roll requesting a roll with bacon, green onion, avocado and mozzarella cheese. So a week or two ago, I had all the ingredients so I decided to try it. It is really good! (Of course, any roll with bacon is
