Sushi Party

Julie and I went up to the City (San Fran) last night to have dinner with our friends John and Jasmine. They live about 2 blocks from Japan town so we walked to a Japanese supermarket and got all the stuff to make home sushi. We were skeptical but it was a remarkable success! Fish was very fresh and we were actually able to make the rolls without creating messy rice balls destined for the trashcan. I suspect this was largely due to Jasmine's father's recipe for sushi rice. It made the rice surprisingly easy to work with.
Look how legit we look :) The most fun part was making up our own rolls and naming them.

Hey Greg,

Those small descriptors are just regular text. I just select the text and click "Center" and then there is another box in the editor where you can change the text size and color. It works a lot like microsoft word - just not quite as nice.

Let me know if you have problems doing it and I can put a screenshot out there so you can see exactly what I'm talking about.
