Sarah and I are rolling our own Sushi and I found a great article through LifeHacker that gives excellent instructions. Anybody out there dig Sushi? To quote Nacho Libre . . . “I loooove it . . . Iss the best!” It was a nice break while I did some major revamps on the blog platform (most of which are under the hood). Hey . . . what’s your favorite kind of Sushi?

I notice your twitter says "our" art fell apart, uh hmm. I am pretty sure it should read YOUR art fell apart, lol.
That’s one food I just can’t eat. No favorites here–sorry!

@Sarah: YES FOLKS HER SUSHI WAS PERFECT! Sorry . . . I forget sometimes that "we" really means "me." I was a lot eager to eat that fish cake than she was, hence i reckon she spent a but more time on hers!
@Jessica: Oh my goodness, you need to have a few beers and loosen up! I will guarantee you once you start developing a taste for sushi you will be HOOKED. It is so expensive, I am excited we have bought the stuff to make it ourselves! Sarah hates the taste of fish and even she has become a believer ;)
I really like sushi :D, dunno what really would be my favorite. For the sake of simplicity to eat as a single piece I’d say the makizushi forms are definitely the easiest, hehe :P.
Like many westerners though I suppose I could also just go biting it off but I like eating it more traditional.
One thing which I definitely don’t like is when people predrip it in soy sauce and put on the wasibi for you which for some reason is something especially western people just love to do when preparing stuff I’ve noticed.
The soy makes it taste better imo. But I am a purist so if it is prepared with the finest ingredients, I might hold back!
I wouldn’t disagree there, it does make it taste better. But soy and wasabi kinda are two things which totally depend on the taste of each person on whether you want just a little bit of it or some more.
If you prepare sushi for others I’d personally say giving the soy and wasabi separately along therefore is the way to go, just like it’s traditionally done as well.
I’m a big fan of sushi and just talked to someone that was at a party where they all rolled their own sushi.
In my house, I am the only one that will even eat cooked fish so I am not sure I would make use of having my own tools for making sushi.
While I like just about everything, I would have to say one of my favorites is the very basic spicy tuna roll.
Spicy tuna works! I’m your basic California Roll dude.
I’ll never forget the time a friend and I stopped in a small, local sushi place and experienced such a wide variety of things.
Apparently the sushi chef (not sure if they have an official title) was feeling bored as well as generous, as he continued to make us very interesting pieces to try on the house. That was the first time that I ever tried roe and I am not sure I would have tried that on my own but we could not reject his generosity.
The Unagi, sweet salt water eel, is my #1 fave.
