I do have to confess something about this post, it is a bit overdue. We made sushi back in July! I have had every intention of writing about it but one thing or another kept me from doing it, mostly out of laziness. I have had the pictures in my inbox for the entire time saying to myself as long as I keep them in plain sight then I will eventually write the post.
I am happy to say I am finally writing the post.
Sushi is a food that my love for it comes and goes. For many years I enjoyed it and then I got to the point where although I didn’t hate it I felt like I could only have a couple pieces before I was done. Well I am back to a love of sushi and thought it was about time to make my own.
Sean and I have some wonderful friends in Qualicum Beach who are gracious enough to give us their daughter Amy’s room whenever we want to come visit, which is not nearly often enough. We have been hearing for year’s about Erik’s homemade sushi and with my renewed love of sushi we decided to get all the makings and roll ourselves some sushi.
What I loved about this whole process was that Erik and Danielle got all the different ingredients together and then we just went about creating any sort of roll we wanted. We had tuna, avocado, cream cheese, salmon, crab, cucumber and some spicy sauce.
Erik explained the importance of good sushi rice and the whole process that goes into it, little did I know that the rice was so important. He then showed us the basics of rolling both with rice on the inside and on the outside and then we were creating our sushi.
As we made our tower of sushi I thought that there was no way we were going to be able to eat all that food. Little did I know that Amy and Lydia, Erik and Danielle’s daughters, were such huge sushi fans and that when challenged Sean and Erik will egg eachother on until they have stuffed themselves sick. Thanks to these two things we finished all the sushi and were ready for a bit of a nap.
We had a wonderful visit with the Weisner family and hopefully there are many more sushi visits in our future.

We love making sushi at home it’s rarely an option for us to go out and eat sushi at a restaurant. You can check out our sushi party here. http://thefoodaddicts.com/foodbuzz-24-24-24-an-interactive-sushi-party/
