Homemade sushi

I'm now in week five of having no kitchen, and the void is palpable.  Taking a kitchen away from an RD is like taking a canvas away from a painter - my art is totally stunted.  So what am I doing to cope?  Collecting more recipes than ever in anticipation of the big day when I can cook again.  Going out to eat has lost its thrill, so once I'm set with a kitchen, I plan to eat every meal at home for several months.  Today I happened upon this fun blog about how to make one of my favorite out-to-eat meals, in - homemade sushi.  You'll have to be on your best food handling behavior, but otherwise, it doesn't look too tough.  I love the ice cream-cone shaped handroll idea.

 

Whether you're braving it at home, or leaving it to the pros, here is a list of Japanese words that may come in handy.

About Jennifer

I am a registered dietitian with the National Fisheries Institute, so fish is my nutrition forte. I earned my BA in Communication from Southwestern University, just outside of Austin, TX. During college, one of my very favorite evening outings was a leisurely trip to the healthful food market. My passion for food was undeniable, so I combined both of my interests by earning my MS in Nutrition Communication from Tufts University in Boston, MA. As well as my Registered Dietitian (RD) credential through the University of Delaware.

Beyond reading scientific studies about docosahexaenoic acid and selenium, I love to entertain, travel, watch reality TV, grill outdoors, and go to spin class. I live in Washington, DC and am surrounded by a cast a characters you will get to know as you read my blog, including my fiancé (Lloyd), my cat (Miles), and my three sisters.
