Homemade sushi!

I'm forcing myself to write at least one post before I take off for Italy today. Sorry, I've been slacking lately.

This past Friday I hung out with my cousin and his girlfriend. She wanted to make sushi so that's what we spent the better part of the night doing. I like sushi. Well, actually, I like California rolls. I'm still a newbie when it comes to sushi - the thought of raw fish creeps me out.

Moving on. It was actually really, really easy to make. Sometime in the future, in my imaginary house, I'd love to have to a sushi party. I think people would get a kick out of it.

You basically start with either seaweed or some soy wrap that I tried. You rub some cooking oil on your hands so when you're spreading the rice, it's not sticking to you. Make sure when you're spreading the rice, you're thinking FEE, FA, FO because I look like I'm pounding down that rice in the below picture.

After you lay down a thin layer of rice, you start adding whatever you want. In my case, I had a veggie roll, so we laid down avocado, carrots, and cream cheese. We didn't have any fake crab - only raw tuna and raw salmon (not for me).Then you roll it. I'm not sure if we mastered the rolling process but it worked.
And then you cut the roll into little mini rolls. I'm not going to lie, my veggie one was pretty damn good.
